Architecture: Interiors Panoramas

[EdHarriss]

- Nice work!
- The rooms seem a bit empty, but then again that's the way I like it. (My house is the same way.)
- The view outside the window in the bedroom.mov seems a little too dark for the lighting in the room
- The bathroom scene looks a little too clean.
- I really like the fact that you put them into QTVRs.

[ddaniels]

hey, very nice work it all looks great except for the sink drain in the batroom. It makes the sink look like unfinished cg to me.

[elqui]

great work there, absolutely love the use of qtvr (wish there was more use of it out there) & the lighting is fantastic
like the little touches like the half open door in the living room, though the corner with the white door and bright white windows looks a little sparse (imho)
the tiling in the bathroom is really good too
really inspirational work!

PS- btw, do you know of any good guides to getting started with qtvr? - thanks

[FranSaa]

Me gusta mucho la iluminación, y la presentación de los renders en QTVR. "Very inspirational" como dicen éstos... :cool:
Un saludo,
f.

[retrovision]

Awesome work! My only complaint is the bathroom looks a bit dull.

[antongranik]

Very cooooool! I'm doing an architecture as well right now. Can you tell me a bit about your lighting? Spots? Area lights? Shadow maps? FG? GI? What did you use? Very, very realistic and stylish!!!

[Brent Turbo]

The repetition in the bathroom tiles is so distracting, that I can't enjoy an otherwise good piece.

[Rivendale]

Nice work, but I was expecting to see my reflection in the bathroom mirror.;)
I really like these quicktime turnarounds, and the size is so small too. Keep up the good work.

[Orkman]

Sweet! I have never seen a full 3d VRML before. always kinda stuck in the middle.

cool!

[TKelley]

Fantastic designs and your lighting is great. I would like to also request a tutorial, or a link to a faq on how to setup the QTVR. Again, great work.

[jasonbowers]

Lovin' the minimalist vibe. :bowdown:

Also really like the fact you made these into QTVR's too.

a.

[Turboff]

Cool dude, and awesome lighting.

[HolgerL]

Good work! The lighting is incredible. Is everything (except the view in the windows) CG?

[JoseLuis3D]

what software did you use for the vr creation?
Mola mucho!!!!

[Tut Ankh Amon]

DAMN!
impressive work there man!
For the first time in my life i actually forgot for a second something i was looking at was CG, your choice to put it in QTVR was a good one

[octopus77]

HI, Hola

English:

I really love your work, Would like to join the request of others and ask you to sheare the thecnic needed to achieve this kind of VR, please.

Now the same but in spanish:

Me encanta tu trabajo, por vafor me gustaría sumarme a la petición de los otros colegas, y pedirte que compartas las técnicas para lograr esta clase de representación.

BTW you are using Vray don´t you?

Pablo

[pearl3d]

very nice work :bowdown:

maybe panorama factory or Quicktime VR probably

[MrEnigma]

very impressive work

[Samran]

Very nice work :thumbsup:

Can you tell my the step to make render like this +

Please please please :rolleyes:

[jcjimenez]

First of all, thx a lot because of your replies. Here is the requested tutorial for everybody.

Making panoramas with 3d software (Sections 1-4 3ds max specific; Sections 5-N general) using GoCubic. I've included the software to download. GoCubic and CubicVR (script for making it easier with 3ds max).

Steps:

1. Set up your scene (for the tutorial I've made a sample scene like this).

http://www.render3d.net/foros/tutorial-panorama/01.jpg


2. Put a camera in the scene (usually in the center but not necessary). Don't care about the fov of the camera.

http://www.render3d.net/foros/tutorial-panorama/02.jpg


3. It's very important to set up the aspect ratio of the image with 1:1. Don't care about the resolution, only care about the Image Aspect = 1.0

http://www.render3d.net/foros/tutorial-panorama/03.jpg


4. Run the CubicVR script (http://plugins.angstraum.at/cubicvr/index.htm)
4.1. Pick the camera
4.2. Set the output folder
4.3. Set the resolution
4.4. Render!!!

http://www.render3d.net/foros/tutorial-panorama/04.jpg


5. Now, we have 6 images (six 90º FOV images made from the same point but pointing at the center of the faces of an imaginary cube that rounds the scene.

http://www.render3d.net/foros/tutorial-panorama/Camera01_1.jpg http://www.render3d.net/foros/tutorial-panorama/Camera01_2.jpg http://www.render3d.net/foros/tutorial-panorama/Camera01_3.jpg
http://www.render3d.net/foros/tutorial-panorama/Camera01_4.jpg http://www.render3d.net/foros/tutorial-panorama/Camera01_5.jpg http://www.render3d.net/foros/tutorial-panorama/Camera01_6.jpg

You don't need CubicVR to generate the images. Just make the renders manually with a configuration like this:

Example:
Source Target
[0,0,0] [1,0,0]
[0,0,0] [0,1,0]
[0,0,0] [0,0,1]
[0,0,0] [-1,0,0]
[0,0,0] [0,-1,0]
[0,0,0] [0,0,-1]

6. Launch GoCubic (http://www.render3d.net/foros/tutorial-panorama/GoCubic.exe)

http://www.render3d.net/foros/tutorial-panorama/05.jpg

6.1. File -> New (Yes, It sounds stupid, but if you don't make this before the next step you'll never get your panorama :P).
6.2. Make Pano -> Make Pano Movie (with Cubic checked).
6.3. Select an image of the images sequence.
6.4. Choose the name of the .mov et voilá!!!

