Kitchen remodel
-
Here are some renders of a kitchen remodel that I've been working on, would of liked to fuss with these a little more cause somethings quite not right but can't put my finger on it. Anyway, an interesting project for me cause not only did I get to do the modeling and rendering, I did the actual design, helped in material selection (client wanted a very green project), did the construction drawings, and helped in the selection of a contractor. The green part, all existing interior doors, appliances, cabinets are being donated to a second hand material supplier to keep job debris going to the dump to a minimum, the insulation is Icyene LD R 50 spray foam (made from castor plants), the gypsum board is Serious Materials EcoRock, the paint is a Sherwin Williams low VOC product, the cabinets are Greenway Cabinetry Breathe Easy cabinets (made from FSC certified plywood and bamboo faces and doors constructed with no formaldyde glues and low VOC finishes), the flooring is Crossville Ecocycle tile (made with recycled glass, the countertops are Vetrazzo (also made with recycled glass), the tile backsplashes are Hakati Asland Series (also recycled glass), the recessed lighting is Energy Star rated Juno LED cans, the faucets are Deltas 1.5 gpm,the ac system is a high effiency Mitsubishi, and all the new appliances are Energy Star rated. Sorry for the long post but like I said this was a very interesting project for me and the first that was so green. Any and all c&c on the renders and design much appreciated.

Mike, what did you render with? I think the exposure on the camera is a little off. There is a definitely something going on with the wall material (or could be the door) as there is an over abundance of color bleeding. I think the exterior image should be changed and the exposure increased.
Here's a quick 3 minutes in photoshop to adjust the contrast and exposure of the first image. It's better, but you can see the issue with the walls.
Great space you've created and some really nice potential renders. Good work!!

Adam, these were rendered with Vray and I don't know why I was getting so much color bleeding, especially on that one wall and door, and the ceiling above the fridge and double oven, never had an issue with this. I tried changing some of my settings but at 6 to 7 hours per render at 4500x2700, I didn't get to keep making changes and rerendering. I also tried to fix it in photoshop but my results were similair to yours and when printed seemed to make the problem worse. As far as the exterior, I probably could fiddle with the exposure but I don't want to change the background as thats the actual view that the client would see. Thanks for the comments and if you know what setting in Vray affects color bleeding please let me know.

Mike,
Are you using a default sketchup material on that door? I've had similar issues with Vray and the default SU material in the past.
-
Adam, it's just one of the off white colors on the door and the ceiling but its the walls that are bleeding onto the door and ceiling. The wall material was one of the Sherwin Williams skms posted on the forum awhile back, Liviable Green I believe. I wonder if adding a slight bump to the walls would help.

Adding a bump might help to break up the bleeding a little, but it won't resolve it totally. Is it Vray for SU? Do you have a reflection layer on the paint material? It has to be something with that wall material. Everything else in the scene is perfect.
-
Adam, yes its VfSU and no reflection on walls, got me stumped.
