Kerkythea Rendering Software - micheus - 12-01-2014
This thread is dedicated to share information about the Kerkythea render software.
* The initial posts were started in the Star wars hovercraft artwork thread.
The new Kerkythea site is ready.
I noticed that download page doesn't make reference to the Echo Boost version (a release candidate) that is faster than previous one and also includes a 64bit version of the program. You can find the it here.
Some useful links:
- Kerkythea Documentation (The Material Editor Guide is very helpful)
- Kerkythea 2008 tutorials Master Listing
- Material Packs Master Listing - a collection of links
- Kerkythea – DoF using Depth Map and GIMP from Studiorola tutorials.
Obs: The only thing I noticed was that the Depth map had needed to be inverted before use it.

Very nice renders
Kerkythea is free to use ?
It's free for use (also for commercially)
If you have a good balanced settings - Strong rendering tool
(kerkythea dislikes lot of lights or illuminated materials
= high rendering time)

It would be looking really great with some desert backround
Anyway guys, is there a way in Kerkythea to disable rendering of backfaces ?

another question:
UV seams are always visible when rendering in Kerkythea, but normally in Wings or Unreal Tournament not, my textures are ideally cover seams.. Is there a way in Kerkythea to make seams less visible ??

Sometimes you need to scale down the mesh a little or paint the image out of the mesh.
* Don't forget to take a look at those links I put in the first post in this thread. You can find useful information there.

Olve11, that's a excelent tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
Because I tried in the past I just see a situation which it seems to not work - if the scene have a transparent/translucent sphere - I was not able to merge that rendered scene with a picture and it work fine. Maybe I did something wrong!?
Radi, that's a situation I didn't experienced. I'll check it.
