Title: E Alexander Sketch Book

Some older work (reorganizing hard drives over here).  Corona is easily my favorite engine.  I do a lot of Octane work, but nothing beats the look and ease of Corona.

First real attempts at Arch Viz  - I'm a theater/concert designer.  So much to learn - so hard to get it feeling right. 

Furniture models by Dimensiva.com, Turbosquid, Fritz Hansen, and model+model.com.

Cool vibe and colors. How did you do the crowd?
Title: Re: E Alexander Sketch Book
Post by: Ealexander on 2017-12-07, 12:47:52
Thanks! The crowd is made up of 8 different Adobe Fuse models, posed in Mixamo. I'm using a cloner in Cinema4d in object mode set to surface (after making a hidden layout polygon guide). The cloner is targeted to look and face where I want with a hidden null. They are textured with just a reflective black material, slightly blurry. I overlay a real crowd photo in photoshop and set its blending mode to Color at a low opacity to get some variation in there.

Awesome stuff, I especially liked the robot guy, and that one stretching on the chair. That could be an awesome addition to some high-profile archviz. :)

Poor doggie!

Those sketch-like are actually pretty interesting, but I wonder how much is directly out of Corona, and how much is further post.

Spoiler alert: the dog lives!

I don't have the raw render file with me here, but I have a clay shot of what was actual geo. It is massively over painted, but the initial layout and lighting is key.

Been focusing on Modeling mostly lately.  Working on Hard surface modeling (Vectorworks to Cinema4D) like the Lightsaber and Sub-D as well (beetles).  All rendered with Corona for Cinema 4D.  Fish tosser was just some lighting setup work.

What's up with the fish throwing? :D

Title: Re: E Alexander Sketch Book
Post by: Ealexander on 2018-10-31, 21:08:54
Yes, those pens could use some smoothing for sure.

Haven't posted in a while - here is another random dump of R&D.  All Corona and Cinema 4d.  Hard surface modeling in Vectorworks.

A few more. Modeling in Vectorworks. Rendered in Cinema. 4D with Corona, of course.
