I'm really liking that! I think the color you chose was great. It's not a pure black so it adds interest.
Nice work mod-man!

blender artists is very demoralising to visit
and no i obviously did not make this
If you think that's demoralizing, visit CGhub. Blender Artists is amazing but after I found CGhub I couldn't go back to Blender Artists.

I actually thought the two windows were some sort of photograph when I first saw it
That's what I'm trying to go for in the final render with textures and everything.

« on: December 29, 2013, 10:43:26 PM »honestly I don't see the point in having over 2k samples
like the only reason i would ever go above that would be if i was making a final render for a paid project but even then 20k seems quite high.
What D3ATH LORD said is very accurate and I'm going to add to it. The amount of samples depends on the resolution of the image. If you have a low resolution image let's say less than 1K pixels vertically or horizontally, then you probably don't need more than 1k or 2k samples. Also the amount and quality of the lighting and materials used will effect your samples as well. For a high resolution image you will need to up the samples to get a completely non pixilated image.
Samples also depend on the work you're doing. If you're making a HD resolution animation on your own then using 20k samples would be completely ridiculous. If you're making a single image or a few then it's worth the time to get the best result possible, especially if you're trying to make something that reflects the real world. If you're doing a quick test render then you'd want to really lower the samples. There's a bit more to it but some of the concepts are hard to explain. I'll be posting my results hopefully in this week and you can see for yourself what i"m saying.

So played around with the bounces and number of samples to get something that was realistic in terms of lighting and enough samples that if you were to zoom in all the way there would be subtle variation between pixels and no noise at all. I found that 15k-20k would completely remove the pixilation. If you're rendering something with less resolution then you can down the samples by a lot. I've been making a spread sheet with all my results and when I'm done I'll post it and you can see some of the things I've figured out about cycles.

« on: December 29, 2013, 11:21:25 AM »those are cycles so did they take like 5 hours to render
2-5 hours average for all of them at 20000 samples and 7 bounces.

« on: December 29, 2013, 04:47:16 AM »so this is like a noticeably big bump but its only on the third page so whateverThose are all really cool!I find my inspiration through music as well but what you did took it to a new level. congrats on the work.
sometimes when im bored i like to play music then make an image based on what i hear. these are a couple i just did:
-snip-
the last ones song was Funky Notes - Never Knew
