Very impressive that you can do all that just from some photos. A shame all the type/info can't be seen, wonder how it would look lit from the front instead of the back. Good work, author. Reply »

Great tweaks on this since your first upload, author! Nice job of 'silk-screening' on that burlap bag, and those beans look so real - I'll be right over for a cuppa that Arabica Columbian java. Reply »

Thanks for noticing pearlie. There are a lot of poly's in this render with all of those beans, it about burnt my little computer slap up. Reply »

Reply:

Use render instances author, it will reduce a lot your render time and you'll be able to render a huge amount of polys. In your case if you used only one bean the rest of the instanced beans would not count in the rendering to much. It's like rendering only one bean. Good texture on the bag but the fence in the background it's to obvious and very bright. Also if you render a depth map you will be able to trow a depth of field in PS Reply »

@ Rumi, where am I getting sensitive, do you mean that I can't express my thoughts about someones remark on my own entry? I simply said I like my wood bright, what is so sensitive about that? Thanks for the compliment on my beans and mat BTW Reply »

You need to understand mircea there is no fence in this picture, you must mean the wall though. Reply »

Your concept of the coffee beans 'crawling' up the handle and side of the cup is very odd, and the sbs leaves out a lot of info. IMHO, the beans are all very dark and out of focus, while the cup seems to be fairly sharp. No real definition between the surface that the cup and beans are on, and the wall behind. Also, there's a bright highlight on the cup, so I'm wondering why the beans are not lit as well. Interesting start, but could use some tweaks. Reply »

Pearlie, 1 - what didn't you understand from SBS? made a bean.. used instances for the rest of them, used a cylinder, made the cup 2- The beans are not dark, and the interes point is in focusl; the out of focus part is because of the DOF and is calculated as with a real camera in the render i'm using 3- there is no definition between the surface and the wall because that's a studio setup. take a look at the SBS and u'll understand Reply »

Sorry to disagree, author, but look at the light spot that you have low on the cup - and the beans that are right up against it - very big difference in the sharpness of the two, I'd say they have basically the same DOF. So again, if there is a light right there, why aren't at least those few beans up against the cup where the light is, also lit up?

Look again at the beans that are on the bottom surface/table, right in the horizontal center, the area is extremely dark, so much so that it is difficult to distinguish between the beans. I may not know how the 3D programs work, but I'm not blind, either. And even in a studio setup, a little definition would add visual interest, and a touch of reality. To say 'bean done' may mean something to those who work with these programs, but for those of us who check out these entries and do not, it leaves a lot of questions. I calls 'em like I sees 'em.
