Marius Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Hi, I have been doing this architectual visualisation of a domestic property for a friend of mine. Modeling texturing and rendering is all fine, except for the windows. The problem is that I need to put something in the windows. I can make the glass very reflective, but that just looks fake, but if I don't, the windows are all dark holes with no life. What do you guys do? Thanks Marius 3ds Max btw.

STRAT Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 what kind of job is it? why not just model internally too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 You MUST put glass in the windows. They can be just slightly transparent with a subtle, large scale bump. Keep reflection quite subtle too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 Hi. Thanks for the quick replies. The interior is not important for the visualisation at this point. I have glass in the frames, but I am trying to avoid the empty lifeless spooky house rendering I have now. Do you guys model in curtains or blinds etc? Thanks.

STRAT Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 why not put an invisible skydome in for the glass to reflect? thats what i normally do. but yes, if the elevation is in shadow you'll need something inside to show there's life there. blinds or drapes are fine.

Marius Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 Thanks, yes, I just put a bitmap in the windowglass enviroment map which amounts to close on the same thing. You nailed the problem about the shadowed elevation. Busy modeling blinds and curtains now. Thanks again, Marius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHalton Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 This is what I do... Too add a little life I use a light shining to the celing pointing to the wall which is visable. (Not shown on attatched). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
