"I don't do a lot of outdoor scenes but I'll see if I can squeeze one in over the week or this weekend. Meanwhile...
Again Nice wood texture....... but nothing we have not seen in the last five years with firefly.
IMHO if you truly wish to showcase the advantages of your new internal PBR you should
include outdoor ,daylight renders with HDRI/IBL
light sources.
These" inside a black empty poser universe" renders with point lights do very little to convince users that this will be a major step forward.
I understand that the majority are "portrait makers"
so do some outside "portrait" shots.
Attached is a little quicky preview render from Blender 2.7 of Syyd raven 's "vanilla Sky" texture on the G2 Female.
Lit using the FREE Smart IBL standalone UI from HDRlabs.
Cycles looks as good as Vray , Mental Ray,Maxwell,LUX, IRay.
Can you at least post an actual poser figure with a decent skin & IBL out in broad daylight so people can see how much better cycles is than the old firefly that it is presumably replacing???
