Hey Guys, long time no see.

Was gone to South Africa for a month :)

But here is some work i did this weekend, a test to send of to Sony London.

Comments are most welcome

Here is a large image version.

Wow, thats some pretty impressive work!!!

I like the atmosphere you've managed to achieve. ;)
All the wood looks great, and other objects in the room are very well laid out.

Nice work!

The bump on the floor looks kinda harsh, but the rest is good!
:beer:

Thx Mayaniac, much appreciated :)

Cheers Jr. Who i have updated the floor.

Thx for the comments guys.

Another update, made small adjustments in collaring and tweeked some objects.

Looking good!

I like the improvements on the floor, and the softer shadows sure are a nice touch. ;)

Good work!

yeah - nice job aikoworld - this looks very good. :beer:

Funky ! :beer: 1 thing can you show me your light sets ? GI or FG ? or what technique you used ... i really sux in light so i ask a lot :D to improve myself :blush:

hey thx for the kind words.

The lightsetup is created with 3 directional lights

1 key light, 2 side lights.

The key light is the strongest one.

gave these ones a slight yellow orange collor

Then i added two area lights representing windows

I have added a texture to the light giving a window effect.

Gave them a slight blue collor.

And i know i posted it in the finished work, but i could not help myself and add some more detail and tweaking some things.

Even better still!

I like the reddish color to the scene.

Just remember though, If you keep picking at something.... soon you will have nothing left ;)

nice room!

just some suggestions for you to test.

if you didn´t render with gi/fg I would consider to render a ambient occlusion pass and composit it in photoshop. this might improve the "flattness" of the objects, if you know what I mean. you could also try and use a hdri to light the scene in combination with final gathering/mental ray. this enhences realism in lighting.

good job so far!


___ edit


also you might try to use some specular maps on your objects. this would break up the homogenious look of all surfaces in your scene.

Hello Fallot, very nice critics! i will work on this in the following days. Thank you very much.

Mayaniac i know keeping picking on work is hard work. But if the results are good, then i`m happy :)

what sort of job are you testing for?

Environment modelling and texturing. :)

I mean, is it games or film/cinema?
