Room Visualization Part 2 – Furniture and assigning Materials

27Aug08

Modeling

• I’ve measured all my furniture and I constructed it using simple boxes and cylinders objects
• Details on window frame, such as the pull

Materials

• There are two things i can be glad off, the rest is shit.
• First: the furniture glossy background. However I didn’t see the final render (I’m doing the render while writting this)
• Second the glossy handle of the window

Lights

• mr Sky Portal Settings: filter set to dark grey in order make some normal view outside the window

Rendering

• mr Photographic Exposure Control: changed preset to Daylight Indoor
• Final Gather Settings: In the main render bounces increased to 5, Image Precision: High,  Final Gather Precision: High, in other renders everything is set to low with bounces 0.

Corrects

• The window handling added to the window

Notes

• I’ve got a lot of problems in applying a proper texture such that my table doesn’t get too much highlights
• I noticed that more glossy promaterials rather than the unfinished one don’t get completly white when directing a lighting on it, so all my furniture was set to glossy even if it’s not so glossy at all in real.
• To sum up, 3ds max is great for modelling things, however when it comes to materials the issue is fimiliar to building a computer from home made parts… (materials editor in 3ds max = shit)
• It took me 7 hours to render the main scene… Moreover vista user control and system update screwed my 3dsmax a couple of time… (mad)

Open for comments and suggestions.
