Rendering Challenge - Bathroom sink

brodie

Thanks Brodie, I just found it odd that the quality of the photorender is often more important than the subject matter. For example I design bridges and if I do a great photorender (ha!), the public will comment on the picture and not the bridge!

I guess I would like to see a topic where the subject matter is also addressed. Did the image "sell" you the design or is the photorender the dominant feature.

Thanks for the great feedback!

I think it all goes back your one of your original questions as to what the "point" is of the rendering. Much of what you see here on SCF is posted either to impress fellow renderer/modelers (90% of the kitchen renderings you see) or to get rendering/modeling advice from peers in the field. I think mostly where people get into what your talking about is with critiques on things such as lighting and camera position which can both liven up a dull rendering even if the dull rendering is plenty realistic.

Al, it started as a quick and grainy unbiased render. Then I took it into Corel and worked at it with a couple different brushes and my Wacom Tablet. No real tricks...just doodled until I was semi-satisfied.

Here's the original render. Nothing too special.

Thanks,

I saw a presentation by Jim Leggitt earlier this year where they started and ended with all kinds og things to make the NPR results. Such as coloring a hidden line drawing as well as modifying rendered drawings.

We have been trying to add "one button" aids for NPR Rendering - such as the option to overlay the rendering with Sketchy Edges - (there is a sample earlier in this thread). So I am always looking ideas of what people do in Photoshop, which could easily be added as a post-process to a renderer.

Heres My take on the challenge.

Nice work.

Did you do everything in SketchUp.

Did you apply the pencil as materials, or as watermark overlay?

rdluther

Nope I went for speed... output linework and shaddows as a JPEG a colored everything in photoshop in about 20min.

Nice,if that was my bathroom, I would be driven crazy.

This weeks Workshop was fun - I hope we all picked up some good ideas.

For the next workshop, I chose something a little more fun - cars.

Come check it out: Rendering Workshop - Model Cars

better check i think your material editor exploded!

This thread is interesting for seeing the effect of different approaches. For PR I find I am looking more critically at the product, how the bowl looks, how the counter is finished. In the NPR I feel the impact of the overall concept is the focus and I am not concerned about the details so much. If the woman is in there, I tend to look at her. Anyway, funny, I find cars more boring than bathroom sinks. It has to do with my line of work, and I must be working too much.

We all had a lot of fun with the Lego Rendering, so lets try something new.

Here is a 3D Warehouse model of a Bathroom Pedestal Sink:

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

Lets place it in a room and try some rendering ideas on it.
(It is OK to put other geometry into the room - but lets keep this a "Rendering Challenge" not a "Modelling challange")

Hi Al Hart,
I like this 3D Warehouse Model. I love to try it. So tell me how can i get this to play?...

7 years late to the party, man!

The same vanity/sink is found in this model:

3D Warehouse

3D Warehouse is a website of searchable, pre-made 3D models that works seamlessly with SketchUp.

Hi Hart,
I see you pic is look nice. How did you made this???

Al Hart

This model is now a sample model for the ArielVision rendering package.

http://www.renderplus.com/arielvision/wk/ArielVision_Sample_Models.htm

The mirror, and other items in the image which show highlights or reflections were made reflective by right-clicking on the material in SketchUp, and selecting a default reflection:

And some lights were placed on the ceiling. (Some small lights were also placed inside of the candles)

ArielVision then create a Photorealistic image by processing all the effects of lights and reflection and creating a rendered image.
