Apartment Renovation

Oh dear, even more reason to part with my hardearned cash...

So is this renderready stuff a community effort? i.e. could I configure components to be 'render ready for Twilight' and then have it approved and uploaded to Formfonts? Would be cool as it could help get a lot of FF objects suitable for Twilight quickly.

This idea has been discussed, yes... and yes, there's a sharing portion to Form Fonts.

Looks like somewhere more than 50 models are Render Ready for Twilight... you can search their site for "Twilight".

To answer your question, I did not have to change too many of the textures of the components from FormFonts before they were right for Twilight. The only RenderReady component I used is the tea kettle. My biggest concern material wise was all the metals being the same. The client wanted a stainless steel finish throughout the kitchen and a brushed nickle look in the bathroom, so I had to go through everything I created and brought in from FormFonts and make sure all they had the appropriate material settings. Most of the other materials rendered just fine under the default settings (of course Fletch caught me slacking a little with the wine glass on the counter ). I am looking forward to seeing the RenderReady library growing with time.

Those are great. And it is nice to see my tea kettle in use

I felt the kettle worked perfectly in my little kitchen. Majid, to answer your simple question with a long overdue answer: I used .900 for the can lights and and for the hanging pendent lights in the kitchen. In the bathroom, I have a value of .75 for the wall sconces and .900 for the ceiling cans again. It might look a little better if I lower the power level on the wall sconces down to .6 or even .55 but that's for when I get a free moment which is not going to happen anytime soon as I am currently moving in the next few weeks.
