[suggestion] Shadows

(1/2) > >>

Guilherme Amorim:
Hi!

I'm really gratefull! The Art Raytracer is great!
But I can't use soft when I use reflection...
It would be very cool (but,I know, will make slower rendering) use these two options together ^^

Another thing is about shadows in transparent things... would be nice if the shadow seems more opaque or transparent depending of the material
and that "glass effect" would be a great idea too, I mean the light that changes the colour when pass through the transparent object:



I know that some of this suggestion can be hard to do, but are just suggestions ^^
Thanks for your great job, Steve!

And sorry if I wrote something wrong... I'm just learning english yet ;D

Bye

Hi Guilherme! Welcome to the forum!

I agree with you, it would be really great if transparent materials affected the color and intensity of light that goes through...

As for the soft shadows... ART raytracer is able to render soft shadows, it works the same way as the scanline renderer. Didn't you forget to enable AntiAliasing? Soft shadows work only with the AA on...

Guilherme Amorim:
The AA is on, but...

Look:



The shadow seems like a "noise effect"  :-[

Thanks! :D

The problem is number of AA samples.

Click "Render>AA Setup" and try higher value (I think 64 should be ok...); remember, the higher value you enter, the longer it will take to render the image.
