hidalgoserra Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Hi to all, i have a techinicall question...im trying to recreate a feeling like this http://www.3dcenter.ru/gallery/details.php?image_id=1128 but even trying i cannot reach this kind of "flourescent light" effect, i mean the overall look of the scene someone can point me in any direction? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisHolland Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I can not be much of a help or know a straight answer here, but isn't it just a matter of finetuning your GI and have it adjusted afterwards in PS? Isn't a fluorescent look just a matter of tweaking your curves/levels? If not, I like to know as well what to do to achieve this cripsy-clean look. Maybe up/down your black/white multiplier? (without PS).... Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidalgoserra Posted September 20, 2005 Author Share Posted September 20, 2005 hi man! im shure is not only a matter of "tweaking" in photoshop, its about the tyoe og light, ive try with the vray light and they are illuminating the scene in a different way, the visarty scene is more like a neon behind something, seems that light touch everything more like was doing in lightscape, and i dont know if ies are involved in the procdures, but for shure there is a big light on the ceiling, which type is the question...

DennisHolland Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Yes Hidalgo, The way you describe the possible big lightplane somewhere in the middle of the room. I did a similar technique, if it is a technique at all by having two lightplanes (length/width as large as the entire room) on top of eachother, facing up and downwards. Had a very low multiplier (lightblue, almost white)and shadows turned off. It is a bit 'tonemapping' style but it is exactely the same as you've said. But again, I'm still convinced that this effect can be achieved with Photoshop, no offence man Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidalgoserra Posted September 20, 2005 Author Share Posted September 20, 2005 no offense man i think that your tecnique cannot work anyway for what is my porpouse, vray light material dont cast clean and net shadows, instead they give for shure more soft look, but even in that case in my opinion this effects is not obtain by directly illuminating an object, instead i have try... putting four vray light on each wall of the room (on the ceiling of course), turn at something like 20 degres facing each front wall, the light bounce everywhere litting all the room indirectly but smothing the light and the obects in a way similar to the one i want...

JamesTaylor Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 http://www.cgarchitect.com/vb/showthread.php?t=12321 link is to recent image of mine. the neon type glow was created by placing a piece of geometry in the scene and then adding a vray light material to it. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesTaylor Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 i think the best solution to your problem would be to post an sample image of how far you have got with your rendering and then ask for advice on specific areas of that image. there will be a hundred and one ways of setting up a scene, so have ago and let us see where your having problems, then we can give clearer advice James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidalgoserra Posted September 20, 2005 Author Share Posted September 20, 2005 well..ive not really problem in a specific area, but everything is about mood..i mean looking at the image you've seen, im trying to replicate that mood, and i think that your right with the fact that you can find 1000 ways of doing it, i think we can start with one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTaylor Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 it seems that your asking a very open ended question. almost saying "how do i create a top notch render?" this is a very difficult question to answer, if not impossible. the only way we can help you create top renderings is if we can see your work in progress and then comment on things that we notice, and maybe give suggestions as to how improvements could be made. hopefully this way and with experience every render you do should become better and better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecastillor Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 mmmmmmm. we are in trouble....if Hidalgo doesnt know how to do it...I dont know who will....He's just about one of the best render artists around nowadays... Would love to see your final result Hidalgo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
