Church fryrender test
-
Recently purchased Fryrender and this was an initial test using an HDR for lighting and sky. The model was done by Ivica, I was only messing with a mood for the render. Post composition done in Lightroom 2. Over time I will be adding the textures to the model for a better finish. This was only done to play with HDR lighting within Fry and set up a decent Sepia/BW in lightroom 2.
Comment welcome.

nice...you've definitley set a mood there... cant wait to see it textured...
-
Thanks Jason. Not sure If I am going to go for a real dark, almost evil look or not. It is a free time work so it will be a bit before I can finish it I am sure.

I like the mood. Very nice work.

Thanks guys.

very moody, looking forward to seeing it with materials
-
Awesome Scott. I love it.....even without materials.
-
Great work, I think the materials would spoil it.

Mateo,
That was my thought originally too, but I think some stained glass windows and some faint exterior textures will complete it well. After that it will be on to the interior. This will be a great work for me to really learn fryrender and being using it as another renderer even though I am finding it a little more robust than Vray for Sketchup. It will be a long process as it is just done in my free time and that is something I never have too much of

Very atmospheric Scott.
what was it that made you want to learn Fry in addition to VfSU?

Dzine,
I will continue to use Vray along with many other renderers (all just depending what the composition requires). 2 things that have me looking at using fryrender more and more are the fact that i can save a render and come back to it later starting where the program left off in the render, and the debut of SWAP by fryrender. If you have not seen SWAP it is well worth looking into. Being able to change matrials (any material) in a render after the render is complete is a big selling point. There is also the feature much like multilight in maxwell. All of this and the fact that fryrender has far more material controls than Vray are some reasons for me purchasing it. I am always one for having more than just one toolset at my disposal for doing a job. Now they just need to release a plugin for Modo and I will be a happy man. Believe me it is well worth checking out and I think it is at a fair price as well as far as renderers go. I would also suggest Adobe's lightroom for anyone lookig to have a great image editor. it is not another photoshop though. it is like a digital darkroom giving you full control over all aspects of an image. It works well with digital photos too.

nah, definiltey needs some subtle subtle materials.. in lieu of the clay, will end up looking pretty similar, i'm sure..
-
I've had a look at Swap and it does look good. Certainly would be a time saver when an architect wants to see material varations on a scheme which of course is rare event indeed...

Dzine,
I would love for that to be a rare event but working for an interior design/build firm it happens more often than not. The thing with SWAP is we will be pitching the fact that we can show optional materials to a client during a meeting. We have done this before using a totally different process and it worked and went over really well. We actually have found that it has saved time and money for all parties involved. We do not need to go back and forth with a client via email or sending a sales person out to meet with a client. We have a nice large LCD in our conference room that I hook up during meetings with clients. We really have found that the interactiveness of this type of meeting has gone over great with clients. We have also received more work from word of mouth for just this type of presentation. We have set up a wireless network so I can get to my main computer from my laptop while in a meeting so it keeps from having to load up the laptop with all the files or textures needed for a meeting. Overall it took some time to set all this up but in the end we have found it to be well worth it. Once we get SWAP I think it will really make client meetings almost a fun experience. The only problem we have found is meetings end up going longer as people want to see every option available, so my advice to anyone looking to do this is get a certain group of materials pre-approved by the client prior to the meeting otherwise you will spend hours going over the smallest details.

Yeah I can imagine that sort of thing would impress a client. I wonder how long it would take for one of these renders to take before going into Swap. However, other people are reporting that its not quite as simple as the movie files suggest. A case of too good to be true?

Dzine,
I can image it would be too hard (still have not ordered yet though). It is a matter of swapping out materials. The rest of it is done by Fry. Really doubt it is a matter of too good to be true as they do a great job with Fry and keep developing it. I will let you know as soon as we purchase it and I have a chance to play with it.
