prashobh Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Hi, I am a 3d visualizer in an office interior company, I'm using Max 11 and vray adv. 1.5 sp5.... While I render interior scene with opening and natural light (SunLight , Vr.sky or Sky portal& normal cam ), it looks better.... but I couldn't make a better image of closed rooms...... most of my works are manager rooms, work stations etc.... In such rooms I use, 1 Vray plain from the top (int. multip - 1.5) 1 plane from the same angle of the camera. & normal camera( gamma 2.2) I got some tutorials from net... but all are with good openings and natural light.. I would like to improve my output. Please help me.... Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notamondayfan Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Think about how many lights a professional photographer would use to light such spaces. Do you think they would just turn on the ceiling lights, use the camera flash, and say "job done"? Find interesting examples if how it's been done in traditional photography, break it down, and emulate in 3D. Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyRamsay Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Agree with the statement above, light your room artificially as it would be lit in reality. Are the light sources down-lights? If so you could look for tutorials on Photometric Lights. Part of these lights rely on using an Photometric Web file, you can download everything from a lighting website called Erco. With everything in place it will give you exactly the effect you would get if you bought that particular light and fitted it in your room. It's a professional lighting designers site and pretty advanced stuff but if you can find the 'Download' section you should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notamondayfan Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 light your room artificially as it would be lit in reality. This isn't what I was saying, rather the opposite.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francisco Penaloza Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Your starting point should be always, read the electrical plan of your room and place V-Ray light in all the light fixtures showed on the plan. If you have intensity specs for the light equipment you should try to follow those, to start at least. Then place V-Ray camera and adjust the exposure until you get a decent lighting. If you feel that your room is still dark or the lighting is not pleasant then you can start to use fill in lights, this can be V-Ray plane lights or sphere lights to create accents. Place only one big V-Ray light under the ceiling does not make seance unless it is a 4'x4' space and it is lit only by 2x4 fluorescent light equipment.

heni30 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Why don't you upload some of your typical renderings so that we can see where improvements are needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heni30 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Hi Prashobh, Here are some quick rough improvements done in Photoshop. You need to look at many interior design magazines to see how furniture, lights and accessories are placed. Things like the 2 black chairs being too big and facing each - awkward; the plant is timid and too centered; there are no base boards; horse sculptures are too isolated, etc. Light and light effects are missing - especially in the managers office. The long space looked much better but the floor seemed flat and lifeless. 3 things will bring your spaces to life: Light, light and light.
