Tommy Burns Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi all I haven't posted anything in a while and like many others I lost the job and am trying to update the portfolio. I never really did many interiors in the previous job and I was looking to you guys for some c+c's on this one. It was modeled using Max design, rendered with mental ray and some post in PS. Looking forward to any comments on how to better this one! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerdream Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Looking good. In my best GW voice "your columns have gone nuclear." I think the photo could use to be burned out some more and the light against the cols. and floor turned down. A little more detail in the ceiling would help too.

Tommy Burns Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Thanks for the comments Robert very helpful I've toned down the light the sun intensity was a bit high for the exposure that I was using I'd say. Another lesson learned . About the detail on the ceiling do you guys think it would be worth putting some spots up there? Also is the lighting, textures, background, mood etc. acceptable? Would I need to add anything else in there? Thanks in advance Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerdream Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Better, could still be adjusted to the background - that image looks dark compared to the intensity of the sun. Also, notice your far right side column and the tilt against the vertical back drop. You need to square up the camera to make sure all vertical lines are umm vertical.

innerdream Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 You're welcome. It looks to me that the camera is tilted up slightly to get more of the ceiling? Your background image and camera are not square to each other still. You can drop the background image in as a layer in photoshop and adjust the angles to match the camera tilt or square up the camera in the vertical plane. It's still out. The down lights helped.

mattclinch Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 the perspective of the background in no way matches the camera perspective - different vanishing points, a sloping bridge etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horhe Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Over exposing the exterior a bit woild help it look less like a poster and more like the exterior it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Burns Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Thanks Guys That background image is on a plane in the scene as I wanted to get the reflection in the glass to show. Would I be better off rendering out a separate reflection pass and then put the image in with photoshop (alpha) so I get a better alignment. That bridge Matt is a humped back bridge not just flat.

craigball Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 where did you get the floor map it looks class! nice times!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezkapist Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 hi, the ceiling lights (spot lights) look on but they are not lighting much, maybe up the intensity or post process the glow but they look too flat. Also fix up the ceiling (main artifical light source) as the light brightens a lot of it you can actually see the geometry and its lack of polys ( top right )but maybe its just me.. there are a few ideas overall nice work keep it up. b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right about the ceiling too but it's more of a case of bad photoshop masking than poly's This was only a portfolio project but your points are taken on board for the next one.

landrvr1 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Looking great. I just have some interior architecture/furniture comments: The room is really a tad too big. Even though that's a fairly large conf table and chair arrangement (16 chairs!), there's a lot of empty space on the sides. This makes the table seem smaller than it actually is. From a composition standpoint, it becomes awkward. From a real world space planning standpoint, very few clients have the luxury of that much open space - even those with some money to burn. heh. Many folks will place a row of extra seating if there's room (for those really BIG meetings, haha). One thing you could do is move the camera ever so slightly to fully center the table and chairs in your shot - making it the absolute focal point of the comp. Those chairs are cool, but odds are they would use seating that had casters on them. Lastly, the two LCD screens in a room of that size are too small. In a room like this, I'd think about showing a large single screen (that would probably incorporate a rear projection room). Just some thoughts.

Tommy Burns Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks for all that Scott! They are all great tips. I never really thought about the size and space of the room probably because it was just made up in my head. Very helpfull tips though if I was to do a real interior. The reason for the two plasma's was that one could be used for presentation ie. connected to a pc or laptop and the other could be used for video conferencing at the same time. I suppose I could make them bigger though then you would have 3 images to comment on. Cheers Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Erstad Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks for sharing. I think the previous Scott is onto something here. Set dressing is important to interior designers, and that is who this image would be supportive of if it wre an actual project. I suggest a couple floor plants by that glass, and some sort of furniture along the opposite wall from the glass that we do not see, with perhaps some art or books there. I might also place another narrow peice of furniture at the monitor / display wall. Good luck, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in a room that size you would still probably want to have two projection screens on that wall instead of LCDs. Or at least a couple of 60" diagonal LCDs. Think about it this way: if someone is showing an Excel or Powerpoint, the chairs at the far end of your table wouldn't be able to make out any detail. There's a few sites with some great screen size info. Here's a handy one that's pretty easy to follow: http://www.christiedigital.com/AMEN/TechnologyExplained/TheRoom/ScreenSize.htm They also say a 60" screen is the way to go with a room of 12 chairs or so... Sorry to be so detailed, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
