Project 2B: Interior Renderings

Final Interior Shot #1

Final Interior Shot #2

Added a background image, test rendered it to see the effect. Added interior furniture. Added Omni lights into the light fixtures, but due to the Exposure settings for Daylight System setups it does not show up.

As the Daylight system made other photometric light systems unviable, I replaced the sun with a Target Direct light. This also gives me the advantage of creating volumetric lighting. I added a Volume Light effect to the Target Direct light for dramatic effect.

Tweaked settings for the Volume Light to create intended effect that isn't too overpowering.

Test render.

Added more light fixtures, and additional Omni and Target Spot lights.

Final render.

Post production done in Photoshop to induce desired atmosphere in the render.

Step by Step:

Placed materials from Material Explorer into Material Editor.

Modified each material to include reflectivity, bumpmapping, etc.

Added MR Sunlight system.

Imported Bitmap texture, adjusted UVW size and scale.

Placed cameras, adjusting FOV and lens focal length.

Placed second camera, and adjusted the sun position.

Set Render Settings to use NVIDIA Mental Ray, at a resolution of 1920 x 1080, increased final gather points, etc.

Rendered image is placed in Photoshop for post-production work.

Changed the sky for more dramatic effect. Use the brushes tool to increase contrast, by darkening shadows and lightening highlights.

Added grass unto the plains.

Added trees and hilly background to reflect the site context of the building. Added human for scale. Added shadows for trees on the building itself. Final image can be seen at the beginning of this blog post.

Second render is placed into Photoshop for post production work. The sky has been changed for more dramatic effect, and grass is added.
