Non-photoreal interior

[alias_marks]

It's been a while since I've posted some work...and I'm having fun messing around with this one so I thought I'd post er up.

 

Rendered with Viz/Vray then composited and "character-ized" in pohotoshop. Any thoughts/comments welcome. Thanks for stopping in

I like it. But the peeps are taking too much attention, they are more visible than the design. Maybe losing that thick contour will help, imo.

agreed, I think you're right.

 

One of the "goals" for this one was to focus on the "serendipitous" meetings of business people in common business space, hence the prominent people. They also didn't want to focus too much on the design, as to make it feel like many possible tenants could lease the space....always a tough request in my opinion...

 

Thanks for the comment.

looks class really good job, can i ask what filters u used in ps if any?

 

great job

[alias_marks]

Tough kind of a tough one to answer, I really use lots of different filters at different capacities. here's what I can think of....

 

Soft Grain over everything as a last touch.

Photocopy filter to bring out an edge pass, that I turn into a multiply later

I probably used a gaussian blur over some parts.

I used the art history brush to "paint" some of the edges and soften sharp contrast edges a bit.

 

Some advice if you're looking at the filters: I would never use one filter as a broad "brush" across the whole image, It almost never works that well and always comes out looking "processed." Instead, take parts and pieces of the image that can use specific filters. Outlines on people, but a thinner outline filter for the rest of the image. Maybe only apply Grain non reflective or transparent surfaces, etc. Only add Gaussian blur to bright areas of the image, but not everything.

 

Thanks for the comment.

i like this style, and am actually working on one of my own... but this one works pretty well. second the comments about the people being the focus. i feel that one of the reasons is their heavy dark outlines, and the absence of any outlining anywhere else. maybe you could do a hidden line at super hi res, then multiply it and throw it over the top, messing with the transparency a bit. that could add a little definition to the edges, even if it just darkens them a little bit.