[rickycox]

Thanks for the tutorial. The CubicVRs look great. I've made standard QTVRs before on a Mac, just wonderring if there's any options for creating Cubic QTVRs on Mac?

[sapienz]

This tutorial has been very helpful and the rendering used in the qt was quite impressive

[andy_maxman]

hey pal...i like the look and feel.......its nice and soft.........wish more and more architects use this technology and make life easier.....
cheers!!!!

[Dmon]

Nice!!

yet, rooms are rather empty, you can add more props, telling that someone does live there :)

The lighting is Awsome...

[ty19345]

very professional~ thanks for sharing the tutorial...

:)

[TKelley]

Thank you very much for the tutorial :)

[Saikin]

simply amazing. I onyl have to say that the rooms are too empty for my liking. But that's why I didn't make it

[Juzz]

Looking good, looking good.

Only crit I got is about the black hole in the sink in the bathroom.

[Abe_killer]

is there any script for maya doing the same thing as your script for max?

[jcjimenez]

I don't know, but It's not very ugly to set the camera manually for the six renders.

I don't think anyway that programming the script in mel could be difficult. You better ask in the Maya section of the forums.

Regards,
Juan Carlos Jiménez

[brammelo]

Thanks for the tutorial and the great examples, mate :)

I've always been annoyed with the standard cylindrical pano's you can make with most 3Dsoftware. Your cubic ones are a real solution to a couple of my problems. Let's hope I can get this to work with C4D (shouldn't be a problem actually, but you never know)

Cheers,
BaRa

[jcjimenez]

If you don't move the source of the camera, set up properly the target for the six renders and keep the 1:1 aspect ratio, there will be no problem.

Regards,
Juan Carlos Jiménez

[octopus77]

Thank you very much for the time you have spend by doing this tut. it was very very helpfull man.


Thank you!!!!!!

[elqui]

Thanks for that tutorial, very useful indeed, going to have go making some of these now :thumbsup: cheers!

[jcjimenez]

If you are interested in the lighting settings of the renders, here it is the bedroom test scene with the parameters.

I don't use photon mapping, the render time for this test was 1min 44sg.

Except for the bathroom (in which I used area lights for the windows) here I only use skylight + directlight for sun (no aditional lights nor area lights for the windows) with 2.0 for the first bounces, 1.0 for the secondary bounces, 10-15 secondary bounces depth and exponential for the color mapping with dark multiplier set to 4.0 and bright multiplier set to 1.0.

Here is a test render and the samplescene.max (http://www.render3d.net/foros/samplescene.max)

[alexyork]

absolutely stunning work - and the qtvr was a really nice idea.

[storman]

Do you know how to make model rotation in Quik Time? If you know, please tell!

[mtmckinley]

Very nice work. :)

I couldn't help but notice the lack of light switches and outlets. Very good otherwise, though. Nice tutorial!

[Ødb]

Waaah, very impressive. Great work. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge :thumbsup:

[aYs]

I use GoCubic to create cylindrical and cubic panoramas.
It's a free and tiny tool to create QTVRs with any 3D program, as long as you render your images with the correct aspect ratio

Unfortunately I can't find a working download link anymore.
Don't know what happened.

In case it helps, there was a link posted to gocubic.exe on one of the previous pages, obviously only a windows version (don't know about mac)
anyway, djshivan posted it in his tutorial:-

[aYs]

sorry, I just saw the CubicVR for max

ok, I've never been here ;)

[BESTrin]

These are some beaughtifull architextural renderings just superb modern simple design (like i like) great job. And thanks for sharing great tuts. Even though i dont use max the cubic qtvr is intriguing (better results). Thanks for sharing.

When you gt it to work in c4d would you post in c4d forum. Thanks in advance.

[plastic]

it's nice to see my cubicVR script in use, but you should rather link to the original location of the full package. in case i have to update it, things will get messy if there are different versions of the script floating around the net.

here is it:

[FluKe73]

Just wonderfull tutorial and your QTVR images are just beautifull! I love the subtle reflections of the radiator on the floor. I have modeled an appartment for this site http://www.boim3.nu - I will reopen this project and try doing QTVR-files and refine the lightning. :-)

Looking forward to see more work from you when your site is up - when is it due?

