Ideal Home Magazine Challenge
-
I recently set myself a 3D modeling/visualisation challenge to replicate the front cover of a Homes magazine (Ideal Home - it's printed in the UK). I thought this would have been a useful exercise to demonstrate just how accurate and effective photo-real software truly is.
Here's the two final images (the original and my version).
And here's the link to the blog post I wrote about this challenge.

very convincing, nice result!

Great job. Very close. How did you handle getting the same textures and images as the original.

Thank you! For such a small scene, it really was time consuming to replicate! I know that some of the components aren't a complete match (the arm of the sofa and the orange lamp could be more curved) but the colour balance was a HUGE issue! And I just couldn't get the grey in the cushions to match!! I'm putting this down to the graphics people editing the image of the original front cover quite a lot. For example, the paint colour on the wall in the original front cover does not reflect the ACTUAL paint colour at all. It's much darker in reality. So this challenge was really about using the Level/Colour Balance/Curves in Photoshop to try and get the toning in my replication to match!!
I have a pretty decent collection of textures/bump maps in my own library, so I used a lot of those but the wood texture on the coffee table was a tricky one to reproduce. I had to avail of Photoshop quite a bit to try and make it look similar.
The rug was a nightmare. That was the closest Herringbone texture I could find! I couldn't get the shelving unit to be positioned at the same angle as the original image. I'm wondering if artistic license was used in the original to make it appear so parallel to the camera? I could have removed parts of the shelves to make appear that way too but I didn't want to play around with my final image too much because it might have looked a bit 'off'.

Cheers! I know, I thought about that and I was going to change the name to a fictitious one but that would have taken away from the overall aesthetics/impact! If they send me a strongly worded email threatening court action, obviously I'll change it
