Tron Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) Studio/Institution: Antoine DesjardinsGenre: Residential InteriorSoftware: 3DS Max - Mental Ray - PhotoshopDescription: Here's a WIP for a photomatch I've been working on. I was attracted to the soft lighting/materials in the photo so I tried to mimic it. The original photo will be posted shortly for comparison. The one Item I've been struggling with is making the couch's cushions more fluffy. If anyone knows a good way to make the cushions look more realistic, I'd appreciate the advice. C&C are welcome.

Tron Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Here's a scan of the reference photo.. As you can see, I still have quite a bit of entourage to model for this scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ismael Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Just a bump or displacement texture and seams for the fabric. Maybe half to a fourth 'lumpier'. Fine project, looking forwards to its progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AubreyM Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Nice lighting Antoine. For cushions I also like to use the relax modifier. Don't forget to use the ffd on the top of the cushion a little more. The throw pillows are great Better get some better book cover textures though I have a few squirreled away if you want some. You can find some good ones through Bing or Google as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
