2nd wip

#44

@funkygfx very nice has an awesome feel

Alright here is my first WIP of a new angle. going to go for a more vintage look and explore what it takes to get that realistic feel. here is just a base LOW res render of the comp. needs a bunch of work

Wip2

Added some more light sources to get the lighting a bit more “right”
did some color correction. Still a bunch of work to be done im happy where its heading. Still super low res

Hello Preston and thanks for your comment!

I really like ur first image and the second one is looking nice so far, but in my opinion the wooden front looks kind of “reddish”, a bit too bright and thus catches too much attention.
The Color bleeding on the ceiling is a little strong as well, but might go away when rendering with more samples.
The perspective is great although I don´t understand why there´s a chair in front of the kitchenette :slight_smile:

Just my 2 cents.

@funkygfx thanks and I agree it was a little too red. I do want a bit of a red tone to the wood though. Im trying to somewhat re create one of the sample images. in that image the chair was in this position and i dont know why but I love it sitting there even though its out of place

Ok I added more detail on this now. Im not sure Im happy with the outdoors yet. From here I want to add detail and further refine the comp and colors. Still figuring it out

Maya, Mental ray. Image based HDRI with 3 Area Lights

Still thinking about things to make it better

Good progress Preston!
I also have another WIP here:

#50

Great challenge!

I chose the Ando scene.

Here’s two views so far, I’m thinking of a couple more and also some night shots

Draft settings @ 7 mins, I fear the final quality ones will take an hour or two… :banghead:

#51

Nice mood and colors Hamburger.
The grass looks pretty good too!
What software are u using?

I´m definetly looking forward to see a final rendering.

#52

Thanks funkygfx, I’m using Maya and V-Ray.

#53

Final dusk shots:

Waiting on the night shots to finish rendering, will upload them later hopefully a couple hours to go.

#54

Night versions.

#55

Hey Guys,

thanks

#56

My first attempt with fansworth house. I must try diferent camera postions and daytimes. I hope to upload more images tomorrow, but this is the basic for the scene.

#57

I think i´m out of date, but this is the more far away i can go. I will try to continue with this scene and put images in the old challenges post.

#58

the deadline was delayed :slight_smile: a while ago you’re still on time :wink: keep posting I will post detailed feedback on the new images at the end of the week :slight_smile:

The lighting on these shots is incredible Hamburger, I feel like I’m there. I can almost smell the grass! This was all done without HDR lighting?

Is there anywhere I can read up about how to achieve lighting like this? Books?
