Scandinavian Apartment

Hi

I just wanted to share my latest personal project. A Scandinavian Apartment decorated with midcentury furniture.

Software used: Corona render, 3dsmax, adobe Photoshop.

Best, Gabriel

Oh these are amazing, Gabriel!

The level of details and subtle choices you put into these images and design is so inspiring.

I see the resolution is pretty big, did it take a long time to render? The big one especially (6500x5000) What is your noise percentage for this big of a resolution? I usually keep it at 4%, but curious to what do you like best.

Thank You!

I usually render everything in between 3000 and 4000 px depending on the intended use for the image. In this case I wanted to try to render at a standard resolution for a digital camera to see if the image holds up. The render noise was 4% but I added some (a lot) noise in post. In commercial projects I don't usually add so much, but in these personal projects I'm more loose when it comes to post production.

As for the rendering time, I don't remember exactly how long it took. It did take a long time to render, although it depends on what you mean by long. Since I don't have such a good computer, all my render times tend to be long. I think an image like this could take between 5 to 7 hours.

Thanks for the insight, i never thought of adding more noise, what do you like to use for it?

5-7 hours sounds about right haha, i sometimes have 2 hours renders but only when the view is not so complex. When I have glass cabinets, idk why but the render times go even longer than 5-7 hours... so annoying :(

For the noise I use the regular filter from photoshop but I do a luminosity mask to add more noise in the dark areas.

Maybe you can try corona rayswitch material to simplify it and get better render times. I did not try it with glass cabinets but for mirrors works great.

Incredible per usual.

You need to get more credit for your design eye in addition to your rendering skills. You have a real knack for how to layout furniture in a room with an appropriate amount of decor. This is something I struggle with often.

For film noise, I found these stills not too long ago. I don't typically add noise, but I think using these as screens is the way I'd go.

Hi John

Thank you! But I surely have more recognition than I deserve hahah. I think the recognition comes from the quality of your work and luck. And I've had a lot of luck. I still have a lot of improvement to do.

Yes, choosing furniture is hard. It may be what I spend the most time doing in a project and for me, it involves a lot of trial and error. One of the virtues of 3d, I don't have to pay for the furniture every time I want to try something hahaha.

Thanks for sharing the web with the noise. I am going to do some tests to see how they look, on the web are looking top