[elnady]

Great job:thumbsup:

[swarding]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! Your 3D work is amazing, btw. Thanks for sharing!! :)

[luhna]

A M A Z I N G W O R K :thumbsup: ... THX for all:applause:!!!

Only a question...the script Cubic VR work with max6 and VRay?

[plastic]

luhna,

yeah it should...if not drop me a line and i'll fix it...

[siye]

good!!:thumbsup: ...........

[jcjimenez]

for plastic: sorry about this (the url). I've made it just for writing it faster. I have corrected the url. sorry again.

by the way. CubicVR works with 3ds max 6 and vray. In fact works with every 3ds max render.

For the questions about my web site... I'm currently working on it. I would like to finish it earlier, but I'm very busy with my current job. As soon as I finish it I'll talk to you.

regards,
Juan Carlos Jiménez

[jcjimenez]

hey, don't forget I need more works as a freelance!!! :D hehehe.

[luhna]

THX ...... :thumbsup:

[Gluteus Maximus]

Hey, this is pretty cool, just remember if you dont have the quicktime authoring files to restart before it will work when you get them :).
I got a little iritated in the time before I worked that out.
Made this out of something I'm currently screwing around with.

http://members.optusnet.com.au/drturbo/3d/Random/train.mov

Cheers djshivan, Like I said, this is pretty darn cool, any idea on how to make those ones where you click on things and it takes you to another one?
Ive seen them before on sites, that would be really cool to be able to do.

[jcjimenez]

If you want to include links in your panoramas to completely browse through a panoramas set, you must to use any software of authoring more complete. For example QuickTime VR Authoring Studio

Bonitos...oppssss Goods interior panoramas, they´re really worked...I´ll looking for the script Cubic VR.
Hehe i wanna a freelance work too... the crisis, whats crisis? :shrug:

no problem, thanks for changing it.
i think i'll place a link to this thread from my site. let me know when your site is finished if you want a link to your gallery too.

another way is realviz stitcher. it also runs on windows. i considered supporting stitcher directly through the script, using its batch mode, but i'm not sure how many people are owning stitcher.

http://www.realviz.com/products/st/index.php


i'd also love to code something for objectVR creation (moving around the object), but i didn't find a free compiling tool for objectVR's...at least not on the windows platform. flash might be an option, i will think about it.

[jcjimenez]

thx a lot for the links.

It would be very interesting to have a freeware vr author ;)

Juan Carlos Jiménez

[foxco]

simply amazing, i thought it was real for a second. Great work, no crits, and i love the QT panoram

/fox

[CarlCampbell]

Really incredible! This is a great little detail to use for showcasing architecture and cg environments in general! It really gets annoying sometimes when you can't actually appreciate great spaces with a couple of screenshots... this definately changes the whole matter completely!
Oh, and FANTASTIC works! Keep it up!

[Naseem]

love the work the QTVR is a good idea for all indoor desgins. i really would like to know how this is done if u can make a tutorial :drool:

[gaunpoll]

brilliant:eek:

[Naseem]

sorry i take that back i see ur tutorial in the second page thax man!!! :bounce:

[jcjimenez]

Thanks a lot for all your replies. It makes me to keep working. :)

[Dose]

Great work, and a very interesting tutorial.. Was looking into this myself last year, couldn't find anything to author QTVR's for PC, so ended up with a bit of kit from click here design (http://www.clickheredesign.com.au/)in australia.

It's MAC only, but has loads of options for compressing and connecting panoramas. You still have to output the 6 images from Max or whatever, but once done, it's sweet to use....

Very interesting render settings djshivan, i've only just started hacking my way into vray, and hadn't considered these settings, they seem very high, but i suppose the output looks super smooth, so there you go..

Thanks..

Nice site! :)

The parameters seems to be very high but the render time are not so high in medium quality settings or similar. Although this is the price of the quality in GI :|

nicework, good to see someone putting use to a great utility:).

[jampoz]

As I directly told Plastic, this script doesn't recognize Brazil cameras and hope in a future update when he has some time to spend on it, while waiting for this great script to improve I'm experimenting on those QTVR... damn they ARE cool, I always heard and read about them but never got any chance to test that, well there's always a first time

Once again congratulation on your renders but as told before I can feel the lack of small details like electric current plugs on the walls, little stuff like that could have made 'em way more photorealistic, but still a great light job!!!

[plastic]

As I directly told Plastic, this script doesn't recognize Brazil cameras
hi,
i don't have brazil. what's the purpose of the brazil cameras?
with vray i use standard cameras. why do you need special cameras with brazil?

[jampoz]

Well the DOF is the main thing
But as you told I simply used standard cameras :)
