Description:

Hi,

 

i´m new to Max and new to this forum, i usually hang out on another one, but since you can´t have enough feedback...

 

I´ve done this interior as an exercise, training myself in max on the fly.

Its actually my best friends kitchen and he was thinking of putting a wall between the entrance and the kitchen area because he has to invite clients to his studio upstairs and didn´t want them to stand in the kitchen as they enter...

Anyway, i said i´d do a Pre-Viz as an exercise.

That was quite a while ago and he already decided against the extra-wall, but i wanted to finish it anyways.

So, here it is. There are still 2-3 things missing, i´m still not content with the curtains, and maybe some flowers would be nice aswell...but my vacations are ahead and so i gotta stop anyways.

 

I did all modeling in 3DS Max 2012 and rendered with Mental Ray.

Draft Settings on FG and GI, Medium to high Sampling Qualitiy.

No post-work yet.

 

Feedback and comments very welcome!

And a quick nightshot i did last evening:

Couple of things i already know that need tuning:

1. Backgrounds: Missing, perspective-mismatch, color correction, align daylight system.

2. UVW-Mapping off on the curtain (stripes distorted).

3. Curtain material needs finetuning. Again.

4. Light balancing on the nightshot. Still having trouble with the hundreds of unsorted IES-profiles i downloaded...

Haven´t really been working on this for a while now, but i did a couple of nightshots after this post, so here they are.

Still no postproduction and the curtain still got those messed up UVs...

Hi,

Maybe you could work on illumination coming from an upstairs window to add a bit more warmth to

your scene. That blue upstairs could be causing some of this colder feel to the scene.

maybe bump up the glossy reflections and look at the diffuse used on the wood materials used - materials appearing very dull.

 

I like the position of the camera - I guess if you keep working on it you have the makings of a good scene.

Hi,

 

and thanks for the feedback!

Well, there actually is a window upstairs. Somehow only the Skylight seems to come through though, gotta fiddle around with the daylight system i guess...

I think i got the flooring close to the reference, you can see that better from an other angle:

I think you´re right about the wood from the built-in cabinets though.

Thanks! Right now i got some other projects to work on, i´ll come back to it later, once i can start compiling things for my portfolio.
