Description
"You can do photorealism in 3Delight but it takes super powers". Hear this before? Yes, well I know this isn't photo real but I'm just kicking about with Omnifreaker's uber shader in DAZ Studio. I don't know the first thing about creating physically accurate materials, other than the basic law of conservation.Concrete texture from CG Textures. Lat/long HDR from sIBL Archive. Everything else is created directly in DAZ Studio. Ubersruface, UberEnvironment, a single UberArea light.

this is wicked well done and real enough for me

It is a good start Jim and shows realism is more than light.
Do you use Diffuse Roughness as that would add extra detail. Don't know what Diffuse Roughness isΒ community.thefoundry.co.uk/disβ¦ For Uber Surface lower than 1 is for more matte surfaces, higher than 1 for more glossy surfaces. The effect is very subtle but IMHO makes a big difference when adding Anisotropic highlights, reflection blur etc etc.Β

Yeah, left the realistic light out here, well actually, I just didn't go the extra length of doing complex simulations. IBL is great like that. All about the material settings here. Using diffuse roughness would make a difference with the sort of brushed aluminum thingy there. Might give it a try on this very scene and see how it turns out.

I am finding nice results with One Dsitant for the sun, 8 distant light for the sky light and bounce (4 facing downward at 45 degrees at 90 degree increments colour a saturated blue (daylight) Β and 4 facing up at 45 degrees again at 90 degree increments colour the same as the ground) and UE2 using IDL. If you are interested I can share some UE2 settings.

Hey, I wouldn't say no to seeing some interesting UE2 configurations. Hook me up!

Can you send me a note Jim with your email address as I want to send you a pic that I don't want to show publicly yet.Β

Wow, looks spot-on to me!! I'm sure that tech-savvy people would look at the reflections and nitpick something but looks great to me!

Thanks. Yeah I guess for physically accurate materials no amount of tinkering with sliders will do. You need SCIENCE! When it comes to realism close enough is good enough for me.
