Hi guys,
I started using Indigo back in 2006 when I made my first steps in CGI. It's been a long time since then and I haven't used Indigo for over half a decade now - feels all a bit weird to say that, doesn't feel THAT long.
However, by now I'm in ArchViz professionally for a few years now, but have been using V-Ray ever since. A few months back I decided to start freelancing, and now I finally got the time to revisit my former love - Indigo.
For this purpose I was looking for a very minimalistic subject to get familiar with Indigo again.
I chose a Photograph by Rafael Gamo he made in the Pace Gallery, as I saw it on ArchDaily and immediately liked it.
I think it served my purpose well. It's great to see that what Indigo does with this minimalistic space. Even though there's barely anything in there, I feel there is something going on. I love the photographic feel of Indigo and the materials instantly look amazing.
The picture was created in my spare time on 2 evenings, could have been 1 evening if I didn't struggle a bit at first with the technical side (Why is everything rendering black???
).
So, I hope I will be here more often in the future and spam you with some questions.
Rendered with MLT BiDir at 2666x4000 to ~ 5000 spp and then downsized to 1333x2000. When downsized noise levels are acceptable I think, but at full size I'm not 100% happy with them in regard to the rendertime. But maybe this is due to my limited understanding of Indigo atm. I've placed area lights in the skylights you see, and from behind theres an HDRI kicking in. Maybe there is some room to optimize the setup.
I hope you like it.
Kind Regards
Christian

Very well done.
Yeah, those are mostly done with V-Ray, as I used it at work for the last few years. But those are all non-commercial renders, sadly I can't show any comissioned work public right now.
