Two interiors (update Oct. 10)

Post by BbB » Tue Oct 09, 2007 6:25 pm

Two little thingies I've been rendering overnight. The kitchen is an attempt to reproduce a Bulthaup advert, with some liberties taken as to the accessories. The second is a very simple set-up. I originally had a scene with the same furniture that was so crowded and complex it just wouldn't clear even after two nights. I got frustrated, slammed this old photo of mine as a background and re-rendered it as a studio image. The kitchen was calculated overnight at 2400x1800 pixels on a quad core (I9t8 64 bits). The chair-and-table one took the same amount of time on a core duo (32bits) and is therefore a lot grainier still. It was also outputed at 2400x1800 and downsampled. I'll be having another go at the more complex version after some serious optimization work.

Thanks Ono. Much appreciated. Kitchen-computer now shut down, but I'll upload the cloudy one for now and do the kitchen tonight.

Oops. Good point. I just realised I'm still working with my old indigowrapper. So this is t7 and I thought I was using t8. Damn me!

The kitchen render is fantastic,
can you share the top material and the white plastic?
What about the light in the scene
Do you use exit portal tecnique?
Very good work.

Hi Gradozero. As I said, I don't have access to that scene right now, but I'll definitely upload those settings tonight. Both are really simple phongs. The worktop is black with a relatively high IOR (something like 2 or 3 if memory serves well), and a low exponent (between 30 and 50 I think), it's basically dull metal. The white mat is even simpler. Just a white phong with a high exponent (50,000 I think) and a lowish IOR (1.2 or so, perhaps even lower).

As for the light, I started with indirect sunlight (this is a detail of a much bigger scene) but it just took forever to render. So I swithched off the sun and placed a large bluish emitter in front of the window, another behind the camera, and to my surprise it achieved exactly the same result but with faster render time (the speed was no surprise, just the fact that it looked so much like the indirect daylight I was trying to achieve earlier).

Now I'm sitting on it and waiting for MPD in order to render this tricky drystone wall, a small bit of which you can see on the left.

Merci Stur.
Apropos MPD. I've got a whole bunch of MPD-friendly textures waiting to be uploaded once we make the big break! Ok, I'll quit dropping hints for now...

very nice pics, BbB! the kitchen lighting is really very realistic and very well balanced.
the metal on the two pics is a bit strange (but nice): it looks like silver, instead of aluminium or brushed inox.. did you use a .nk for that?

Top work!!

Hi Marcofly. I agree. I didn't use an nk for that and it's true that my metals are not very realistic. How they come out seems to depend a lot on the lighting, though. I struggled with the metal in the kitchen, in particular, as it was supposed to be very clear, almost milky.

Ono: Just a phong with a high IOR... Not high enough, obviously :oops:
