Title: Crematorium. Kahlenberg, Vienna
Post by: Daniel Mikolajčák on 2017-01-15, 18:31:02

I would like to present set of 3D shots of un-built catholic crematorium designed by Peruvian architect Miguel López Solís. Due to the intriguing use of exposed concrete and light openings I have immediately thought of Hélène Binet´s black and white architectural photos of Peter Zumthor's buildings. Desaturation puts more focus on the concrete texture and reflections of materials.

Kindly,
Daniel

Sad but beautiful/
Work with texturing and mapping are brilliant///
It reminds movies of Bergman:)

You know something's really special when you get goosebumps when you see it, and not all because of the type of building. I can't imagine lighting and materials getting any better than this! Stunning work, congrats Daniel!

Can you share some info about the lighting and concrete material setup?

Only thing that I didnt like was the bench mapping, but overal great work.

Thank you for compliments, especially considering this is my first dive into photorealistic images.

I guess the biggest secret about textures is to invest into high-res bitmaps. All textures come from www.textures.com and I purchased highest resolution available. For the lights, I have used corona sun for main illumination, on some scenes there are some dimm fake lights behind the camera to provide for additional lighting. Since the interiors are very simple I was able to invest time into setting up the light instead.

The first picture with the entrance has a "fake cloud" which dims the beginning of the entrance and some of the grass field on the right side. This was to invoke what I would call Dutch paintings atmosphere of partly cloudy landscape with high contrast of shadows and light. I was lucky to find a background sky to match this atmosphere. The bitmap comes from flyingarchitecture.com

yes Tanakov, I agree bench mapping is the weaker part of the composition. Will do better job next time.

Despite the flaws, when looking at those images I have this feeling of looking at something extremely professional - like shots from a high class photography magazine. Absolutely mind-blowing!
