Old City Hall WIP

[William Alexander]

Figured I post here and get some feedback.....

 

Modo model, textured/rendered in Max and MR. This is one frame of a 1/2 res HD format animation. Rendered in passes, diff,direct light, indirect light and shadow then composited. Trying to keep render times total for all passes under 6-8 minutes per frame. GI pass averaging about 4:20min per frame.

 

Setting is during a snow storm....not typical archviz lighting levels

 

Have at it, give me some feedback any and all is welcome

comming on nicely m8, the wip is a tab too grainy for my liking, but i'd love to see this scene in it's final setting

Grainy....hell ya. Now after looking very close it's the diffuse map arrgg. Thought I was blowing things out in comp using HSV offsets and mult layers nodes.

 

Used MR and saved as tga, 16 bit....any thoughts as to why that pass was so grainy?

...24 bit tga, much better....missed that in the settings

 

 

Well here it is in it's 'intended' setting. Next step is work on a full res ani or stills...without the snow LOL

A couple of in progress images and one for Strat...matte work on the surrounding buildings was done in...yes...C4D

 

Not a "true" archviz project in the traditional sense here is this forum...but thought it might be interesting to some to see one little part of a greater collaboration and some of what this thing called the pixel corps is about

 

Cheers
