Title: Urban Loft
Post by: modern_babylon on 2013-12-11, 11:12:09
Hi guys,

Thought i'd post a few images from a simple scene based of a few old reference images I had lying around and really nice model of the Bonaldo Big table that I have never used till now. The exercise really was just to play around with composite materials (like the wall/floor/window glass). Originally I wanted to make the dirty window glass as a material too but ended up getting lazy and doing it in post.

Hope you like it...C and C welcome too.

Cheers

They look nice, but you totally overkilled the bump amount on wood.

Thanks Rawalanche...now that you mention it, it does look a bit strong. I'm finding more and more that the bumps in corona are are lot more pronounced and you need very little bump/ if any to get a good result.

That is true... bump value is quite sensitive ;)

I would say bump is too high on more things than just wood.
You have to be careful with bump when rendering in high resolution. If you were doing some smaller shots before, the bump probably looked totally different.

Some of the materials have more bump that necessary but in some cases I ended up liking it and keeping it (the old metal of the radiator is one for example). As an EX mental ray user, I often over used bumps intentionally for a certain effect...but now with corona, the results are far more pronounced so any inaccuracy is really noticeable.

Cheers,

Defending on what image you are referring to, the blur was probably part camera positioning, part post.
