Shell chair - Hans Wegner

[Dave R]

I forgot to mention that I like those vertical lines in the seat back surface. They look like scratches that were there before the wood was re-varnished. And the color and texture just makes it look used. I think that used look is what is missing in a lot of renders. I'm sure it is difficult to get that look but for me, it's what tells me it's a computer generated thing and not a photograph. as I said, though, I don't think most folks would notice the things I pointed out.

Great model and rendering, Massimo! I made some "more vintage" looks for your awesome image. I hope you don't mind...
Regards,
Stefan

Thanks Stefan, I don't mind at all and good work (maybe the vignetting is just a bit too strong).
Anyway I have to say that I prefer the "original" image as it looks more "natural" to my eyes.

[massimo]

An update, now also the legs and stretchers have an aged look.

Looks like it was used hard and then refinished. Nice, nice.

[massimo]

Thanks again Dave.
Another couple of shots. Added a roughness map to the varnish of the woods and increased a bit the % of the roughness in order to have a different finishing.

Bellisimo!

Is this a coating applied in Thea?

Any chance I can see the Scattering and Structure settings? And Coating if you used it?

[massimo]

Grazie Rich.
Yes the wood mats have a stacked coating layer. Here are the settings I've used. As roughness map on the coating layer I've used the specular map. Only for the plywood I've increased the % of the roughness of the coating to 40.

Nice, I love the way you bang your head off the light each time you stand up

[Dave R]

Very nice work. You almost make me want to learn to do photo-realistic renders.

[massimo]

Glad for that Dave.
Yeah Rich, it's a way to remember how much you spent for that chandelier...

[KarinaGM]

Ohh that floor! That door! Those woods!!!
Perfect render massimo
