Architecture: Living_Room

[johan21]

cool.. i think it would benefit from more shininess and bump mapping to the floor in front left of the table, or perhaps more light cast from that side at any rate, like in the ref pic, to make it look like a mat. i thought they were funny looking thin floorboards at first.

great work with the materials.

[r3studios]

awesome work man! i love it.
you´d get some stars ;)

[jasonbowers]

Thats really nice work there.

I really like the ambience in the room and that leather sofa looks really cool

a.

Thanks for the nice comments guys.
johan21- you're right, some spec on the floor would help to show off the difference between the mat and floor.

[EdHarriss]

Nice work!


- I really like the couch seats, but the armrests look a little plastic.
- The items on the table look like they are floating a little.
- The area under the table is a little too dark.

[onlooker]

So good I need a wire to believe you. :) Looks like a composite 2/3 real 1/3 composted 3D. :applause:

[m.h]

Yes, show a wire!

How did you model the couch (wrinkles etc)? NURBS, Polys?

:applause:

[francescaluce]

the bump for the rattan is too sharp and stepped.. it creates some problem with aa.. specially for the pillows on the sofa.
there's some spotted overbrighted areas.. on the big cushion and on the lamp near the window.

overall, nice work.

Ok, now show us the render!

Very, very nicely done. 5 stars!

[roguenroll]

yeah great job, i like it.!!:)

[lukx]

do I smell VRay?

[HapZungLam]

it looks great enough. but the leather seats may have higher specular.

[idvah]

its very nice, the only problem I see is with the open magazine at the bottom. It just doesn't seem/look real.

[darcru]

Love that lighting......floor looks good, but even though the leather is great, there's something off. Maybe the specular like someone else suggested.

Awesome job!!

[Mananetwork]

I think the book and the rocks need some kind of a shadow. And if there is one, it's to faint

[Shinova]

I think the floor should look "dirtier" like in the ref pic. And the table needs a bit more light reflection on the bottom right, like in the ref pic.


But other than that, an average person probably won't be able to tell them apart. :)

[melek]

Excellent work, the only thing that i notice is on the windows.

On the first image (i.e. the ref image), the wall seems to be "straight", like 90 degrees relative to the floor, however yours seem to be a little tilted. If this was your intention, then its pretty cool, however the curtains seem to be "sticking" to the wall, instead of falling (and due to gravity be in 90 degrees relative to the floor).

Anyway, excellent work.

[J-Bird]

This is perfect. Funny thing is, i looked at the pictures first, thinking, "Geeze, that looks just like a Pottery Barn advert. I wonder if they could start using CG in their catalogs."!!!

Excellent job. Spot on!

[Profane]

...amazingly done.Nothing to say.Just an excellent lighting work...what renderer did you work with?(and what software?):drool: :drool: :drool:

[hesido]

The floor should have a subtle reflection creating specularity, then the table will block the specularity from the windows. It would look nicer I believe.

Very good work overall!

[Annuostivix]

I'll comment on the book

The only problems I saw:

that it looked sort of soft.

It looks as though it's one book. However, in the image it seems to be two. In your render, the piece of the book that sticks out a lot still looks like it flows into the spine of the main organized book. Do I make sense?

The piece that sticks out on the bottom of the book, as in the pages, are maybe supposed to be another book under the open one, but in yours it looks as though it's just a big awkward sticking out section of pages.

The whole render, including the book, is incredible though. You did an excellent job. :thumbsup:

[otacon]

Wow. I like this. Very nice lighting and texturing. You did a good job with the leather couch surface. I did some leather a while back so i know how hard it is to make, has a lot to do with the lighting. Congrats on the frontpage!:thumbsup:

[rsjrv99]

Whoa! Whoa! Wait! Which one is the reference image again? :thumbsup:

[Michael Chen]

If that was a 3D image then I couldn't tell the difference if it was real :eek:

[StefanA]

really good work. Something I always do to match a photo is to look up the contrasts of the dark and light values of the image.
I made this quick thing in photoshop which might help you (and me to describe what I mean) on the way of make it even more perfect.

Basicly it's about getting the noise in the dark areas to be better.

I hope that it will give you some more inspiration to push it even further.

Great work!

Really Really nice work. Especially the lights on the wall and the sofa. I like the sofa texture a lot.

[ambas]

looks realy great. i love the lighting

[Shaykai]

I don't get your sig, if anything i would think that would be a step forward for the community :-/ ....

[DesertKnight23]

Wow, front page, what an honor. Thanks for all the great comments guys!

EdHarriss- good point about the arms of the couch, I should add some minor wrinkles in there to break it up a little.

onlooker- I'm posting a wire at the start of the thread

m.h- I model in Polys pretty much everything I make

francescaluce- good points. It's the displacement on the pillows that needs to be tweeked a little to get rid of that sharpness. and yes, there are a few spots where it is blown out a little.

lukx- you smelt correctly, I did in fact use vray

HapZungLam- I think you are right, the leather could use a little more specular push.

idvah-i see what you mean- it might be just too evenly lit

Mananetwork-yea, i think that yellow is blowing the shadows away

Shinova- yea, you're right, but I mainly just wanted to get the overall feel.

J-Bird- heh, yea, pottery barn should start a 3d catalog.

Profane- I use Max and render with Vray

hesido- good call, the more people talk about the spec, the more I want to add it in, but it's done for now.

Annuostivix- yea, those are 2 open magazines on top of eachother.

otacon- Thanks, I appreciate it! Congrats to you as well, I remember seeing your images on the front page too.

StefanA- thanks for the comment! I mainly wanted a clean render that looked like the image, not nessarily a "photo" render. Thanks for showing me that though, i'll keep it in mind for the future.

VERY IMPRESSVE WORK MAN

[me_aaeem]

the atmosphere is nice_like the leather couch alot_but the texture on the table can see the repetition though plus the cut of of it at the edges looked akward_other than that excellent

[tomaa]

I like your work, nice leather couch....

and your wire, look cool to me...

nothing to critisize...

have you got more works?

would love to see them

[Raphael-Lacoste]

Very well reproduced, but couldn't you find a more interesting Subject?

just wondering :rolleyes:

[angel]

You know, it really amazes me how some users around here go above and beyond to look for faults on other peoples work instead of looking at work for what it is...

I guess there is a very fine, faint line between constructive critisism and PITA nitpicking:shrug:

I personally think you did a great job. Keep it up.

[cermit]

looks great

[foxco]

very nice lighting. i wish i could create mood with lighting :surprised

/fox

[DoLeeP]

Absolutely stunning work

[metallimonkey]

Thanks guys

me_aaeem- yes, it does reapeat there, good eye, but i don't think it is noticeable enough to take away fro the image. Thanks for the compliment.

tomaa- under the tin cactus section on my site is more architectural stuff.

El Rafo- I do all sorts of stuff that range in subjects, this is just what I wanted to do at the moment.

SNoWs- Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it. As for the nitpicking, it is expected whenever you post something, and some of it really helps, sometimes points out obvious stuff that is left out.

[tomaa]

and the URL?

can you send your adress? I quess this would please some other readers too, not only me...


keep it up

[metallimonkey]

tomaa, you can click the "web" tab in the posts to reach websites, but here it is www.monkeyhertz.com
