Hi guys,
Here's my latest personal project. It's a recreation of Ikea's inspiration set made by Hans Blomquist himself.
I wanted to recreate the raw feeling of the materials from the photos. It's not 100% true to photographs but a more adapted version. Most of the objects/materials/details were chosen on the go while working on bits and pieces of the main image. The lighting it's surprisingly simple, just the hdri himself with no extra hidden lights/strobes(usually when I feel it's needed, I use it but in the same real-world photographic approach, no fake bullshit). The window has the portal plane for noise reduction and optimisation.
It was rendered a while ago in 1.6.3 and around 120passes for 2/3 h each on the 3k longest side. While usually I use corona frame buffer tonemapping along the process with the Dubcat's photographic LUT loaded, I still save it as raw exr and do the post in ArionFx as I'm more comfortable working in Ps and I discovered a way to embed the arion 32bit tonnemaping in a smart layer and loaded in an 8/16bit file and working with the rest of the ps feature without compressing the 32bit file and lose the ability to come back to arion edits later if I want/needed. Dof is made in frischluft, although I experimented with it in camera and I found it very straightforward I still feel more comfortable doing it in post after. Fusion was used only for running frischluft dof as it's the version of the plugin I have. After regular arionfx processing nothing else, just 2 or 3 shots I think I did some corrections in Ps, mostly in the plants as I wanted to pop up more.
Most of the props are from my library and all the fabrics are made by me in Marvelous with retopo in ZBrush as I wanted to have a cleaner topo and avoid any artefacts (I'm not satisfied with the topology of MD yet).
I also made some handmade bitmaps especially for specks of dust, smudges, paints, grunges etc.
Other software than 3dsmax himself, I used some shaders from sigershaders but as a base and build on top a more complex system depending on the needs.
Feel free to comment and ask anything about it and head to my website(link in signature) for the complete set of images.
Cheers
