Hey glorybound lovely renders I love how the kitchen top material turned out + the background images are matching well, did you shoot them yourself from the actual location?

The client sent those over. I had to clean them up, but they worked well.

Very nice renderings!

To use the light mixer did you render with the lights brighter then you otherwise might have and without any color to the lights? Then make adjustments in the VFB?

That is my understanding of the suggested workflow for using lightmixer...but I have not yet had a project to try it out on. Workflow is still limited....but real estate sales are up.

not long ago there would have been criticism for not having the outside overexposed, as it would be if using a film camera. Now, with digital cameras and photoshop, real estate photos are expected to have both the inside and outside correctly exposed, like you have done. Especially if there are nice views to see.

Even in the film days we used to hang neutral density film over windows, or use double exposure tricks to get better balance between inside and outside exposures. I typically like the outside a stop or more brighter, but it used to take great pains to balance these things before Digital and HDR.

That’s cool. Not that long ago I would get regular feedback about how having the inside and outside exposures balanced in renderings was not “realistic”. Most of the renderings had fantastic views out of the windows that were big selling points and had to be shown nicely lit.

It is totally a personal taste thing. Is it realistic? No, because film couldn't hold the dynamic range, and neither could our eyes. But you could always wait until dusk or dawn and get the balance just right with nature. It just meant you had to act quickly, as dusk and dawn don't last very long.

It was always a judgement call, and it still is. It all depends on what you are trying to say with the image.
