Corona Tests

[smarties03]

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to share these images here.

Corona is really easy to learn and the light distribution is great. Hats off to the developers of this awesome renderer.

Hi Guys,

Here is another test with corona. This time its a modern type apartment.
C&C are always welcome so I can improve my workflow further.

Your last render is incredible! Extremely photo realistic. What's your lighting set-up like?

[smarties03]

Thanks,

It's a typical HDR lighting in the environment slot. HDR is from CG source. I adjusted the exposure and highlights in the Corona frame buffer. I also did a slight post work on it in PS and Magic Bullet Looks.

Thanks for the info! I've tried a few of the CG source HDRI demos but the ones I've tried seem to have quite a strong colour cast on them. Do you mind pointing me to the one you used?

I think it was 0036-00_hdri_iceland. I modified it a bit in PS and also lowered the saturation. After that it was just playing with the exposure and highlights in the corona frame buffer during rendering until I got the result I wanted. Hope this helps..

Hi smarties,

It's looking quite good overall, but I noticed a few things: In the second image I see a lot of blotches (!?) on the ceiling especially near the borders where it meets the brown stucco. So far I have never seen blotches with Corona and I wonder what's going on there.
The thin curtains seem exceedingly bright compared to modest brightness of what can be seen through the windows. They almost seem to glow suggesting a bright powerfully lit exterior, but  it's rather dull outside.
Also the material and shading for the brownish curtains in front of the transparent ones seem to have a funky mapping problem and appear very stiff and rough.
Still good work of course! :)

Hi Chebo,

Thank you for your comments. I have investigated the render and found out that I mistakenly posted the wrong image for that scene. It seems it was an old render that I made before with V-Ray...(apologies for that)

I'm reposting the image rendered with Corona. It's still a bit raw, I'll adjust a couple of textures once I have time this week.

Cheers.

Hi guys,

Just want to share some more images I did with Corona render. The first one is a Lounge diner area I did for my colleague so he can see how his new apartment space would look like. The furniture is from Minotti collection and some ready made models were taken from 3d sky and evermotion. Had to finish this in just a couple of days so it's a very detailed shot.

The second one is an office open area for one client. Chairs are from boss design.

Cheers...

Hello

Hello

I've decided to use corona from the start of these scenes, so all of the materials used are corona materials. Although the same concept i used in vray was carried forward to the materials in these scenes.
If I use converted vray materials i always double check and test them to ensure they sit well in each scene, there are times when direct conversion doesn't work for every scene.

thanks for your reply , i totaly loved your last office render , i would like to know how did you achieve that realistic effect is it lightning or postproduction , if you could help me with that i would be greatfull since my raw renders from corona are usually dull
i wounder what i am missing there .
