Suite 2101

I have been tempted so many times to buy Suite 2101 and I finally did so today as it was on sale again. I have to say that it is a superb piece of work - kudos to the artist, Hole.

I loaded it and tried a render. Even in 3Delight it took half an hour (and that was with AoA lights instead of the UE set that is included). Then I read another thread and learned the trick is to set 3Delight to progressive render. That made a huge difference - 5 minutes for the same render. The materials are so good, metals and satins, etc. look better than I've ever been able to produce in 3Delight renders. I believe there are some Iray presets available as a freebie add-on too.

I don't know if it is allowed to recommend products but I will anyway - this one is a must buy.

    Thanks for the recommendation. I have Hole's Hot Dog Cart. That is another superb piece of 3D modeling and texture work. It also has some free Iray textures that Hole made available in the forum. Granted, a hot dog cart may be a niche item, but oh what fun to use!

    The attention to detail is just wonderful but Hole manages to achieve a level of realism I have rarely seen before - especially for renders in 3Delight.

    Please post some examples. I always like to see what a user can achieve with a product. I'll post a hot dog cart I did when I first got the product.

    Here is my first and still favorite Hot Dog Cart render. I'm pretty sure I did it in 3Delight, but honestly I don't remember for sure.

    Here's a shot of the room. It took 6 minutes in 3Delight.

    Wow, 6 minutes! That is impressive. Thanks for posting the day and night versions.
    Your thread about the quality of Hole's textures inspired me to do a new Hot Dog Cart render with Iray. This took 1.5 hours with GPU and CPU at 2000 by 1600. It used the Sun Sky environment. The original file would not post because of "The uploaded file exceeds the maximum allowed size in your PHP configuration file.", so I used Photoshop to rejpeg it with greater compression to fit the forum requirements (what are they anyway???)

    Thanks for the links to the Iray files.

    Heh, I've been on-and-off considering buying the cart since it came out, and I only now noticed the name on the umbrella... ;-)
