Paul Russam΄s Church and Indigo

Paul Russam

Woh! that's a bit freaky - seeing your name as a topic title.

Now that's looking good, here's a photo of the real thing:

Paul,

That's for sharing the photo, and for inspiring us all with your incredible model!

Whaat

P.S. Do you have any other models you are willing to share??

As I said when I first "went to" Paul's Church; INCREDIBLE work Paul!! Your work is so good that I thought the photo was a render of your model!!

Thanks for sharing Whaat's renders George!

Cheers,

CraigD

Wow Paul, your modeling skills are really good.(both church as that latest project) and i must say whaat captured it really well in Inndigo....

For a moment I though that real photo was the next of Whaat's renderings
Great job Whaat! (and thank you for Skindigo which works really well !!)

Paul, hats off on your model. really excellent. jut looking the amount of details, i could never hold my words to appreciate your work. btw the rendering is also good. but really high5 for the model by looking on that photo.

A couple of people have PM'd me asking for the model, so for a limited time I'll put it on the su.porta.ca site. Its large so I don't want to use the space for too long.

Paul you are a true gentelman.
Thanks.

Whaat

Thanks so much for sharing these models, Paul!

Here's an (almost) one-click render from Indigo. The only things I did was add the ground plane, adjust the camera angle, and add a little reflection to the windows. This one cooked for about 25 minutes.

Whaat

Here's another that I let cook for just under an hour. Just added an environment map that I found for free on the net and did a bit of post-pro to adjust the exposure and add some slight bloom.

Paul Russam

Woh, that was quick of you, looking good, could you do one of the entrance area, I'm interested as to how that would come out.

Do you want to see the real thing?

Go to http://maps.live.com You'll probably have to be using internet explorer.
Change the search criteria to 'Location' and enter the following address:
"54 north street, lurgan, northern ireland, uk"

Change to 'Birds eye' view and there you go.

Excellent quality images, whats the building in fron of church? looks like the SS headquaters.

Paul Russam

Its a nursing home, but its shape has been commented on before, believe me

Hope you don't mind I ran your church through Podium, using noisy settings for 30 passes (about 9 minutes)

threw in a sky and logo in PSP.

I opted not to render an exact model, rather to change up the textures for another look (this way it doesn't seem like a challenge rather a rendering of a fantasticly modelled church)

For a bigger picture with lots of finer detail.

Wow, that looks good, its got a winter feel to it

They look good to me too. The viewpoint make them look a bit spooky-traditionally this kind of architecture is presented in a 2-point perspective.

Solo,

Nice renders! I wish I had your artistic eye...great background image!
Here are two more done with Indigo.

Whaat, those are awesome, the first one looks like a photo. My rig ain't strong enough to smoothly navigate the interior, you did another fine job of that too. I especially like the lighting.
can Indigo do bloom? as having sunlight filter through the stained glass with a bloom effect would be amazing.

Thanks! To me, the second one looks more like a photo. I was trying to get a flashbulb type effect. I am going to try to tweak the stained glass material to get more contrast and less light bleeding (like the photo Paul provided.)

Yes, Indigo can do bloom. However, it is not efficient for Indigo to calculate bloom during a render. That's why there is no option to turn on bloom in the SkIndigo interface. It is better to add it in post-pro using 'Violet' (stand alone Indigo tonemapper application available on the Indigo website).

another one of the entrance...
