A couple new Kerkythea renderings.
-
I haven't made a post here in a while- between work and school, I've not had many opportunities to work on rendering. Here are a couple rooms that I have recently rendered using SU2KT

Calvin
These are fantastic renders.
Is that a bumped or displaced texture on chairs in second image? as it works brilliantly.
You have the lighting nailed in both.
-
Great renders. I love seeing a nice sunny room for once, but there's much more. Neat colors and designs.
-
Wow..you nailed it! Like the lighting and materials very much...well done.

Thank you solo ! I used a bump for the chairs
. The compliments are much appreciated everyone. Thank you! -
great work man...really did a good job using kerk on these
-
Wow they are great. Like Solo, I particularly like the chair.
-
I congratulate you very good job.
that the method used to render your images? -
Thank you. I used MLT rendering method for both. They rendered in about 20 hours or so.
-
Good stuff.
Only thing i can think of (really scraping the barrel here) si the composition of the 2nd image looks a little odd. It seems like there isnt anything else in the room. hard to think of anything you could add to the image to alleviate the problem, though, as you risk distracting the viewer.
-
Beautifully detailed work! I love them! Keep it up
. -
20 hours? the truth is much time, but good, so it is with the method MLT
which machine you use for rendering? that size used to draw the pictures?
greetings -
Calvin, you hit the ball out of the park with these two.
-
Very nice models and renders Calvin! It's a shame KT is so slow at rendering as the more I see of it the more impressed I am with the results (in skilled hands)!
-
the truth that if, that is very slow kerkythea when using these kinds of settings, but also can get high quality renders with the remaining configurations (from 10 to 17 on all), nothing more to be configured many more parameters ray, textures, lights and reflections, but in a medium machine you can have a rendering in a couple of hours at a size of 2000x1200 for example, I speak from my experience nothing more.

Thanks again for all of your comments. Daniel- small world, I'm from Johnson City.. not far up the road from you. I have only been rendering for about 5 months now, so I'm still learning. Kerkythea is the only rendering engine that I have used, so I was just assuming that MLT in KT was the same as any other application. The sometimes 2 or 3 day render time didn't bother me really.. until now, THANKS ! haha j/k. I occasionally will use a quicker method, but MLT usually gives me the most accurate and strongest result. Any suggestions for a quicker render?
-
Those are brilliant examples of what can be achieved with KT.
Looking forward to some more...BTW, ever thought about doing a texturing and lighting tutorial for all us struggling KT users?
-
Ah thanks! but I, by no means, feel qualified for teaching ... yet , haha. But who knows, we may be able to help each other.. you all are welcome to email me- calvinclawson@gmail.com or message me on aim flatpointblank .. I love talkin about this stuff

Hi Calvin,
Very nice renderings, and i have seen that they use your picture in the Kerkythea web site, wow !!
bye.

Calvin, I think those are great models but I am not as enthusiastic about the lighting as the other reviewers. For one thing I would expect soemr refelction on the floor from the recessed ceiling lights unless it is carpeted.Next I would turn on that big handging light over the Buddha and make sure its color temp was quite warm to contrast with the cold daylight. I would also brighten the hallway. My impression that the default settings many people use results in interiors that are way too dark.
I feel better about the lighting in the blue room, but it might be useful to think less like an architect and more like an interior designer. The room crys out to be accessorized. Even if a modern simplicity is the goal you should consider adding elements like some plants to create foreground framing which will add more depth to the picture. Less is more except in those cases where more is more. This could be one of those cases. put some plates dishes and flowers on the table.
Someone said they were afraid of distracting the viewer. For me, I want to distract the viewer and lead the viewer to an exciting visual experience. Zen gardens are the ultimate in simplicity, but they are also powerful and dynamic in leading the viewer to predefined experiences.
All said and done, I like both renders, but they could be more exciting. I can just hear the clock ticking in an empty space.Yo have the modeling and rendering aced. To go higher, I would tackle lighting, depth and a touch of drama.
