Architecture: A Stairway

[rquinn]

so is that the pic you made?
what prog?
wheres the reference you used?
thx
if thats your pic its pretty nice tho something is weird about that pic

[requiem]

sweet. i love the lighting on the stairs! the blown out lighting in the center left is detracting though. maybe you could tone that down a bit.
has this been created yet?

Ooopsy, forgot about all that in the first place
Here you go:

Used Maya 5.0 with Mental Ray
Render Time was roughly 16 minutes on a 1.3ghz p4 with 384mb rdram

Here is the reference, had to photograph it, original quality is way better of course ;)

Oki doki,

here's the latest and in my opinion almost final version of my stairway.

I finished the ceiling light, dimmed the light through the door somewhat, and altered the whole thing in photoshop via hue/saturation/lightness to get a warmer look.

Also i improved the render quality by setting mental ray final gather maximum and minimum values.

This is looking good, but maybe you could take a look at the shadows. The shadow on the stairways is very hard. Try to make that softer.

Can we also see an wire of it.

Keep on going:thumbsup:

Yeah, im trying to figure out the shadows right now ;)

Here is your wire, as you can see, nothing special, but you wanted it :P

nice rendering style.i like it..but i think you need to add some bump in your scene because the wall is to flat...still,good work:thumbsup:

I think that the door at the bottom of the stairs is a LOT larger than the one in the photograph. Other than that, it's coming on alright.

Mark.

Looking good. Something strange looks to be going on with the lighting to me. The shadows on the wall by the steps closest to the camera are very strange. I see there are lights on the steps that are casting the shadow but it just looks like to hard of a shadow. Just my opinion. other than that it's great.
