Fantastic Frank Bedroom

[olotl]

Hey Guys,
this is a bedroom, i found on the 20kvadrat-blog and took as my inspiration. I changed some furniture/decoration-stuff and chose a different image-composition, but i think the concept stays the same...
It's my 3rd project with corona and I'm very satisfied with the ease of use of this software. I've used Photoshop, Lightroom and Nik-Color Efects for Postproduction. Hope you like!

Greetings
Alex

Superp lighting! I really wish I knew how to achieve this kinda lighting >.>
Mind if I ask, if you would give it a ratio how much would be post and how much is raw? 40/60? 60 being post or?

Also, you halogen lamp has a really nice shader! Good work really!

Hey Cyanhide,
thanks for the kind words! The Postproduction took like 30-45min for the first picture and ca 10-20min for the last two pictures but i can't really give a ratio...
The lighting is just normal corona sun and sky + 2 spotlights.

Greetings!

Noice! One more question xD is the dof post or did you do it in corona?

[olotl]

DOF is right from Corona - i just let it render over night :)

Awesome. I love the floor and overall lightning :)

really nice renders! What was the resolution?

[olotl]

thanks guys!:)
Original resolution was 2000x1600px.

Probably most guys here won't agree with me but I think good quality "2K" render  is good enough in most cases...unless 12K is required :)

[Cyanhide]

An interesting discussion you bring up; sorry to hijackyour thread but I always wondered, do you get more quality when you render a image at 4lk and downscale it to 2k?
I personally always render at 1920x1080, since most of my clients only require images for web.

I know the original and allready worked with fantastic frank berlin. I like you work. especcially the ceiling camera...

the dof in the first perspektiv is too strong for my taste.

keep up the good work. cheers

Hey Shen, bin auch aus berlin und kenne dich und deine arbeiten noch aus dem guten alten c4d-network, daher herzlichen dank für das lob! :)

The dof is really a bit strong now when you say it... There was something about the first picture, that disturbed me a little but I couldn't figure it out.
On the other topic: I rendered it out in 2000px size, because it was only meant to be shown in the internet. I might be wrong, but I don't think, there will be much or any noticable difference in rendering big and then scaling small.

cheers!

loving the close up shot! Also nice lightning.

do you get more quality when you render a image at 4lk and downscale it to 2k?

Yes, of course.

The original 4K file will have more information (in textures because of lesser filtering, in shadows because of bigger precision,etc.. ), and better anti-aliasing and filtering (the same filter will work on 4x more pixels, producing less blurry result.
The final quality will still depend on what resampling method you will choose when downscaling image but it will always look better.

The very most famous Bertrand Benoit has been doing it on every single project and writing about it in his descriptions since I can remember :- )

I think the foreground is ok, it's just strange to see the distance faded as well in such wide-angle composition.

But this isn't really your fault, we need to get some "artistic" dof control where we could set 2 planes of focus, not just one. This would enable us to keep blurry foreground (for that artistic effect :- ) ),
but keep sharp room. The close-up style of macrolens DOF, doesn't suite architecture. Because of this I do DOF in post, and manually modify my Z-Depth channel by erasing parts from it.
