3DMax Interior Design - Help

[shYUel]

Hello everyone!

 

I dont know how to begin this 'story'.. I am a 15 years old kid and I was about to start doing interiors in 3DMAX.. I was doing in PhotoShop 4-5 years, and I was coder.. Now a DJ in free time.. But my main career is to be Interior designer.

 

I am studying right now in Architecture secondary school and its going well.. So what I need?

 

Well, who wants to help me please give me links for good tutorials of interior design.. And I will post my renders, so you comment on them and I will be better designer I hope.

 

1. Right now, I am going to show you my scene that I did a couple weeks ago :

 

So yeah, everything is modeled by me (well its pretty simple), and I would like to finish that project (That's my room).. But I am wondering, the room is too small (4x4 meters) so I don't if I could catch the whole room with camera(s).

 

2. Now the second project, well this was a test actually, I started to make a room (6x4 meters) so the camera could catch a nice part of room.. But I have a problem..

 

 

As you can see this is a room with a teapot in the center (just for the test, shadows, reflections , etc..), but people look at the walls! It's really dirty, or whatever.. I don't know why that appears. These are the settings :

If you could help me with that too I would thank you..

Thanks and love ya guys

the darkness could be due to your lighting, GI, vrayphysicalcamera. An image that's dirty could be due to your rendering setting, if u search for vray tutorials on google, i'm sure there's tons of tutorials online that'll enlighten you.

 

as for you vray settings. I can give you a quick brief of what i usually do.

Thanks Vincent for helping me!

Well I can google, but you can tell me better like you do. Finally I have some results and I need some C&C.

This is not photoshoped scene.

 

And this is photoshoped

 

Ok guys, help me now. I am a good student, so I would love to learn with good teachers.

just some quick comments before i leave work.

 

I see that it took you an hour to finish the rendering, are you rendering a high res image? a normal resolution image (eg. 2000x1500) shouldn't even take that long to render a simple scene.

 

Lighting wise, you'd want to make sure viewers are able to differenciate where your wall and floor line connects. Try to look for some images of simple interior scenes online and recreate them, your skills will improve exponentially

Thank you Vincent, very kind of you

 

Well, yeah.. I will make a difference between the floor and walls by adding some parquet texture to floor. Well I'm rendering a high res image (I thought its gonna take more than 5-6 hours, but no).

 

I don't know how to put the lights and improve the mood, because the room is already too lighted out, but I will try with decreasing ISO and increase the Shutter Speed.

 

p.s Will edit this post and put the result after the render finishes.

 

Edit: Here's the result (but I don't like the mood, IDK how to improve it):

btw. The rendering was just 2 minutes.. Because I set lowered settings on this render..
