mitchrichie Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 www.ragusmedia.com/shower4.jpg CG architecture is a hobby of mine. Just trying to get better so any critique is welcome. Render based on models from Evermotion - this was mostly a lighting and texturing exercise. Rendered in Maxwell. I realized after a hour and a half render that the weight is floating slightly... Thanks for any tips and critique you may have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneis Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Not bad, not bad at all. A hobby eh? Apart from the contact problems (weight bench too) the main adjustment needed is the scale of your textures. The fllor boards look as though they're about 6 inches wide. Similar problem with the shower enclosure textures. The lighting approach is nice, but a bit too underexposed for the shower enclosure. As the windows are already "blooming", you can afford to increase the illumination to the rest of the shot and still keep that effect without going over the top. Nice work, HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchrichie Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 Yup, a hobby. There was some discussion about training a few of us to do this type of service at work but the funding just wasn't there so I started learning it on the side just for fun. I'll play with the size of those textures... Thanks for your comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneis Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 You could also drop a post in the Maxwell area of CGArchitect, I'm sure you'll get some advice about your render settings there. Unfortunately I'm more from the mentalRay side. Shame about your work situation, keep it up and show your renders to your "boss"...maybe they'll meet you half way. Al the best.

mitchrichie Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 shaneis, I'm a maya user and started with mental ray. I still play with it from time to time but I enjoy the quick setup time that maxwell has. Mental ray does have its advantages though. I'm hoping my boss will come around... Do you work for a studio or do freelance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 It's looking good but I'd put some fill lights behind the camera so you can see inside the shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you work for a studio or do freelance? I think Mental Ray's great. It is a 'little' complicated, but I prefer the fine adjustments and settings. I tried Maxwell for a while, but felt like a fish out of water with the minimal setup. Maya can be just as quick to set up if you save out your custom presets/ settings. Oh, and I freelance.

mitchrichie Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 Found some time to work on this again... I added some light and made some other adjustments. I'm reasonably pleased with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
