Another Internal Render
-
Mate I'll throw some crits in for you! One's never sure on the SCF - many take offence and I think that's why we so so many good renders spoilt by bloom effects, no one is willing to tell anyone it looks crap!
Mate really nice job on the render!! I agree with others regarding the lights! Brodes is spot on about the rubber strip around the window, even a recess outside the plane might work.
For me the floor is a bit glossy and over bumped, and the chairs way to glossy mate!
Looks like you could have used better map to the exterior brickwork.
Given that you have likely been using the unbiased option to render this (not fam with Podium) the bulb geometry I'd imagine is throwing your render times up so high, they probably need image lighting rather that a direct emitter, though bit of PS will get you quickly back from here!
Look forward to the next from the oven!
Hey and don't forget to feel welcome to throw back crit, only way we get better! Without it we would all have blooming renders! lol!

about crits....ive had the harshest crits you can possibly imagine at university so these comments really do not offend me whatsoever. public crits are the worst with like 50 people watching and participating in your utter embarassment!
yes bloom is crap. although i only added a very slight ammount in PP to disguise the noise from the emitter. Blooms instantly makes your render look fake and dreamy.
podium doesnt have biased/unbiased options or hdr lighting. so unfortunately you get what you are given sometimes. I really didnt want to use an emitter but the sharp shadows I normally get are killing me. yes chairs are very glossy thank you haha also there is no preview of how your material would render so that is also killing me. But apparently Version 2 addresses all these problems.
exterior brick work is arroway texture but it keeps rendering funny.
trhanks for crits, please keep them up its the only way to learn!

Is it the camera field of view that seems to be distorting the chair seats on the left and the floor in the foreground? (Sometimes this is intentional.)
By the way, I have a poster copy of the big mural on the left side. Looks good in its place in the image.
Overall, good work.

yeah fov is quite high but it looked better. I have a print of the painting too! I also did my own version with plaster and acrylic on hardboard, looks awesome!

love to see what this looks like (and render time) rendered in the new Twilight if you care to compare.
i'm sure if you could post the file someone else might make the compare for you.BTW, awsome model and render. the biggest thing i see is if the chairs aren't supposed to be faux wood (vinyl) then i don't know why they would be that shiny?
-
for brick you might try going to ACME or Belden's websites. They both have free software to create your own brick and it looks fabulous.

it dosn't appear that that software is available any more. (free anyway). every link i try is dead!
-
very odd, I just tried them both and got errors as well. I'm sure they're still available and free, it's basically a marketing tool for them to sell their stuff to architects. But the websites do indeed seem to be having some temporary issues. Might not help you this time but I'd definately try it again later.

Very nice image Oliver!
Podium is your friend.Just one little crit if I may: the legs on those chairs look very heavy.
Otherwise, this is a great work!I must say I agree with Richard that using too much bloom can screw up a render.
Often people use it to cover up flaws or a lack of color bleeding .
In this case, you don't need it. -
Oliver, I'm impress, You are really the podium master for me...
I like the grain and the mood of your composition.
Congratulation, Fred. -
I would post the file but it's very big. I'll make a reduced version with good layering. I'd be interested to see which app could render it the best.
I know you can get better, more realistic results with other renderers but I don't have the time to learn anything else at the moment. Podium is very very fast. In that its totally integrated in sketchup and the workflow is very simple. This render only takes 10 minutes with sunlight and all omnis/bumps/reflections at full quality/anti-alias. I am sure the twilight render would look more real, but 90% of the time I do not require anything remotely photoreal. Sometimes you can give a client too much too early, thats my problem anyway. I would love to be a vray or vue guru but i dont have the time unfortunately. Some vray renders are just breathtaking.
Thanks Biebel for your comments, your renders have inspired me to up my game. Yes the chairs do look heavyweight dont they, kinda like big toy chairs!! I agree they are too shiny but nothing that cant be sorted out.
Brodie thanks for the link, i had problems accessing it too but I'll keep checking it out.
cheers fymoro, i put a lot of effort into the details! but theres always room for more!
