@ NUTS 2 U hmm… the file seems to be correctly loaded. i have tried the site in all the browser and it works. the reason i am not uploading it to other site is because i have super pathetic internet. i had hard time uploading it the 1st time.
but even with my connection i can download the file from the site just fine.

I can’t visit this webpage, no matter which browser I’m using. If you’re not able to host this file on your side in a right way than better upload it to mediafire or whatever…

For the Luxrender exterior…

The material changed white because Lux makes glowing materials into ‘Blackbody’, physically accurate light sources. To fix this and emit any color you want, change the material type to ‘Constant’, and then simply re-select the color of the material.

For the raytracing, I have no idea. Try re-creating the material with Lux materials.

One thing I LOVE about Luxrender is that the materials are EASY to set up. Even from scratch. This is one thing that really attracts me to it, since I can simply model everything in Blender, then make the materials in Lux. Or, model and materialize (so to speak) in Blender, and simply tweak the materials for Lux.

Seems you need to re-evaluate the AAO
When writing documents for beginners don’t make conclusions too hastily, or downplay certain features.

Thank you for sharing your render results.

There’s a pretty big typo on page 4, in the paragraph marked “4″. It says that “Kerkythea 0.6 does this
job excellently. Not only all material are exported correctly, it also support blender procedural textures. Pretty neat. Kerkythea came second.”

I’m pretty sure it was really “Luxrender 0.6″ he meant to write as coming first, not Kerkythea which is now past version 2

Thanks abhifx and n-pigeon. Yeah, it’s IBL (image based lighting) that my fuzzy head was trying to recall. I hope Blender 2.5 will have IBL. From what I’ve seen and my limited 3D knowledge it looks like the best and easiest way to light a scene.

@ abhifx …
Get yourself a free MediaFire account and host the PDF there…

I use MediaFire to supply artwork files to clients and have found it very straight forward and reliable.

i have a super slow Internet connection. since lot of people are having trouble downloading it, i would others who have downloaded it to upload it somewhere else and post the link. i will be very grateful. thanks in advance.

i know the article is a bit rough, its my 1st shootout anyway. but i will polish it and update all the renderer with the latest version.

@ jon i think i have explained what is G.I. in the article in a layman’s term. what you are referring to is image based lighting a.k.a IBL. currently blender supports it by a patch included in kais blender build.

remember this article is work beginners who are just starting with g.i.

@ agent the materials were exported without any modification to check how good the exporter worked. of course each renderer could have been tweaked.

@Jon
In first one yes you were :] GI isn’t like that. This is IBL
