      Hi Jackson,
      very nice results! 👍
      You are using Vray for Max?
      I ask that because I see direct sun light and HDR light together in 1 image.
      VrayforSU has a problem doing that.......or did you find a solution for that?

        Thanks Kwist!

        All done with VRay for SU- I use the same solution we discussed once on the ASGvis forums with the following parameters:

        GI map Multiplier 40
        Blend Ratio 0.99
        Texture A: VRay Sky/Sun with an Intensity Multiplier of 0.4
        Texture B: Black ground to White sky gradient spherical map jpg (i.e. LDRI), just 200 x 100 px made in Photoshop with a Multiplier of 1.

        I found even such a simple LDR gradient GI map really helps bring out the details in the external areas, especially the statue by providing 360° fill light to counteract VRay's somewhat overly-simple sky and sun GI. The crazy 0.99 blend ratio is required as the VRay sky is so massively powerful compared to LDRI or even HDRI GI maps- I've even had to take to down to 0.999999 for a couple of projects.

          Thanks for explaining....I will need to convert the multiplier values to V1.0 as I still prefer using that version.

            Jackson,

            Here is a picture directly from the Knoll Studio website. This should clear things up.

            Maybe not twice as thick but noticeably thicker in the original.

                A really great work Jackson... congratulations ! ...we all have to work harder and harder to keep on being able to show things here without being ashamed !

                Just a little remark, the level of detail of the travertine on the ground is maybe a bit weak regarding to the quality of the metal standing next to it... maybe a really soft displacement could bring more realisme to the surface on a close up view.

                    Wow Jackson, I find these renderings amazing!
                    I didn't realize you was this good 😉

                    You have certainly got the hang of Vray!

                    The second and forth images of the first post I love (i love them all, but these are my favourite). The metalwork and glass is exqusite 👍

                              AMAZING

                              Thanks Jackson for including your settings

                              Keep them images coming

                              Exaggeration makes a dull story better.

                                  Thanks for all the kind comments! 😄

                                  I left my laptop rendering again last night and the result is another 4 renders, concentrating on details and a view of an internal corner you don't often see in photo sets of the pavilion.
                                  The column foot detail has been pretty heavily photoshopped as the travertine slab diffuse map doesn't really stand up to close inspection, so I PSd a higher resolution example in and mapped it over the rendered one. The others have just been gamma and exposure adjusted from the HDR renders, a little diffuse glow and a little dodging on the stool cushion seams. The last one shows window frames without any filleting, beading or screws- I'll update that part of the model one day, but I thought it might be interesting to post an example of the difference that details like that can make to a render.

                                  Scott, re: the chair and stool cushion thickness, on studying more photos I agree they could be a bit thicker (uuugh, back to the vertice mines LOL 😆 ), but it's only on copies that I've seen cushions anywhere near twice as thick as in my model, see the black copies below compared with the real deal. I really had my heart set on modelling the original original barcelona furniture with bolted steel legs rather than Mies' updated cast monolithic ones that we all know and love, but I couldn't find reference photos anywhere. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing them at the Bauhaus museum in Berlin years ago- I'm going back in September so I might have to sneak my camera in. heh heh 😕
