Gallery / Educational Centre in El Chaparral

« on: 2018-05-09, 20:09:28 »

My first attempt at offline rendered archviz and my first time working with Corona Renderer. Having migrated from Keyshot to Corona for interior rendering, I am absolutely blown away by the flexibility and usability of this renderer. Thank you so much Render Legion!

This environment is inspired by the Educational Centre in El Chaparral in Grenada, Spain (Alejandro Munoz Miranda). Look dev for the second image was inspired by Koola.

c & c welcome

Just to clarify, are you using the floor generator script here? Judging by the hexagonal and parquet patterns, it would appear so.

Outrageously high quality, these are amazing images +1

Can you elaborate on the material and the geometry that form the cabin? There is a lot of translucency and light interplay between the surfaces inside and outside the cabin.

Very nice work +1
In the AS Architecture images, are you using displacement on the walls?

Excellent work, well done +1

Sounds like you weren't particularly happy with either Photoscan or Reality Capture, but you ended up using Photoscan(?)

Hmm, I mostly do that kind of stuff in the viewport - Texture tweaking that is.

Have you tried setting your GI to super biased / no GI modes perhaps?

Corona triplanar mapping has not been appearing correctly in the viewport. Is this a bug or an expected issue?

It's not unbearably slow, but I'm migrating from Keyshot which has a 'performance' mode that disables multiple settings with one click (e.g. GI, shadows, etc.) to dramatically increase viewport rendering speed for situations like what I described.

I will need to try what @nkilar has suggested, that seems appropriate.

Is there a way to enable a less complex, GL style rendering option for interactive rendering? For example, tweaking texture position, even with region rendering, can be a significant time sink in between updating texture options and refreshing.

« on: 2018-04-27, 06:58:35 »

When is it appropriate to use displacement, and when is it not - for performance reasons?

Is the ultimate criteria essentially viewing distance? For example, a close-up shot of a plaster wall would reveal subtle, but obvious surface bump, but that same wall viewed at several meters away, the surface bump would be imperceptible.

However, in the interest of being physically accurate, it occurs to me to include displacement regardless. For compute reasons, this is obviously not tenable in many situations. Just curious if I can get a word from the professionals. Thanks :)
