Hi,
It's my first jewel ring render in KS5
What are the mistakes or light errors, etc... ?
Just a raw render KS, no post in photoshop
Thanks for yours comments.

PS :I do not know any more where i found this model. I believe it's a GrabCad...

An other view with white gold and white gem...

The slight bump on the gold one is really nice, the white gem on the other is really good too, combine the two and you have a winner.

Thanks Martin,
i was afraid with the slight bump on the first picture but your comment reassure me on the realistic goal
thanks

I tried to combine both
thanks for your help

a last with little more texture in gold

To me, the things you can see reflected in the ring (in those renders that have reflective gold) is destracting. If you analyse that, it looks as if your ring is floating 1m above the conference-room table... Maybe I just shouldn't analyse

What do you suggest PhilippeV8 ?

PhilippeV8 · November 23, 2015, 05:20:23 AM

Either to increase height of the environement HDRI .. or use a different one ..

In any case, aligning the ground plane with the "ground plane of the HDRI" is a step you have to take quite often.

OK
Thanks...

I agree here, but perhaps an option is to edit the HDRI and simply blur it until the furniture is no-longer discernible.

True .. which did cross my mind ... but then, will it look like glossy gold .. or rough gold, no matter what material you aply to the ring ............

i've tried in sol73.jpg picture above but the texture in gold became smooth
thanks

I see that now. Sorry for the lame suggestion. Hmm...

here the same render with a studio HDR..
i lost texture in gold and the gem is less realist....
But, what is the best render for customers ? i dunno... it's the goal of my post here.
Thanks again..
