News about GPU rendering with LuxRender, YafaRay, iRay and Maya
In the past few days a lot of interesting news and demos about GPU rendering appear o twitter and user forums. It`s quite clear that after the announcement of Octane Render and Arion, we will start to see even more releases related with GPU render. I will start with the announcement of a GPU render [...]
Comparison between YafaRay, LuxRender, Indigo Renderer and Maxwell Render for architecture
The number of external renders engines compatible with Blender 3D is growing fast, and today we have several options to render projects using advanced global illumination algorithms and methods. A few months ago we only had mostly YafRay and PovRay to create our projects. I know there was other like Sunflow and Kerkythea, but [...]
Free training material about rendering with YafaRay and Blender 3D
The process of designing a courseware about 3d computer graphics is a challenge to set the objectives of the course, and balance the amount of theory and practice that should be applied to the program. Every time I have to do something like that I try to split those types of courses in two categories, [...]
New shader to create frosted glass in YafaRay for interior design
The next version of YafaRay is in development and a few weeks I posted an article about one of the new tools, of what will became YafaRay 0.1.2 in the future, which will allow YafaRay users to use photometric lights (IES files). This is a great feature for architectural visualization artists willing to give more [...]
How to improve interior design renderings with YafaRay and Blender 3D?
An external view of a Project is very simple to accomplish in comparison with interior views, because of the complexity of the light interaction and the setup of light sources. For external views, in most cases we only have to setup a daylight simulation with a sky background and it’s mostly done. In architectural visualization [...]
