Faboo.  Interior of tube is basically what I want, Poser model is
halfway decent (need to make unique ones for each chamber)...need to
touch up rest of it, make walls more complex, more pipes in an
organic-looking mess.  Trick is doing it by hand.

This does look promising.

What does this actually represent?
If this is something Borg-like, the lights are far too bright,
if this is like a sleeping chamber for long space travel, you
definetely need to use a little warmer light.
Perhaps some bubbles inside the tubes would look great, though
I don't know if they'd show up on this resolution. Or, you
could add some media to make the liquid a little more hazy,
fogged in different parts...

Very good, I hope to see some more of it...

Sort of a computer interface thing, somewhat similar to
the navigation chamber on Outlaw Star or the thing Rei
was in in NGE ep 17 (form, not function...possibly akin
to the Outlaw Star nav thing, tho I want the tangle of
pipes at the top from NGE)

If it's a sleeping chamber for LTST, why need light at all... -_-

Actually, I AM using media...hold on, I'll see if I can
render in a reasonable amount of time the same scene without
the reflective/specularly highlit glass and surface texture
of the media...

...I'll post it when it's done. :b

Har et be, smaller, lesser quality.


The media isn't EXACTLY what I'm wanting, but I'm gonna play
around with the rest of the scene before slamming my head
repeatedly against media again...media's a pain to work with.
The settings that worked fine for my other scene didn't work
at all with this one, etc.

Hm. Perhaps you should try scattering media
lit from underneath/above...

In my opinion, the media should have more wisps and
layers, if you know what I mean. Something more foggy
at least.

But keep up the good work!

The room is mothing to scream about yet, but those poser models are 
expertly rendered! They don't have that 'plastic look' to them, plus the 
light interaction with them seems to be very close to real. What media 
settings did you use?

Hmm might be simply the fact they're being lit full-tilt by 3
'spotlights' (ok point lights inside of hollowed spheres with
a hole for the light ^_^;)...usually people try subdued, even
lighting that reaches all parts evenly...tho I do have to give
major kudos to the poser model itself; I like its proportions
better than the default one's...it still can't pose worth crap
though, which is why the metal band in the middle's there;
moving the legs at all screws up the pelvic region.

Suggestions for room-filling?

> What media settings did you use?

Looksa somesin' lika zis:

#declare Water_Interior = material{
   texture{
     pigment{
       color rgbt <0.0, 0.5, 0.0, 0.8>
     }
   }
   interior{
     caustics 0.75
     media{
       samples 1,2
       variance 1.0/5.0
       ratio 0.071
       absorption rgb <0.75, 0.0, 0.0>
       emission rgb <0.0, 1.0, 0.8>
       scattering{
         4, rgb <0.642857, 0.857143, 0.785714> // rayleigh scattering
       }
       density{
         cylindrical
       }
     }
   }
}

Well, it needs some technologifying done to it. Maybe thin, flexible, 
semi-transparent circuits coming from data storage units attached to the 
walls. Gravity plating for the floors, air-recycling wall panels, 
computer interfaces hanging from the ceiling, stuff like that.

You mean you didn't use media for the humans? They look pretty good , like they did
have scattering media.
