stylez Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 hey everyone, this is just a light test in Vray i did quickly. I'm trying to achieve close to photo realism... C & Cs are very welcome... NOTE: Some texturing still needs to be fixed and im sure the ighting needs to be adjusted too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Eloy Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Hey, Stylez! I think it's not clear where the light is coming from. You have to have in mind you have 2 light sources (so it seems): the ceiling and the windows. What you have here is a uniform lighting, and that takes depth away from the scene. Choose one source to be the main one (stronger) and give the scene a bit of contrast with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stylez Posted October 26, 2004 Author Share Posted October 26, 2004 O.K. Rick, I took your advice and made the outside light the main source, so here's an update... let me know what you all think, should I change anything else, add some things? anything? thnx in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelfoZ Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 the sofa seems modern and the table and chairs rustic... is the sun, a free point or direct ? seems like a free point. the background seems like a photo. i kknow is a photo.. but add more light the the back.. or more contrast ...

Ricardo Eloy Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I think it looks better, now. You have more contrast. One thing DelfoZ mentioned and I second that is that you're using a conic light source (free points or omnis are conic). Choose a paralel one (direct). Also, low the ceiling light's intensity a bit, to have a more dramatic look. You might want to move your camera a tad to the left, in order to take the chair away from the middle of the scene.

stylez Posted October 31, 2004 Author Share Posted October 31, 2004 ok everyone, heres a lil update... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Where did all that light come from in the last render? It's washing out the wall that has the sunlight coming thru it. Seems strange to me. If anything that wall would have less direct lighting on it because of the direction of your shadows. You should try exponential color mapping to get a handle on the bright spots. The whole scene seems overexposed to me now. The previous render lighting was much better in my opinion. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylez Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 Tony, i agree with you completely, when i rendered this image i rendered it over night, and that was the result of changing a few parameters, but i've redone it once more, and soon i will have an update that i think is much much better thnx again for all your C&Cs everyone!

bully712 Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I agree with Tony... What's going on with that shadow on the ceiling to the right? It looks funky... I would get rid of it in PS. It's a nice space overall.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylez Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 well after a few modifications, here's an update i think looks a lot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 The lighting is much improved in this one. The floor has to much bump applied with the high shine. Try glossy reflections instead. Your cabinets are not going to work. The doors are a part of the cabinet. I would also consider going back to the red apples, the green ones a not very realistic. I prefer the layout you have in this one. It just needs more work to look real. It looks like you spend alot of time at the evermotion site. All the furniture in your scene is from there.

stylez Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 hi tony The floor has to much bump applied with the high shine. i agree, i lowered it a bit, but im not sure i made it look much better Your cabinets are not going to work. The doors are a part of the cabinet. lol i completely missed that... guess ill have to fix that I would also consider going back to the red apples, the green ones a not very realistic. i dont know, i kind of like these ones better, maybe ill play around with the texture a bit though I prefer the layout you have in this one. It just needs more work to look real. It looks like you spend alot of time at the evermotion site. All the furniture in your scene is from there. well the point of this image was a lighting test with Vray, and since im not much of a modeler, i simply used the models found on the free stuff section on one of my favourite websites that has helped me in learning so much about 3D graphics, Evermotion. thnx again evfryone for all ur C&Cs, i really appreciate them...i wouldnt be able to have done this image without em thnx again - stylez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylez Posted November 4, 2004 Author Share Posted November 4, 2004 well here's the final image i guess. i dont think there's much more i could do to it, and the lighitng looks pretty good to me, so here it is; thnx again erveryone for all your C&Cs - Stylez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
