The render itself seems nicely done, but I believe the colors are a bit too saturated. The walls especially. Right now, you’re just letting the color control the atmosphere, you should desaturate it a bit and let the lighting and shadows have a say as well

#108

thanks for the nice tips mate.

going try to deal with the color saturation and shadows. will post results as soon as have’em :slight_smile:

Hello everyone,
Good to see so many nice works already. I’m going to join in as well. I am doing this research for school where I have to do software comparison and write a technical document. As subject I chose architectural visualization, and which software packages are most used in this industry and why.

I am quite new to lighting and rendering, but I find it most interesting and I am aspired to become a 3d visualizer. I have some experience with the Mental ray renderer in Maya. For this project I want to gain some experience in 3dMax Vray, and also want to have a look into Cinema 4d renderer.

I would love to hear from everyone their thoughts on different render engines, tools and techniques, or what the benefits are or downfalls of these software packages and renderers regarding architectural visualization?

Here my progress with 3dmax Vray.
I found it is a very easy to get into renderer. I had some difficulties with organizing the file in 3dmax. This was because I literally never worked with it and I am used to work with Maya or Lightwave.

I have noticed lighting and texturing go hand in hand. Atleast when using GI the indirect lighting has a major influence on the overal lighting of the scene. This can be easily seen in these 2 images where the change of floor materials changes the lighting overall.
