Good day all.

From this crowd.

So I looked them up, no website.
I wrote back told them a price a large price then I got this back.......

Thank a lot for your reply! I will send this info over to my client and will contact you as soon as possible.


I have tried working with different companies in the past and had some negative experience. We have gathered some questions for the new studios we want to try working with. Could you please answer them? These are pretty vital for the long-term relationship we are looking for.


Do you charge per view or per hour? How much is that?

How many revisions are included in the price? What is the cost for extra revisions?

What is your basic estimation time for an architectural project with 1 view? Sometimes we need quick estimation in the future

What is the resolution of the final rendering? Do we have to pay extra for high res (4k, for example)?

What is the cost for additional views?

What is the cost of birdview for this project?


What files do we need to send you to start the project?

What software do you use? 3Ds Max, V-Ray, Corona?

Do you send draft results in a grey model rendering, draft render of screenshots?

Can you share the source files, so we'll make a final fix in-house?

How are we going to get results?

Will the price change if I get you a 3D model?


What is the cost of a panorama view?

What is the cost of an additional option or a different version of a project? For example, changing a time of the day, weather conditions or season of the year.

Do you have a team to work with several projects at the same time? If so, how many projects your team can do at the same time? We got overloaded sometimes


What is your payment process? Do you work with pre-payment? post-payment?

Do you charge extra money for urgent projects and tight deadlines?

What is the cost of large-scale projects? For example, 100 unique projects per year.


So wrote back, and told them show some evidence they were a really company gang of chancers.

So be aware of this lot.
Up to no good,
The sent a link with drawings and a sample image they want too, full set of drawings..................

« on: 2019-10-14, 13:14:00 »
Good day.

Is there anybody using Corona for the still work and using Unreal for the interactive work.
Or just modeling in Max and straight into Unreal with Corona textures to Unreal.
I would like to start using Unreal as its the way work is going and I am being asked for it also.
Thank you, PM me if you like.

[Max] General Discussion / Corona and the link to Chaosgroup
« on: 2019-08-21, 18:38:01 »
Afternoon
Watching some of the footage from Siggraph recently , Chaosgroup seem to be making some very serious moves forward in R&D .
Will this flow down to Corona, will the Lavina be of any use to Corona users.
It all seems to be based on GPU tech.
Anybody have any thought on this?

« on: 2019-04-24, 11:17:32 »
Hi

Off-Topic / Work flow Suggestions
« on: 2019-04-16, 14:47:47 »
I am sure I asked this before.

At present I am a Corona user.
I was Vray for years.
So Clients want high quality stills and animations these days.
The time lines are very tight, and the budgets are ok, but not very big.

So animation in Corona take time, beautiful but time and costly over time.

So should I go back to Vray and Vray of Unreal, so the work flow in linear.
Once everything is textured in Vray , output to vray for Unreal, and animations would be quicker........I am presuming.

Is there another solution, lumion twinmotion, and the quality is not there, sorry, but it is not, and neither is the link .

Thank you

[Max] I need help! / Cloth Sample Accuracy
« on: 2019-01-21, 15:32:13 »
Cloth Sample Accuracy

I have been asked to render out boards with different cloth samples on them,for acoustic boards.

I have the samples physically, what is the best process to get the cloth perfect if that is possible, photograph plan down shot  with diffuse light.
Is there a simple set up that can be purchased to get the lighting correct?

I also have another query.
I have 1 image with 16 different version of the material to change out.
What is the best process for the this, in vray I think it is the Vray switcher material, but I would prefer to use Corona?


Thank you

General CG Discussion / Arran sweaters and Wool shop
« on: 2018-08-28, 10:52:42 »
Good morning.
I am currently working on a shop interior, and the client is asking for a lot of very specific wool items Arran sweater, scarves etc.
The interior is not like to ones you see in the forums here of a few items but hundred of items packed in.
Has anybody ever done this and how did you handle the file sizes.
I have at the moment 8 refs, structure  shop fit out, Mannequins, baskets, sweaters, scarves, propos, hats, waistcoats etc.

Any Other question, is there a way to work on a ref file without going out of the main file each time you want o make a change to the ref file.
Microstation had a feature were you could swap the file your working on with in the main file and resave, all on the fly?

Thank you in advance.

« on: 2018-08-14, 09:20:59 »
Morning
I do a lot of industrial ,pharma work, and carparks are always in there somewhere.

I generally models everything.
I noticed a lot of people paint the Asphalt, and lines, but for the closer up view  example from the carpark at eye level is this good enough do you think.

I would love to hear other peoples work flow.
Thank you
