ryu00 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) hi, i've been working on an interior render using vray, and would like some feedback on improving the overall feel of the scene. also any notable problems with the realism that stand out, and i will attempt to correct them. i know it's a little dark inside, but that was the feel i was going for. thanks in advance.

Dave Buckley Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 what about gamma setting in the colour mapping controls??? did you leave that at 1?? also gamma settings in the max prefernces dialogue?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryu00 Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 yes gamma was left default of 1.0 for both. however i did increase both the brightness and the contrast just slightly in photoshop whilst i was resizing and reducing the file size of the image.

mattclinch Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 things that immediately hit me - your exterior photography is a winterwonderland scene, so i would expect a lower sun angle, and bluer, colder ambient light. atm the scene feels too warm. also the exposure of the exterior needs to be upped considerably. looks like you are looking through tinted glass at it.

Dave Buckley Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 i was thinkin the exterior needs to be blown out a lot more if the interior exposure is correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryu00 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 oki guys cheerz for the comments ill have a go at tweaking it soon. i got side tracked with another interior, what do u think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelfoZ Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 the left and right speakers looks like they are floating. no shadow and no reflections ? maybe is the angle, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manta Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 the left and right speakers looks like they are floating. no shadow and no reflections ? maybe is the angle, They're not floating...they're standing, like the ones in the background...

andstef Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hello Rich first fo all: the speackers, the ones on the left and right... they have augful thick cables...and they look like they are floating (no reflections or shadows) the lighting seems ok about the design I don't think that is the best solution, for example, the left speaker in tre background is sitting very close to the door and it looks outofplace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andstef Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 ...and for the first picture.... I think you should try a different camera angle, the image has no subject (for example in the second image the tv table and sofa were the jubject), and I have to agree with Dave B. , the exterior should be blown out for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Burns Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hello Rich first fo all: the speackers, the ones on the left and right... they have augful thick cables...and they look like they are floating (no reflections or shadows) I'll answer this one cos it got me as well. Those speakers are on stands and not on the floor. Those cables are the actual stands it's an illusion and a good one at that. Nice work. Think you should lower the camera view it is confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryu00 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 hehe, really appreciate the crits.. a few guys have answered the speaker situation. they look like they are floating in the air, because they are actually in the air attached to metal stands (no cables in sight!). im no photographer so my composition might not be the best, but ive not really been concentrating on these rules and i am just trying to improve my rendering and realism abilities, i guess the two do come hand in hand at times. as for the speaker distribution, maybe the layout isnt perfect but imperfection is more realistic? maybe you move into a new house and everything doesnt fit as preferred. the problem with the 1st image is, theres nothing else modelled so a new camera position to have a more predominant subject is kinda tricky. is everybody suggesting the background image needs brightening up? i cant seem to improve this, ive got the image as a vraylight mat, and increasing this doesnt seem to do anything. changing this to just a vraymat bitmap and increasing the output makes the colours and definition of the picture a little poor, (maybe the image used isnt ideal) any suggestions? oh and maybe it is just tinted glass? hehe anyway ive made the colours a little colder as to match the scene setting, render coming soon.

andstef Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Thomas enlightened me... now I see those aren't cables, but the stands, now I feel silly. Sorry Rich... About the composition... I was saying that some of the "not so photoreal elements" can be overlooked if you have a good overall composition, and your attention is drawn somewhere else. I think this winter scene will turn out good, try adding a bush with snow on it closer to the window (like the ones in the evermotion tutorial http://evermotion.org/index.php?unfold_exclusive=270&unfold=exclusive , it will contribute to the realism ). good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryu00 Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 thanks for the suggestion andstef. i attempted to do exactly that but the particle system just kept crashing my 3ds max, even with 10% in viewport and i got sick of trying to get a result that would look decent. id have like to cover the balcony bit in snow too, but in the end i gave up and added an ies light and a wall design. also moved the plant in an attempt to balance the image.
