free download: 3d project – Pabellon Barcelona v1.2
Hi everyone, this is an update to the last Posted 3d model with some new cool features
the v1.2 Updates features:
- different day times (midday, sunset, night) in different scenes, but inside the same blend file, the geometry and materials still shared between them
- GPU benchmark scene, optimized to load on 1Gb Graphic cards
- CPU Optimized render settings , I’ve tried both the non progressive and progressive samplers I found that the progressive sampler gives less noise in shorter times (about 25% faster)
- the pebbles are now scattered with the particle system instead of huge displaced subdivided plane
- renamed the materials and separated the assets (tree, lotus flower, chair, pebbles) to a different scene
rendered with two GPUs ( 2 x geforce GTX 580 1.5Gb)
render times for different scenes were :
- midday : render size :4800×2700 pixels / 700 samples / render time: 01 hour
- sunset: render size :4800×2700 pixels / 1000 samples – render time 3h46min hours
- night: render size :4800×2700 pixels / 3000 samples- render time 6 hours
- GPU benchmark scene: 1280×720 pixels / 100 samples- render time 1min12s (2x Geforce GTX580) and (2m:15s with one Geforce GTX580)
- CPU benchmark scene: 1280×720 pixels /100 samples – render time 7min47s (intel core i7 2600 3.5Ghz)
here’s the source files created with blender 2.66 Download Current blender version (latest but can be instable)
enjoy !

thanks
I’ve made Hires render (4800 x 2700 pixels) included in the download file, the following are 100% crops
