Title: Corona Kitchen

I've been wanting to return to Corona for a while but couldn't find the time. Then I saw some marketing shots by Cesar for its Kalea line of kitchens that I thought fitted the renderer perfectly due to the somewhat complicated "chiaroscuro" lighting scenario. These images have been finished for quite some time but I'm only getting round to posting them now. There was relatively little post work done to them other than running them through ArionFX for some nice glows, levels adjustments and film emulsion effects. Beyond that, not much to say about this relatively simple scene, which uses a mix of new and re-shaded V-Ray assets. Render times oscillated between 2 and 4 hours, with the shots with heavy DOF taking quite a bit longer to resolve fully. Hope you like these.

I really like the cabinet's wood texture. :)

They look really great (as usual) ;)

Only thing that stops my eye for a little while is the rough wood. I would not expect material of such roughness in an interior. Even while coated, i would be worried of getting a splinter on touch :)

By the way, if heavy DoF shots converge slower due to the noise concentrated in blurry areas, just lower GI/AA balance value. That will focus more rays to AA (and therefore DoF) sampling. It allows you to balance the sampling out, so that you don't get areas in focus overly clear while areas in defocus remaining noisy.

Really good as usual Bertrand! I would as Rawalanche said make the wood a little less rough...but that is the only thing I can comment about :)

The wood is actually even rougher in original. It's the macrostructure of the texture that is different, I presume it was quite hard to find something close without going out and photographing it.

It's very good re-creation though.

Was the ArionFX used only for glows or also some tonemapping ?

Nice to see the original photo. I can see that the wood is very rough in the photo. So yes, really good re-creation!

The very nature of the wooden planks are exactly there. Stunning re-creation of reality.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Yes, it was pretty difficult to source the textures for the cabinets. They were made by merging different plank textures and overlaying a uniform dark tint. In the end, they probably ended up looking a bit less rough than in the reference. I now realize I should have also given the floor a bit more attention.

Excellent Bertrand, one more time !
Just curious about the lighting type and the setting you used for these clean shoots !

Best !

the one thing i like much more in the original is the old looking wood floor! did you wanted yours looking so new?
Otherwise brilliant work!!

amazing recreation!..

and about the wood planks, they are not really "wood", those are made from MDF, painted to simulate oak, stamped and lacquered. So probably there are no rough edges anywhere

This is monstrously realistic, once again... the extra glare in the background looks nicer than the original photo x)

I love the result, a masterpiece as usual ! :)
I think the wood matches the reference image enough, I was a little bit telling myself if it's a little bit too much bump on it but I was wrong.

Beautiful..as usual.
You did an excellent work on Post Prod (as usual).
Would be more appreciate if you could post the Corona Raw Render, just how to see how you use that powerfull engine.

Hi Bertrand!

May I knows what do you meant under " film emulsion effects " ? This is chemical stuff....Isn't it ?
