@l i am said: @majid said: The smart way would be using a shit of light emitter material instead of a thousand LEDs... this is the trick mostly used to simulate lighting facades such as shopping or facades... Based on your render engine there are different tips and tricks. to have an overview of the technique please search :"apartment night texture" Also this may give you some ideas: https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=2954 Hi Majid that,s what I did, the LED's are octagons (red) which were made into light emitters. I am interested in what you thought the Led's were? I completely understood you, you modeled all the lights and then replaced them with instances that does not produced remarkable saved time... am I right? I mean a totally different approach, or sort of trick. the same trick that is used to simulate a fire: an image from fire flame ( that is also emitter) + an opacity mask.. You can mimic all the lights you have in a single texture like that and using the appropriate opacity mask, eliminate unnecessary parts and this way reduce emitter faces as much as possible... a bit tricky but time saving.

Mike A. Thank you sir.

@andybot said: That plant is looking too healthy! It's not real, it's plastic. The room has one saving grace - at least it has some color. As opposed to neutral gray or beige chairs and carpeting. And it's missing the corporatey inspirational poster. So, there is hope for it yet.

pbacot : True....the carpeting on the wall is an "old" idea. But it DOES help with soundproofing. The furniture ? I'm still, in a motif like this, trying to find something that someone could "sink" into. Thhanks for you input. garystan

Very nice , great atmosphere. All fatties to sleep in the rear bedroom with that cantilever John

Very poetic!

Yes agreed, the deliverable for the client was just the model but I needed something poppy for my instagram, I found the red of the cut a good contrast to the red on the posters. I also missed some of the section cuts by the doors, nooooo........ :0(

And to you, Sir. Looks like we will see more like the above image.

As always great job with your old train stations ! Agree with the others the last image is superb, Would work up into a great animation of your train running through .

Thanks Mike A. and you are right models like this always look their best when shown in context...

Thanks Paul, and sorry I didn't have your brand on hand......

Added!

The tall grass/reed is from here https://www.behance.net/gallery/47079875/Freebie-9-Jungle-Plants The other with the seeds is a free xfrog sample it's an oat here http://xfrog.com/product/AG01.html

Thanks for the comments guys. Regarding the white balance i used a wild film response to give everything that retro blue look. I never as a rule do any post processing or adjustments to a render so thats a no no Mike, yes space would be more ideal but lighting is tricky as a black hdr image isn't very useful i suppose i could have used a small distant sun or a nearby emitting jupiter. But here Discovery has returned to earth orbit it's been lost since the 2010 film

Thanks man

Thank you Daniel and a belated Happy New Year to all!

Thanks garystran, I would like to see the rest too. Unfortunately this was the only room illustrated.

I have to admit not being happy with the data mining.

garystan, Mike A. , Thanks gents...

Thanks John, and to you and yours. Stay well dood.
