Scene: Living Room

[ShwayMan]

Wowee. That's so awesome! For some reason I especially like the look and lighting of those stairs in the background.

ok now... please, when posting reference pics... please say they''re reference pix


heehhehe

that''s totally AWESOME!!!!!
loved it!!!

[Awesomeness]

It's really really good.

A little crit on it is that the books on the bookshelf are so neat and proportionate that they look like they were altered like that -- unnatural. So you may want to scruf them up abit, maybe make a few tilted so they're not all straight or something, or just alter the size.

I realize the room itself is neat, so the composition matches, so you may have been going for this.

Very nice.

Thanks very much for the kind words.

It is completely modeled in MAX5 and rendered in a little over ten hours with vray.

All the lights in the scene are vray lights. They give off very nice area shadows and are much faster to render than MAX lights. The render is useing photons on the secondary bounces with a total of 20 bounces. The total scene has 700,000 polys with a lot of suttle reflections. All the materials are vray materials.

There is also a complete kitchen and dining room modeled and lighted in the scene but you can't see it in this view.

I'll post renders of the kitchen and dinnig room soon if anyone is interested in seeing them.

I'm working on cluttering up the scene a bit but I just haven't had the time to do it properly yet.

Thanks again.

very nice.

I like the staircase too. I think the little bit of light coming down from above gives a nice sense of there being more beyond what is visible. Nice work with all the stuff around the place. I'm usually to impatient to do all the little things like books, candles, glasses and sometimes furniture ;)

...kin'ell mate, this is very serious. Love the lighting amongst so many other aspects, I just think the bottle on the table seems a bit miss placed (or maybe its just that the rest of the room is so tidy)
great work:beer:

[Cinderno4]

I think its awesomely perfect. And my bookcase looks like that, does that make me and my bookcase fake? :) :beer:

[Ch@quTheRipper]

nice but who lives there i cant see them. i need to feel that someone lives there. are they pretty? where do they work? hmmm? expression through clutter maybe. yes. yes i think that IS it. do you? hmmm.?...

Well let's see!! A young couple of about 30. They have no children, that's why the house is so clean and tidy. He works in an office as a clerk, hence the neat bookcase. He is 6"2" with brown hair and green eyes. She is a model, 5'9" blond hair, blue eyes and a very nice figure. Their thinking of having kids, but she's afraid it will hurt her modeling career and scuff up the tile floors. He enjoys a beer after work, she likes fruit, apples in particular, while she reads a book setting on the couch.

Here's a shot of the opposite wall.

It seems like to me, that the room is much to evenly lit for where the lights are placed in the scene. I see where the lamp in the living room is giving off light but for the living room i dont see any other major sources of light that could light the room this much.

I think if it wasnt lit so evenly it would also help give the scene a normal lived in look. perhaps make the stair case area dimmed a bit. Also perhaps try different colored lights since flourescent give off a different color light than incadascent lights

Are the curtains really modelled or are they flat planes with a texture? I like the reflections on the windows give is a nice nighttime look, but glass isnt perfectly smooth and reflections on windows really seem to distort.

None of the wood objects seem to have any wood grain or texture to them. I definatly agree about the books.

overall i say you have a very nice scene if you spend a bit more time on a more dynamic lighting scheme and youd have a very convincing image

if i am in this space,

i will feel cold!!!

i like warm color!!!!!!!:)

[ee01akk2]

HAHA. YES! YES!! i can see them too!. they do live there dont they. i personally think kids is he right way to go. i imagine that the woman has a lovely figure. the man needs to stop drinking beers though. doesnt suit the lighting. excelent work. EXCELENT WORK!!:buttrock:
