[WIP] Reconstruction of my favorite disco Palladium New York
-
At the moment I'm learning about projection in twilight. So I'm going to reconstruct my favorite night club: NY's famous palladium and try to enlight it.
This is just the start. I'm going on vacation and will continue next week.
-
Looking forward to seeing what you do with it Jo. Enjoy your holiday
-
I'm back and I'm going to continue that project.
Here's what I'm going to remodel: The Palladium club was located in New York, it was an old theatre, which was reconstructed in the mid 80ties to a big nightclub, with one of the best lightshows i have seen so far. The backside of the stage was painted by keith haring. It was pulled down in 1998 make place for a new building. here are some pictures and videos of the original:

here are the first two twilight- renders (with some trange results)
-
jo-ke: how come you don't post on twilight forum? you'd get much more direct help.
-
This is a good idea. I will do that in addition.
here's a small render took 3 hours with preset low
-
I would suggest sorting out your lighting/gobo projections first before using the fog material. it really really slows down render time so use it right at the end.
like the silhouettes! looking good
-
what do you mean by "sorting"? At the moment the beams doesn't work anymore. I added some other lights to the scene, I don't know what happend but the "fogbeams" doesn't render anymore.
-
I mean making sure the rest of the lighting works before you play with beams.
With a fog material the camera must be outside the" fog box" or it won't render (for bias) and the camera must be inside the fog box for unbias (progressive presets)
-
I was using preset low and the camera was definitely outside the fogbeams.
I have an older version and the render in the same position still works, but not at the new verson.
here's another one without beam (but with preset 11, so I expected no beams)
-
a small render after 4 and a half hours with preset low.
I think I make the big one, when I'm out...
-
Looking good!
-
my notebook has rendered all nicht long. here's the result
-
here's another one:
-
I'd say you've captured the nightclub look perfectly. Which is not an easy thing to do with so many lights and odd shadows.
-
yesterday I rebuild the famous stairs with the lights. I rendered the scene again in twilight with preset low for 12 hours. I don't know what happend but the beams weren't rendered right to the end.
-
same scene, preset 10 for 6 houres without volumetrics
-
at the moment I'm working on an update of this old project:
first test render
