Check out this coin I am working on...

you will see the Red/white stripes object getting rendered in the underbelly of the bullfrog.....

as you will see the white/blue stars passing through on the edge.. where the object clipping should of made the object hidden underneight the main top object... ... what a issue.

at first I thought it was just reflection... but it is the actual object that interfering with a proper render... ahh

none of my maps have transparency maps .... still trying to figure it out.

some detailing of displacement issues I am talking about and object that is getting rendered through...

wow. such heavy subdivision makes it extremely hard on my computer..

I dare to bring the subdivision below 0.2 as things getting pretty lagged at that point... but I need extreme detail for a gold coin..

i tried to use the turbosmooth on Iterations at above 2+ during render and my system exception-ed out saying that I need 12gigs of ram etc etc... not good.. considering I only have 4gigs....

hmmm I am hedging on the notion that there are micro holes in the top mesh that are allowing the stars/white/red stripes to show through....but that is just a thought....

here is a zoom-in of the artifacts I notice.

i think they are causing issues...

ohh wow. I think I got it solved....

seems that using a Circle that I then added the mod Cap Holes and then subdivided as the biggest problem that I was overlooking.

so what I did was I created a quad patch and then I subdivided.... . that I will crop into a circle.

the subdivision that you will see in the screen shot is soo perfect...

no issues as of yet. :) I was fighting with a circle where I should of started with a patch grid...

hope this will get it going with no shinny areas that are not conformed properly.

here is one of my earliest renders.

trying to get the gold to look as real as possible.... sooo hard

and another one... exposure control set on..

http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/7400/bullfroggoldcorp3drende.jpg

you will see that I started to work in some red and white glossy plasticlike details

very awful gold material.. and wow.. my lighting is all out of control... .need to reset the scene.... omg

I also put in some gold bar strips that separate the flag colors....

I am trying to make it so that the flag area colors (red/white) look like actual paint that has been added to the gold... so it has a "dish" to sit in......

I was thinking of using thinking particles and some fumefx/glue3d to the mix... or use a particle settling spray to fill in the dishs with a liquid...

What software are u using?


funny how a message that I replied with didn't show up...

hey i am using 3ds2012 64bit, Vray 2 as the render.


what I did as u will see from my now older posts that I fixed the glitches I was having in the subdividing...

** Big Trick **

Never try to subdivide a circle object as a base element that you want to eventually displace neatly.... it did turn out some very sweet looking images... and funny how I have yet to accomplish the degree of rendering...

as detailed .. I started off with a rectangle patch grid and it solved it. and I think just selected the inner verts and select invert / delete.. PooF.

perfect displacement....

this one shows the time it takes to render that little square on the right..... but also the detail on the smooth mesh vs the earily ones.
