Ky Lane Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Have been wroking on an interesting little job (again, with thanks to Justin). Its an apartment looking in from the outside, at night. Been a bit of a challenge getting the lighting to feel right, and added a dropdown lamp as an experiment. Im waiting to hear from the client with a style guide for the furnishings, but thought Id as others opinions while I wait.. Its all Max+MR and no post yet (obviously).

jameson101 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Looks good Ky, Its going to look realy beautiful when the furniture inside.Your lighting is good. What are you going to do for the surroundings of the Flat? I know you havent done it yet but it seems like its going to be a challage to get something that wont ruin your image if you know what I mean.

SandmanNinja Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Nice scene Ky. What about a background? Unless it's in the middle of the Bush, there should be some sort of lighting outside: city skyline, street light casting a bit of light onto the sides of the flat, the moon, etc. What rooms are shown in this view? It's very nice - looking forward to more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ky Lane Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 Client is supplying a night shot for the BG. Will just be city lights. Rooms are a combines living/ktchen/dining/entertainment. I did a bit more work that whats there, so it looks somewhat diff - Ill post something Monday - hopefully Ill have the furniture style guide.

SandmanNinja Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 It continues to amaze me how much better a house looks with furniture. Very nice job, mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ky Lane Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 It continues to amaze me how much better a house looks with furniture. Very nice job, mate! Cheers Joel. Still polishing everything before rending it out (somehow) to fit a 4m x 12m sign, and the obvious post work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ky Lane Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Progress report.. Still waiting on some minor details... but we're nearly done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horhe Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Perphaps the 3 piece paintings could be desaturated, everything has a nice uniform colour and then youve got some hippy stuff going on there in the middle of the rendering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ky Lane Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Client liked it that saturated... the scene was starting to look a little washed out, which I agreed with. However, Im sourcing new art anyway which is more "feminine". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfured20 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 looking sweet... when you get around the the background, you might want to add the units above and below this flat... not in color, but maybe as a black outline against the sky, with just a hint of reflection from the city lights off of chrome handrails at their edges. just a thought...

shaneis Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 It's looking really good Ky. I'd just check the refrigerator material - I'm sure it's correct but under that lighting it renders very near the same hues as the wall surface to it's immediate left and starts to look like a doorway. Maybe something like the example below would help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, thats what I wanted; client however just wants it floating. I wanted to replicate the 2 levels above and below and just make the windows super reflective, but this is going on a hoarding sign so they want it on its own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ky Lane Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Ok, heres one for ya's. Client wants an image 20,000x6000 pixels... possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyElNino Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Looking really good, I can imagine it looking great on a massive hoarding... A couple of things, have you considered having your spotlights picking up the canvas art specifically/centrally? I liked the old artwork but I suppose the client called in a veto and having the TV on before was cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Ok, heres one for ya's. Client wants an image 20,000x6000 pixels... possible? absolutely, but i'd be inclined to render it in 5 or 6 separate parts using the letter-box method, then comp then together in photoshop. the total render time should remain the same as if you're rendering the model as a whole, but splitting it up into small parts will certainly be A LOT kinder to your processors. doing it this way dont forget to pre-cache your gi solutions so all images render with the same gi.

SandmanNinja Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Good point, Nic! I'm trying that Split Render script out right now. Ky - great scene. Very inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ky Lane Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) make sure your texture res is going to hold up being rendered at that size! I know its not, but... I cant help thinking... 300dpi.. thats like "in your hands looking like a photo" resolution. Something tells me, the client (a "traditional print agency" is being lazy and just asking for 300dpi when we all know 150 or even less will do.
