Study Interior - my first Twilight render

Post by archibeam » Tue Oct 04, 2011 6:30 pm

Glad to have gotten my hands on twilight :D I have been using KT for some time now and decided to experiment with Twilight. This is my first render in Twilight and have decided to post it here for comments.

Thanks

Hi Archibeam, very nice render!
If you want to take it up to the next level, the books models and textures need some work.

Licensed users get access to these:
Architectural books for interior. or see here

Next, the brick seems odd for an interior.
The desk chair - the back of the chair - seems like it could use more detail for the model.
The computer screen needs some kind of image. :!

If you like blue, try using this http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ybpq5zhL-RU/T ... _death.gif :mrgreen:
I like the carpet, but not the carpet's edge... you might want to tweak it a little. Also the landscape seen trough window is too vivid, seems too much like a poster on a wall. You might want to correlate the lighting from the landscape you use with your Sun shadows. Try using HDRI images for sky and landscape. Or, if you use plain images, as "matte paint", be sure that lighting in the image doesn't contradict your shadows.
Good luck !

Thanks for your feedback. Here is a revised image of the same with a few changes; wall texture, chair at desk, external environment, rug edges, computer image and the books. I have rendered this with preset 10 to about 80 passes. Comments and crits are very much welcome once again.

It looks better :D.
Yet, the furniture material and missing plinth are bothering me. There could be more to improve, like small rounding on wall corners: 1-2mm; a small bump/reflection map on the walls, realistic color of the artificial light http://planetpixelemporium.com/tutorialpages/light.html , a more realistic curtain and so on.

But compared to first image, this one has real improvements. :clap: :^:
And after a little play in Photoshop it can look even better :mrgreen:

Indeed is sad, at such price is no more a "can't afford" issue, but rather a morality problem.
Btw... talking about TW versions. Any news about TW2 ? :mrgreen: I would like (and not only me) to hear something, to see something that let us dreaming to a better future :totgm:
