hey man...the test hdri teste...with logarithm is so cool...i like the result...can you show this scene? lights,hdri...etc...thanks...and congrats for your work.
Hi Marco, I updated that last blog entry to add the settings. It's a simple setup, I put the hdr in the scene environment map slot. Then added a skylight to the scene and setup the final gather. Just keep in mind those settings aren't for speedy renders (but surprisingly, it wasn't as slow as I expected it to be).
The hdri is generating those shadows because of the high fg settings I used and the fact that it's a good .hdr file. BTW, the .hdr file is the kitchen probe that's readily available online.
Jeff, you are the man!
Your insight into Mental Ray has helped me a lot. Ever thought of realeasing a DVD?
Your caustics info is great. Looking forward to the mental ray material library.
cheers Matt
