Lighting Challenge #21: The Bedroom

[annkos]

Kostas: I love the rug! Very convincing. Posters aren’t distracting either and the lighting is quality…but it looks like you had the same problem as I had, the slots on the cupboard are a bit splotchy. But that’s purely a technical crit!

Thanks Hamburger!!! Your shot is one of the best for me, great lighting!! As for the splotches, the problem was even worst but when i put the vraylight inside the window it fixed a little bit. I hope with higher settings to fix it more.

Little update, I added another light source, I still have to fix winter mood and outside atmosphere.

Would there be any reason why my photon colour keeps defaulting to white, no matter how many times I change it, it goes back to white lol…

[halfPintMike]

Hi there, this is my second go at it. Thank you very much for the critique, Jeremy. There are still some light leaks and the textures very simple but I thought I’ll get the lighting fixed decently first. In this scene I’ve got a sun lamp and 4 area lamps. Two each for a sky blue color and a pinkish one.

Credits and comments are most welcome.

Are you using Maya 2010 by any chance? Never noticed this in any version before, but I can confirm that this has happened to me in Maya 2010 as well. It is so aggravating. I’m curious whether this is a known bug or not.

[Shordy]

here is the last version. I did some rework on the ceilling and made a cut between wall and upper surface. I also changed back the blind to be visible for gi.

In the next steps i will add some small details like ashtrays and some empty fast food packages.

After that i will begin the final cut with some atmospheric stuff like dust and volumetric light shining through the blinds…

wip still in progress

@Shordy: Really nice man. You’ve taken this image a long way. The texture work is much nicer and it adds to the look of the final piece.

As a quick aside, I love Emperor! They’re on your poster. Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk is one of the best metal records ever.

[CPFitz14]

Here’s my update. Again using portal lights and FG. I’d love some feedback!

[Atrakt]

Thank all for your comments and sugestions!
Jeremy and Kanooshka, thank for advice, it realy help me !

i have a lot of problem now, with my “funky 16 lights setup” i have many shadows rays (for ex: 128 for each points lights) if i would a clean and soft shadows… my computer don’t like it, its take too time for rendering, about 3H for a 1280x720 image! maybe i’m miss something?..

sorry for my bad english and my “newbie style” :buttrock:

[annkos]

Great work Shordy!!! Only too much bottles for my taste!

CPFitz14: Nice work!! Some thinks that i would change for now are the blanket’s texture, the middles poster texture and guitar’s material.

[dhaposh]

What U have said it will be very helpfool for me thanks

I think it looks vey promising- very strong mood. But I think you need to add a bed-side table lamp as a fill light so you can light dark parts more and create interesting shadows.
And I think your sun needs to be more saturated in color for morning.

Here´s my newest render
Still low-settings with lots of PS ^^
Hope that it´s better than my last one =)
The bed cover is only placeholder, i´ll spend it a Bayer Leverkusen (my favourite soccer team) or a texture of the German Soccer team

I usually use ray trace shadow only to the key light, if you want a clean and soft shadow, try to use Depth map shadow, you can use 512 in resolution with a filter size of 8 or 12, if you want more soft and control, use mental ray depth map shadow parameters, every light have a tab mental ray where you can configure that.

Comments.

xcEmUx: great image, try to create more shadow in the plants, between the cabinet and closet, i think that ambient occlusion would be help you.

CPFitz14: i like this image, great job, try to add a few specular light, in the bottle, plants, lamp.

Shordy: great!!. I dont know what to tell you, i like it.

halfPintMike: Nice render, try to add some background in the windows, that help you to create your ambient light in the room.

Vlada3d: Beautiful image, i like the color, texture, great render, only the black “blinds” ( what is the name of thing that there is in the window, i looking for in the dictionary and it show me the word “blind” but i dont know if it is the name) in the windows, try to create some translucent effect, and i think that image it would be great.

Waters: Nice start, keep working.

Thanks Eduroam!
i’m know lights has this parameter, but i don’t have same shadows with depth map shadows and ray trace shadows, maybe i’m so tired

plzzz leave ur thoughts !

[Alavans]

Thanks for your feedback :d
OK I’ve done some work on the textures and corrected the right side glow.next step I’m going to use AO and do some post work.I would love to hear your critique.

[pixela]

Sure, I will have to upload on imageshack.us one of my raw renders and I will show u. My work flow is simple: after rendering in maxwell 1.7, I am using free plugin for photoshop for removing the noise which is very common after when maxwell is rendering:) Than I play with contrast, saturation and add with brighting tool (or whatever its name is) “fog” than I put with standard brush with option “satturation” collor I whish the fog have. See u!

Thanks for the answer.
Brightening tool is Dodge?
Please leave notice when you upload raw render.
