Juan Restaurant - Coronator Course

[Alex Darby]

Hello Peeps,

So I have been busy with the Coronator course and these are my test renders.
My scene is based on the completed project by Steven Leung. http://www.steveleung.com/index.php?r=pages/director&top=1&mid=7&id=1
Their studio produces absolutely stunning interior designs. Attention do detail and finish is second to non.
This is purely a case study on materials, lighting, rendering and post production.  If you have any queries or question please ask.
Would just like to thank Nguyen Ba Dung. He is a master and a fantastic teacher. I would recommend his course with out a doubt.

Here are some final testing visuals. Will post the build up.

Some development white models. Sun + Sky.

Decided to take it more of an evening vibe. The feedback from Corona Interactive is amazing.
You can literally paint light.

Started with the dominant materials first.
Floors, Ceilings and timber cladding.
PBR is great. Used a scratch bitmap on the glossiness channel. Left ior @ 1.52
Could of layered the materials to add more depth but was happy with results.

The corona converter works very well.
Had to tweak a few settings but bottles came out well.

Excellent work Alex.

Alex, do you speak vietnamese or you don't listen to his stuff?

Don't speak Vietnamese, only English. He ran an online course in English.
There is another starting towards the end of this month.

[Nguyen Ba Dung]

Such a pleasant time with you guys on the course and seeing progress each day.
Thank you for your kind words, Alex. Can't wait to see the finals ! :)

burnin: Used Vray for 6 years.

Thanks for confirming my hunch.
Nice works, tho shows an inclination to the vray style.
// Ah, checked your page... yup, unmistakeably VRay ;)

Hope you'll keep growing strong with what Corona offers.
Just a note. Large & repeating surfaces are a bit too perfect and in unison (clean and sharp) so if you are to include more surface details, bits of uniqness (natural imperfections) might be easier for you to reach the ambiance of a living space, higher level of realism... if that's what you're after.

Anyway, keep it up.
