Doodles

[Stinkie]

Oliver, it's just a personal project. I want to do a series of large renders of mid-century and brutalist buildings (or better: scale models of said buildings) in a studio environment. My aim is to make them as realistic as I can, so I am now experimenting with different shader types, dirt, mapping, making custom maps and whatnot.

I am also acquiring a decent screen and printer calibration set, as I'd like to get this series of images printed when finished.

Stunning images mate - they'll certainly look GREAT on the wall!!!

[Stinkie]

Thanks, Richard.

Quietly doodling along.

This is turning into a WIP thread. Should any of the mods feel it ought to be moved to the WIP section, please go ahead.

Don't worry, I think it belongs to gallery. Nice work.
Judging from the first picture I would say that you must be a fan of Sironi & Terragni.

[Stinkie]

I'd not heard of Sironi before, I must admit. I am, however, a fan of De Chirico's. (Though not of his later work. )

Really? You will love his work.
Agree about De Chirico's later work.

looking good
!

[Stinkie]

Thanks, Jeff.

This is another test -no global illumination. I like the previous one better, but this one rendered roughly 50% faster. Which is kinda interesting.

This is erm ... something.

Great stuff Tom!

[Stinkie]

Thanks, Tina.

Doodling ... I wonder, can anyone guess which renderer I used? (Trying to determine whether this is going in the direction I'd like.)

[pibuz]

I think I'll go with Indigo Renderer!

[tinanne]

Podium?

[Stinkie]

@ Filippo: Wrong, but thanks. I must be doing something right.
@ Tina: No -I'd have a hard time pulling this off with Podium, I think.

It's weird how you chose apps from the opposite ends of the rendering spectrum.

Presto of course!

Loving the image by the way

[Stinkie]

Thanks, Oliver. And ... you're wrong. It's Modo. I guess I've reached a point where I can make any renderer looks as crap as any other.

Presto ... hmm, let's see how 1.3 handles this.

[olishea]

The renderer doesn't matter, as long as people can't immediately identify what it is then I believe you've hit your goal. It's just what's best for you in terms of render speed and setup speed. If it's a two click operation then even better, but rare of course! Yeah the new thea is supposed to be a massive improvement but I've not had any time to play with it. I need a new computer too, seems mobile phones are more powerful than my mac now!!
