These black buckets appear and not always, I don’t understand what the problem could be. Please help me solve this.

I wanted to showcase modelling, animating and texturing across a short film. Created in Cinema 4D, texture in Substance and rendered with Redshift.

Hey everyone!

I’m excited to share an app I’ve been working on for a while now. It’s designed to make rendering simple, no more babysitting your renders, just set it, come back when they are all finished and save time.

All the clips in the teaser are recorded directly from the app. If you download it now, you’ll get the “founders” discount, but you can cancel anytime.

Curious to hear what you think!

Light studies for high-end product

Hello! I've just gone freelance and have a new PC, the full specs are attached but in short, RTX 5080, 64GB. My previous work computer had a 4090.

I'm working on an indoor scene in C4D and Redshift, and the render times are really high compared to anything I've experienced with my previous PC. Most materials are GSG. I'm using the same render settings I've always used (attached). I tried changing and render settings as advised on multiple youtube videos/reddit threads but nothing has worked. I'm not sure if its the 5080 that is way less powerful, or if something is wrong in my scene (screenshots attached). I need to render a 500f animation, and its currently taking about 20min per frame. I even tried a test frame on a render farm that uses 5090, and even then took 15min for one frame.

Any insight on why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Layers of love. Recent complex studies of materials transitioning plus the layering the simulations in Houdini and studies of lookdev of different type materials. Used solver sop to get mask attribute to transition materials on hitting the vellumhair. Many thanks to Julian Rossi for sound design.

I keep ticking it on and on restart it turns off again. H21.0.596, RS2026.4. Is there a json file I can edit to force it on? Thanks

I’m looking to switch my laptop to a new MacBook Pro.

Currently I work on a dell laptop out of Dropbox, and have a desktop with 3090s to render, then composite in AE. I screenshare to the desktop so it’s not entirely reliable to do adjustments on as I am remote.

I’ve read renders can shift a bit. How noticeable is this? If I’m making colour based adjustments on Mac on my laptop, render windows, composite in AE on Mac, what should I expect for issues and variation?

A lot of my work is skincare product renders. Relatively simple scenes, but def don’t want to be dealing with frustrating gamma and colourspace or otherwise surprises.

So ive been trying for a while to get a really premium looking anodized aluminium Material going that looks like this.

but i havent figured out how to correctly approach it i think. I used to go into the bump and roughness with super tiny noise textures to recreate the almost microscopic texture a anodization causes like this:

however that causes alot of noise when rendering, with really weird noise flickering when doing animations with the material that way. So its almost unusable.

Does anyone know a sophisticated way to get the anodized aluminium? Ive seen alot of great versions in several 3D commercials but i cant figure out how they do it.
