Hey Corona Users,

I have worked on a personal project the last weeks and want to share it with you. Nothing special!

Excellent lighting and tonemapping! Just had a browse of your behance and same comments for all of your work. Would you mind sharing some tips on your workflow? I love how punchy everything looks, without the common "murky contrast" issues that I see. What RGB values are your white walls btw?

Cheers

Thank you for your kind words. Good question about the walls. I try not to go higher than RGB 204 (80% White) to make the shadows a little darker. About the contrast, I try to go high as possible, but till it look natural and not to much. I think the punchieness comes from the armchair and the sky. To give the interior a highlight, I wanted to keep other colors natural and a little bit more special on the armchairs.

Thanks for the info!

Are you using Corona sun & sky or an HDRI as your exterior light source? Re the tone mapping are you using any luts or just cranking the corona contrast spinner?

In this scene I am just using a white Sky without a HDRI. Made it very simple, nothing special. What alot of people dont understand is, that there is not much what you can do with the lighting. The right choose of materials and furniture models are very important for the overall look. If I would delete all the furnitures, you would see, it is a very basic lighting. I am using no Luts in this interior :)
