Made a test from Bassam’s tutorial on using cycles and internal together. The result is not terrible, but not perfect. Used another model cause cycles crashes during render (too many objects) and doesn’t work with multiple UV layers like internal does. Cycles is good to use but it has a lot of limits so far.
Not suitable for animation yet – too slow and crashes often. Maybe for statics and interiors. Difficult to work with lights – it seems only be possible to change intensity. Internal also has problems with SSS : for instance, no shadows in ShadowPass. Anyway we won’t use cycles for characters yet, maybe for environments. Now to make some more tests! I’m looking forward for further developments in cycles.
Note from Bassam: If this is Dimetrii’s ‘not perfect’ result, I think his perfect one would give me a heart attack
brilliant as usual.


hi! nice results. can you post the skin material for internal render?
Not perfect? Oh well… looks very very good, both model and shader.
Hi Enrico, remember, Dimetrii is a perfectionist… and he’s great
Lighting in the movie will vary a lot per shot, so we expect to have to tweak occasionally.
