Epic - STONE BRIDGE . . .( the making )

A structure that spans and provides a passage over a road, railway, river, or some other obstacle
There is no complete communication system without a bridge. Laying foundations for this beautiful arched bridge where the river flows all year round was not an easy task, but the town's masons managed to built it proving them selves to be skillful engineers.

Epic - GUARD TOWER . . .( the making )

In dark medieval times, every city had to defend itself. Buildings like Guard Tower enable soldiers to spot the enemy on time in order to make all necessary actions to properly prepare the city for attack. When the soldiers on the Guard Tower sound the alarm, town gates are being sealed and all who can fight equip themselves with weapons and readily await the battle to commence. Guard towers are built on the outskirts of a city, preferably on higher ground. These buildings have to be sturdy enough to withstand enemy’s cannon balls, stones thrown by catapults or even attacks by frenzied monsters such as Giants and Treeman. It has to be high enough so soldiers are able to see as much landscape as possible. Sometimes whole regiments of archers and other troops are stationed in one Guard Tower.

CAUSTIC WATER . . . Tutorial with Tips and trick :)

Here's my caustic version using mm. in sketchup since inches is the default unit. I use nomeradona's displacement texture here - many thanks sir nomer

From Default setting open vray option editor, adjust GI photon radius from 50 to 250 and caustic subs 1000 to 6000 open caustics change Max photons from 30 to 762, Multiplier from 1 to 1.5, and search dist from 20 down to 1.5 and I set my texture size in material editor 7000w x 5250h in mm. for more realistic caustic projection.

here's my sample image render using two different caustic subs

sample image render using 4 different search distance 

sample image render with good caustic setting (please correct me if i am wrong)

 

sample image displacement by nomeradona here

 

here's the trick using that same displacement - add reflection and set IOR 1.33

in diffuse layer M attached the displacement material by nomeradona

 in transparency layer M attached texAcolor and change pure white

add refraction set IOR also 1.33 and set Fog color RGB 205,247,255 and change mult from 1 to 0.1 ( this is the tint color multiplier higher value produce darker color tint lower value produce lighter color tint ) :)

add displacement using same texture displacement with 0.5 value

many thanks and I hope you enjoy and keep on practicing. visoft and poolwater vismat
