Christopher Nichols Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 I'm not a big corbu fan... I mean I like his work... but it was really an experiment. Anyway, this is one frame of a little piece I'm working on. I was thinking about the bris-soleils on the millowners building and thought how cool the GI on that would be. So I started with that, then I started taking pieces of other corb work. The piece will be animated with the camera moving and the sun moving. There is only one light source in the this image... the sun. I will add some dusty particle stuff and maybe some volumetric lighting as the sun makes it through the bris-soleil... tell me what you think.... BTW the little spotches near the joins are not artifacts... I painted those in to look more realistic... it is supposed to look like a dirty edge.

matt_vinoir Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Nit picking really but this period of his work wouldn't see those chairs init would it? I don't know this building, it looks quite a lot like ronchamp. The floor is a bit shiny also but i like it, lovely feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Nichols Posted August 23, 2002 Author Share Posted August 23, 2002 Well it isn't really isn't any one piece...I stole the stair idea from villa savoy, and wall from ronchamp, and the bris-soleil from millowners... nothing is the way it should be, so I guess it would be and orignal design... or a really heavy rip off of corbu. I see what you mean by the chairs... I was looking at my library and trying to come up with some ideas of furniture that would work... since it was a corbu inspired space, I tried some corbu chairs... I was thinking of using the plywood chair from Eames... I'm still going to work on the floor, but I still like the reflectivity, it just needs more tweaking and more texturing. thanks for the comments....

nisus Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 is that neo-post-modernism? or just a remix-sample-corbu? looks fine and funny nisus [ August 23, 2002, 12:47 PM: Message edited by: nisus ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mohinder Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 That looks pretty cool. What software are you using? Looks very much like lightscape, except those textures help reduce that usual glossy finish the render produces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Nichols Posted August 26, 2002 Author Share Posted August 26, 2002 Using Vray as the rendering engine... Really trying some of the features that the new 1.09 version has to offer... The advantage that it offers over lightscape for this, is the fact that the sun will be moving in the animation so the light will change as it comes through the bris soleil.

mbr Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 Beautiful image. I would love to see the animation. Question: if you used fR, do you like VRAY better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Nichols Posted September 9, 2002 Author Share Posted September 9, 2002 Originally posted by mbr: Beautiful image. I would love to see the animation. Question: if you used fR, do you like VRAY better?Absolutely... for two main reason... the speed and the speed. The first speed is the amount of time it takes to set up a scene (turn on GI, use the setting you like, which is the same for most scenes). The second speed is rendering... with the settings turn up all the way on the GI and the raytracing, I am getting 16 mins a frame for the animation. With fR it usually took a long time to set up a scene and test renders took forever. I can turn down the settings in Vray and get 90% of what the image will be in 2 mins. As far as quality is concerned... I think all of them are the same. Besides quality is my responsibility, not the rendering engine. I’m still tweaking the animation... it is almost done.
