a 3d raytracing of polyhedra, with a very bright sunny sky. the crystals are various colors, yellows, ruby, blue, purple, orange, some faces have the sky color, others reflecting colors, so its somewhat chaotic

I wanted to see how far I could realise lapping beach water in #UnrealEngine, Simmed in #Houdini, Using UE5-Main (5.6) Raster rendering with the new Raytraced Translucency and Lumen.

This is some really cool stuff, Epic has been working on a new RayTraced Translucency on UE5-Main that uses Hit Lighting for reflections and refraction, as well as working with DOF!! Its super early but its shaping up well.

CGI render of the Black Lodge from Twin Peaks. There are red curtains all around, a black and white zigzag patterned floor, just the usual stuff Two Muu Muus, weird squid like creatures are chilling happily in the dim light another render, now with Robbit also standing on one of the armchairs, waving his arm. A small round Kiwi (the birb) sits next on the armrest. Another Kiwi is standing between the MuuMuus

The new Ray-Traced Translucency in #UnrealEngine 5.6 (UE5-Main) is really something! Combined here with Substrate materials

More testing of the new RT Translucency in UE5-Main, here you can see all the multi layer refraction working, DOF, and proper lumen lighting.

Definitely keeping an eye on this as it gets built.

🌌🎢 "It's chaotic, but I'm just getting used to the mechanics and gameplay… and I love it! 🎮 The ray tracing in #PlanetCoaster2 is absolutely brilliant, adding that extra spark. 🌠🚀 Can't wait to build even bigger and better parks!" #GamingLife #PlanetCoaster2 #RayTracing #GamerExperience #NextGen

Old scene, new render!
If you recognize this pool you're a perv ;P

90s ass looking CGI render of the Hanazono Room indoor pool at night. An angled glass roof covers the left half of the room, casting a shadow on the wall on the right. In the back of the room are three potted plants and closed door to the right

PovCat Ray & Tripple Bass Trio - Ingo Janssen (1999)

(rendered on a 266MHz Toshiba Tecra)

#caturday #raytracing #art #retro
a rendering from povray, on a toshiba tecra laptop, of 4 floating cat heads, very round, with pompadour hair looking like fonzie or elvis. the eyes have tiny dot pupils further giving it a goofy feel, all over a checker background, and the text 'povcat ray' 'triple bass trio' in a diner font.

We had the Grand Finals of the Teapot Rendering Competition this week. These are original scenes by students at the #UniversityofUtah, rendered using their own ray tracers written in C++, commemorating the famous #UtahTeapot. You can see them all here:

Really putting the new RayTraced Translucency in UE5-Main through it's paces last night, incredibly impressed with it, Virtual textures don't seem to work with it yet (hence the clean CD cases haha)

More testing of the new RayTraced Translucency in UE5-Main (5.6), still working out a good foam solution for stuff like this.

Unarchived an old scene designed for path tracing to really test this with, feeling pretty good for non-path traced translucency!

After about 30 mins of small optimizations I have it running fully playable on the deck! :)

for the peeps who love ancient raytracing software and wanna do rad renders like these
#raytracing #Vintage3D
A render of a PVM 20M4E in an empty, bright space. The tally light is lit, and the screen shows a low res image of Lain Iwakura. A can of Hassy Recover (0,33l) is placed right next to the monitor Render of "That Pool" of No. 136 Hanazono Room. The water "looks" clear, but I think every pool filter has its limits......
