      Hey guys, I just completed some pre-visuals for a group of investors that are planning to scoop up some old and partly abandoned textile factories in 'old town' Dallas, part of the Deep Ellum district. They plan to convert them into studio, one and two bedroom apartments as well as industrial lofts. Here are a few visuals that were not used for final presentation, hence I can show them here, too bad the final ones cannot be used as they really are much better.

      Best seen from my site as it has a 'tween' effect: http://solosplace.com/RENOVATIONS.aspx

        Wow, was that a Java applet in your site? Doesn't seem to be a video, as the transitions load fast.
        You seem to be mastering interior rendering in a short time! 👍

          Very nice! I just love the amount of detail you've put in it 👍

          Is the picture on the wall originally like this? I mean like turned 90 degrees clockwise?

            😲
            that background's a HDRI right? What render engine is this?

              Nice renders. Model has lots of detail, where the glass is set and the electric socket.

                I find it hard to imagine there were renders better than these 😄

                What renderer did you use? i remembers you saying you were looking to find a decent solution for interiors, is this it? (certainly looks it.)

                  Gorgeous renders!! These are top class interior renders.
                  The glass looks perfect to me, especially the glass reflection on the picture in 2nd image.
                  They have a great feel to them.

                  As already mentioned, the little details really improve things. I love the doors and blinds. Are these from 3dwh, or did you model?

                  Which renderer did you use Pete?

                    Very nice feel to images. Also video work looks great.
                    I noticed colour bending to walls and ceiling. Is that due to postprocess or sampling?

                      pete, great work indeed.

                      do not your clients have a website were they post the work you did for them? if so, this is a way for you to show us the other renders without infringing any contract.

                        Pete...I am once again amazed at how you can time and again disappear into the boards then emerge with something brand new and so beautiful...WOW!

                          👍 👍 Excellent, excellent work. In love with that painting on the wall. The tone of the images almost have a Hypershot feel...a la Nomeranda, but I'm guessing this is Vue's radiosity engine in the masters hands.

                          The video is very provocative. Is this done through a screen record and adjustment of opacity levels in PSP?

                            Thanks guys.

                            Miguel, I guess it must be some sort of java thing (I'm clueless about these things) I really wanted to use a different slide show but it was Silverlight based which meant that folk without IE would need to install a gizmo for it to work, too bad as it was fantastic looking.

                            Hugo, the picture is a Sascha Hüttenhain photo, and yes that is the correct orientation.

                            Ultimatez, it's not an HDRI, the background was added in post edit (including reflections)As I needed the city orientation to be correct with view, and with HDRI I had no control.

                            Remus, Dylan and Adam, I originally started with Twilight of which I did a bedroom scene using a MLT setting, however as the deadline approached I realised that rendering 8 hours per image was going to take me 9 days so I shipped the model to Max and used Vray for Max.

                            Sid, I noticed the banding also, thankfully the selected images do not have this issue.

                            Edson, Once the financing is approved and the project is underway then I'm sure they will create a site in order to pre sell the units and my images will be used, I will keep you posted.

                            Adam, funny thing, I have both Sony Vegas and After effects yet I use Windows movie maker (free) the most, as I did here.

                            Another image that did not make it as the view was supposed to be looking down and out not up and in 😒

                              It's impressive how clean the images are! I mean the whole scene organization and the final output. 👍

                              What rendering program did you use?
                              I know you are great with Vue: I'd be happy to be wrong, but these doesn't look Vue renderings.

                                  Nice images, Pete

                                  They make me believe that the original idea of "loft" living is still somewhat valid in the U.S. When Finnish developers get hold of a property like that they try to cram in as many and as small apartments as possible. Or were the images from the only large one?...

                                    Pete, does the photo have a name or anything? I can't seem to find it on Sascha's website.

                                        Brodie, I stumbled upon Sascha's work from a model I found on the WH, here is the model: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=32870e435048ffdfc8e7fe73f8db5f38&prevstart=0

                                        There are no lights, all scenes including the loft, apartment and foyer escalator are only lit by sun.

                                          Solo, these are fantastic, really.
                                          I LOVE the firts video, with the trasitions between Sketchy screen and render, I think this is really convincing. Vray for Max really have an edge compared to others engines. It is quite difficult, more than others, but I can easily spot the qulity once you get to know how to use it 😄

                                          Congratulations. Details are really amazing. They do the render. ❗

                                            There are four units that are like this of what I know, I have only been given the plans for one of the industrial building renovations, so there may indeed be more. There are many smaller units that could be described as 'crammed', they are the ones that will get the best city views, studio and efficiencies that will draw the single professional. The large industrial units with exposed pipes and utilities, and which have a mezzanine option are marketed as 'artist' studio lofts. I believe that they had no choice of dividing the area any further, structurally and financially and also think that this industrial look will be a very retro option that will sell well (depending on price that is)
