Residential new build

[francomanko]

So a series of images produced for a Kiwi client using vray 3.6 and maya. They also wanted a 30sec anim which, having not made one for a looooong time, turned out to be a bit of a nightmare. My own fault really, but if I had quoted incorporating the cost of using a renderfarm service they would never have agreed on the price, so I had to suck it up to get the job. Wont be doing that again.

I have to say it wasnt a smooth ride with Vray with really long start times due to the proxies and the animated camera lightcache, but the main problem was using MASH for planting, just flakey as hell, crashes, scene corruption galore. Probably time to move to 3dsmax....come on vray universal license...hurry up already

Anyway.....

And they also wanted 2 internal renders, but without any real dressing. Wasnt the most exciting interior but they were a good bunch of people to work for.

Looks good. The camera is a little high for my taste, but that's me. What is MASH planting?

[francomanko]

Cheers fella. Mash is a motiongfx type tool in Maya, that you can use for all sorts of cool things, scattering too...but like a lot of maya cool tools, its flakey.

The exterior views have an unnatural composition because of the camera height... I would move it down and don't abuse the vertical correction.

Thanks for advice, appreciate it
