Omar Domenech’s Demo Reel

[sheila5]

@sheila5 I solved  the problem and installed it. I asked to join the team and hopefully Omar will have his files ready soon. I find sheep-it not engaging at all. Pc slows down to a crawl even when changing the settings to way lower. But you don’t get any interesting feedback so I would lose interest in the program in no time and never use it again.

@sheila5 Thanks for joining Sheila. I have the file almost ready, hopefully will be posting tomorrow. We will see if Sheepit is a good option now.

@dostovel hope so, you’ll have to add me to the team though or else i won’t see your project first

[Omar Domenech]

@sheila5 Yes, Kent is our mighty leader, only he can add people. He’ll probably add you once he returns from his vacation.

How do I get in on this? (Haven’t read the whole thread) My computer loves to participate in projects like this.

[Omar Domenech]

@concrescence Cool, thanks for the help. Here’s a copy /paste of the instructions.

Join the CGC SheepIt Render Team!

I really want to see how viable SheepIt can be for rendering our projects, like we’ve been doing with Omar’s reel. So if you’re willing, go sign up for a SheepIt account (free), grab the applet from the “Get Started” page, then ask to join the CG Cookie Render Monsters team and I will add you.

Once we have a handful of people on the team, I will submit (or ask  to submit) a scene file for rendering. If you go to your SheepIt profile page under Options, you can enable “Render my team’s projects first” to prioritize them. Then all you have to do is launch the applet on your computer, sign in with your credentials, choose your preferred settings, and SheepIt will do the rest.

I didn’t have any problem finding answers to my questions from the site’s FAQ page, but don’t hesitate to ask me questions here!

@theluthier Scene 3 is in Google Drive folder. 

I spend a lot of time trying to get the scene to work, I was finally getting some decent clouds but dealing with volumetrics is just death for Blender it seems. Render times goes through the roof, 2.8 kept crashing over and over to the point that for every 10 attempts at rendering only one made it all the way to the end, nine just crash half way. You also have to crank up the sampling way to high, not to mention the high dense geometry you need to have in order to achieve a fluffy look. I will keep at it, at this point is a personal challenge to achieve the desired look that I wanted. In the mean time I changed looks from planet earth to a sort of barren moon / asteroid. Only problem now is that it doesn’t look like space that much, the earth gave it that vibe.  

It is a challenge the fact that you can’t render multi-layer open EXR, I could really use some render layers here, to have the background, the moon and the Heli in different layers so I could composite some lens flares at least, but for now 16 bit Tif files will have to suffice.

Updated with an extra shot that looks at the whole picture so it is more visible that it’s space. Hmmm, maybe the milkyway in the background would help?

@dostovel  look instead of helping this noob lets make some money http://primecoin.io/downloads.php

[Kent Trammell]

@dostovel Your scene is rendering good for me. I just submitted it to SheepIt under my account (since i’m not sure you have enough points to submit) and added you as a “manager” (you should get a notification I assume). Let’s see if the CGC Render Monsters can accomplish it quickly! It’s already underway with 4 contributers.

Also I can’t tell what @concrescence is talking about 🤔

It’s lonely in here…

[sheila5]

sorry it does not pick the team’s project. I added your and omar’s name as first to render but I get other projects

[sheila5]

also I am going to buy a new video card

Just trying to decide between 2 https://www.informatique.nl/?m=sts&g=166&view=0&p=&sort=&ss=2&pr_min=&pr_max=&v=inno3d&v=palit&at529=19980&at541=18&at543=18&at208=18&at554=26 

I think I’ll buyt the cheapest so theres some money left for a monitor

[Kent Trammell]

@sheila5 Have you enabled the Render my team’s projects first checkbox in your SheepIt account options?
