Okay, this stuff I love...LOVE...and I will celebrate having it.
BUT it drives me crazy when I see things like THIS.
Because the image sequence *specifically* addresses shadows, and then there is a clear missing shadow in the Iray take...
The hand shadow across the chest...
Is this a bug I am seeing, or some element of lighting that Iray is handling properly that iClone PBR was not? What is that!?
What is the answer to the question- What happened to the hand shadow across the chest?
Shouldn't the shadow McJiggy allow you to replicate the shadow?
Because this missing shadow made me wonder if iClone's lights are not handled the same inside Iray?
And if that is the case, then the extent of the imaging/ post processing appears pretty minimal.
MINIMAL!
This is what it shows:
1) Exposure
2) Highlights
3) Shadows
4) Saturation
5) WhitePoint
Okay, if they are ON TOP OF what iClone's lighting can do, great. But NOT enough if it is just Iray's handling, in addition to an IBL.
I HAVE TO POINT THIS OUT.
iClone has AO settings, HDR settings - with Bloom effects. And then its own Tone Mapper!....Not to mention then, its own GI panel.
And I see there are separate Sun Settings...er, "Sun Seetings" (which I love, leave it this way), and then Sky and Horizon Settings. So I acknowledge I do not know the full gamut of what is there.
But Imaging-Tonemapper seems coming up short. Brightness, Contrast, Hue!....HUE!!!! Not just whitepoint, HUE!
FIX NOW, NOT LATER.
Speaking of Hue...There better be LUT action in there, too. Octane has, in its imaging area, a node channel to load in LUTs, like iClone.
And, I know I can LUT in whatever I want with Photoshop. No...I want in Iclone, in Iray plugin!
OMG -- No excuses for another renderer to have what iClone's PBR has, and then iClone's own renderer does not have it.
OMG x2....and a Post Processing area...this HAS TO HAVE POST PROCESSING bloom and all that glinty glare action.
By the Sun-Seetings God, I beg you....include a robust Imaging and Post Imaging suite.
For Iray's sake, please. Okay, I will break it to you...Iray can't do it alone...it needs iC7's magic sprinkled on top, or underneath, and then Iray on top.
Okay, listen...it doesn't matter who is on top of who, or who's parts are where, just sandwich the 2 together so that it is a delicious meaty sandwich, with extra onion rings AND a side salad, WITH grilled chicken and avacados.
Pretty please, with a diet Pepsi.
And where is the restroom?
Thank you.
@CtrlZ - typically, and up to this point historically, SLI does nothing for GPU rendering. Just having 2 in system is all that is needed, like in Daz Iray.
