Hi, very very beautiful scence
I have some question
If you please answer or not answer, that's fine.
Can you share how did you make edge of object like a red and green
best regards

It's called chromatic abberation and is usually done in post-processing software like Photoshop. You can find countless tutorials online how to do it, and if done correctly it can add realism to the render as it mimics color distortion in traditional photography. It's quite minimal in this project and thus helps to sell the images, however many artists like to crank it all the way up and it can really ruin a nice render so go easy with it.

I see you haven't posted the animation for this project but those shots are really stunning. Could you elaborate a bit on your animation workflow? Are you rendering 4k 60fps because it looks uuuuuuultra smooth.

Same goes for stills, superb quality.

Incredible indeed, Juraj. Always interesting to see you work as your approach is quite different from the usual posts we see nowadays. Especially love the balance between warm light coming from the lights and a slightly cold blue haze coming from the outside. While it's not something you would capture in a real world, it creates a beautiful gradient that guides the eye through the image while the rest of the set is very neutral and leaves space for the protagonist, which is of course the lamps.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Wow, great lighting on that WIP of VIPP :) especially like the environment around the building - so much is happening yet it all looks very natural and real. Isn't building such environments even more fun than the architecture itself??

Great news :) would definitely love to see a tutorial on how to use these as most of us are probably tied to some specific tonemapping pipeline (which usually includes ACES OT or other agressive LUTs) so having these 2 work together would be interesting.

Also, always grateful for free content of such high quality. I was just looking at the hdri previews you have on your website and they all look very mesmerising. Well done.

Hey Juraj,

nice of you to give such discounts on your lovely hdris, will definitely check them out! I remember you mentioning something about updating a demo hdri set that you have on your website. Have you had any luck on that, or is it still work in progress?

Either way, I can't wait to test them out - they look amazing!

The level of detail in both, geometry and shaders, is insane. I always wondered - how does one go about modelling something like this? I mean, looking at that rear wheel hub - there's so many tiny screws, metal parts and so on that would be difficult to model from just a reference photo. And it all looks so accurate (or is it?).

Either way, great job.

I like how natural this project is portrayed. It doesn't scream, there's no big contrast between colors, light or elements in the scene. It's just... there. Something that is not so easy to achieve. Well done.

I find it hard to believe that this is a "quick project", given how photorealistic all the renderings are... Or perhaps I'm just really slow at texturing and lighting (I imagine the base model itself was purchased).

Nice work, i’m loving the garage picture too. Can i get the 3ds file, please?

Doesn't work like this here :)

People come to show their work, not to distribute their or someone else's models / scenes.

Great images. Immediately got reminded of Jakub Cech works some years ago (maybe it even was an inspiration, heh):

Interesting point of view, thanks a lot for sharing.

In particular I can relate to your comment on doing work other than rendering as well as actual rendering not being the longest task on the list (as opposed to modelling, texturing, post etc.). Having read some other posts and considering my budget I'm leaning towards 13900KS with 4x48GB RAM setup. Hopefully, plenty of memory will make this future-proof for at least 5 years or so and CPU will be able to stay relevant too.

Seeing your video posted on Corona facebook page now (congrats by the way!), we started chatting with colleagues about Intel Xeon vs consumer grade processors for rendering with Corona. Although it seems that Xeon setups allow for many cores and fast rendering, over time the processors themselves depreciate significantly more than regular ones. They also require ECC ram and more expensive peripherals to go with it.

I know you might not be able to speak against it but it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the long-term pros/cons of server CPU workstation vs consumer grade CPU workstation (and let's say we're only comparing Intel ones for the sake of argument). And I'm interested in single workstation setup because probably there's no argument here when talking about render farm.

hi juraj congrats! i didnt find the 30 min video, where is it?

You can sort by name, it will show you both videos, the second video thumbnail doesn't have my face, but the graph. I don't know how to direct link from there, just weird page :- ).

The second video is actually 17mins, not 30, so maybe that's why he couldn't find it :) but as Juraj has said it's down there, just need to scroll a bit.
