I recently picked up a copy of Carrara, and decided to fire it up today. I was on the [H] board most of the day, and decided....how about some [H]ard Wallpaper?!?!


Here you go! They are large 1920x1200 (as designed for 24"+ monitors)

...if you want them in 2560x1600 let me know too.

Awesome work! I'll use this on my widescreen at home. I'd love 4:3 versions for the rest of my systems tho.. Think its possible?
 
just plain [H] would be good in 1280X1024 for me at least

Just take the large one and scale it down.



Might I suggest turning up the GI settings? The blotches under the letters is a bit of a turn-off, if you ask me.

the 'blotches' are just the shadows. I didnt set the render settings THAT high, as it was just going to end up a jpeg anyways.

I did render it on all high settings...took quite a while...and lemme tell ya it looked damn good.

Global illumination. It's a lighting technique where every single object in the scene acts as a light source. So if you have a room with a window and a strong sunlight falling on the floor, global illumination causes that hotspot on the floor to illuminate the entire room, automatically. It takes a long time to render, but it takes much less time to set up compared to using regular lights to fake the effect. If you want a good illustration of the effect, turn off all the lights in your room and take a flashlight. Shine it on a white piece of paper, and move around. Notice how the light bounces off the paper and into the rest of the room? That is what global illumination does.

Of course they're just shadows. That doesn't mean they couldn't use some improvement. ;) If you want realism, the shadows underneath the letters should be VERY smooth.

What kind of GI does Carrara have? I know it does photon mapping, but does it have any other method? For scenes like this, photon mapping is pretty worthless.
