..Country Club Interiors - Maxwell + SketchUp..

Looks fine to me, but I do wonder what your motivation is to overlay Sketchup output over a PR Maxwell rendering.
Actually I do understand as it emphasizes on being a design, but I think I would have chosen a pure SU line drawing to overlay (a wire or B&W ). -
...just for the hell of it, client isnt necessarily looking for photo real and i figured the maxwell image would show alot more depth than just a plain sketchup image.... and if you saw the pure maxwell output..it doesnt look very PR....lol
so you're saying a less 'sketchy' overlay? b/c the over lay is pure sketchup.. i forget the style name.. but 100% sketchup... added a little grain, saturation, and contrast in ps though..
-
Jason...after some food and a couple hours of inane tv I like it just fine as it is: plenty of depth and a really (really!) pleasing graphic quality.
But, since you asked...I've been playing with two free DC Layer filters: Mergency4 and SideMerge. Basically you desat (or alter however) a copy of a layer; the filters make the layer progressively transparent from inside/out, outside/in, or side to side in any direction from any starting point (lots of control); then you can further adjust the amount of change using its layer transparency.

thanks tom.. i will definitley check those out...
my friend is supposed to be sending me his Spyder callibrator to straighten out my monitors...so images dont come out so horribly yellow as that first one..haha..
here is the next image... has a slightly different look from the first...let me know which is better..
the wood grain has rotated 90 degrees everywhere from the sketchup model...so need to address that.. and def need some more lighting by the bar... not sure what is up with the shades of the sconces..
-
Jason, these are really beautiful. Great job. I was surprised to see a "finished" rendering post from you! You are always telling us your clients don't fork out for the finished stuff
Shame on them, they've been missing out! -
The second one is the best of the two.
Edit: I meant the last one is the best. Looks good.
-
thanks tina... yeah, i do occasionally get to do some finished renders...haha.. hopefully it starts being more often! than maybe my skills will progress...haha...
-
i really thought those are windows behind the bar if you didnt call them mirrors.
i love this style,just like a real sketch.i never try that before,but it is definitely a good idea to balance the real photo and pure sketch. -
haha...yeah, i need to spend some time and find a solution for that
here is the next test.. two more rooms to go
lost the fabric on the sofa and chairs somehow..
-
here's one more..has some issues... yellow again..and the carpet is way washed out.. i think this has to do with having to deal with the sun and exterior lighting, like the first.... and the reflection in the mirrors behind the bar is way too clear...have to roughen up that mirror or something to tone it down..
-
That one is really great. I like your border too.
-
thanks eric...yeah, i think the border definitely helps... i realised i had forgotten it, so i updated...lol.. stil havent heard from my damn client yet.. she is going to be screwed soon b/c i'm not going to have time to rerender everything if she waits much longer
-
Man! These just keep getting better and better!
-
Sweet renderings Jason! The line work you chose for the last post seems to be too strong IMO... and what's with the piano color?

just wanted to ask that... a yellow grand piano? freaky
-
Really nice work Jason!
-
alright.. i'll go lighter on the linework from now on.. thanks for the head's up.
i know.. yellow..its existing..haha.. the whole place is very...eh..haha..
-
Great pictures.
My thought of the first one was some touches of green would be nice. And now I see you have green in the other views. The bar scene looks ULTRA saturated. Starts to glow. Speaking of glow... it's about time to check out the bar. Happy Weekend everyone.
-
alright..here are the last two.. kind of quick and dirty and have quite a few issues, didnt have long to cook, b/c i'm running out of time and had to start outputting the final images..
-
Jason,
Really great work - all of it. Sorry the client issues - because they should definitely be telling you this!
Don't worry about the bake time - I think the grain adds to the effect. The linework balance is a delicate thing - you just have to play with it till it looks rightg to you. One other suggestion would be to export some shadows in one of your sketchup views so you can overlay them and add just a little more depth to the lower end(nomally darker areas)shadows. Maxweel seems to highlight nice depth at the higher end, but balances out the low end a little IMO.Thanks for the inspiration!
