Store Concept

[sirio76]

One of my latest works, it's a concept for a store.
All modeled in Cinema4D by me except mannequin, bags and shoes from Evermotion (I've rebuild all their shader since they were terrible), I've started the project in Vray 5 but I've done some quick views in 5.1 too. Post production done 99.5% in VFB and 0.5% in PS.
Metal shaders from my bundle https://www.3dtutorialandbeyond.com/...ders-cinema4d/ and some fabric shader from my upcoming fabric collection.
Hope you like it and as always comments and critics are welcome

A couple tests with a slightly different mood, let me know which one do you prefer

Some other views and a crop from a full resolution render:

These are really really good of course...definitely the second mood works better imo but it's subjective as always.

Thanks a lot! I prefer the second mood too

bloody hell that looks awesome congrats
Love your shaders!
Ayn chance porting them to max? Perhaps we woudl be able to rebuild them using the textures youre using if we bought the collection?
Cheers

We have already done that, the bundle for Max is ready, we are building the product page right now

There's an alternative version too:

These look great! Do you use any denoising?

Best regards,

Thanks a lot Vlado!
Overall Vray is awesome but to be honest the denoiser is one of the features that needs to improve on the Cinema4D version (this have been reported a few months ago: https://forums.chaosgroup.com/forum/...-vs-2020/page2 so hopefully it will be fixed ). Because of that on version 5 I tend to use a rather low threshold (up to 0.005) coupled with a very mild denoiser, otherwise all texture details will disappear.
On Vray 5.1 update just released we have the Intel denoiser that does a better job (I've used that for the detail views), seems very nice for the stills but not suitable for animations. I hope the standard denoiser quality will be back like it was on Vray 3.7 so that we can use higher threshold and reduce render time.
Other than that I'm really happy with Vray for Cinema4D and I really appreciate all the hard work from developers

If you mean the ability to denoise the lighting elements separately, there is a way to do it manually by adding the necessary render elements and checking the denoising option just for the elements you want (GI, lighting, reflections) and then recomposing back the result in the frame buffer. It's a bit more work to set up but offers more control. This works for the V-Ray denoiser and also with the OptiX/Intel denoisers.

As far as I can tell the problem is not in the ability to denoise render elements separately, it almost looks like the standard denoiser doesn't read the channels needed for denoising (diffuse filter, world normal, etc) and therefore is unable to retain texture/bump details.
Here is an example, this is a quick test just made using the Intel denoiser, it took less than a couple minutes and despite the high noise threshold (0.150) it is still able to get decent details. Now, no matter what settings you use (default or custom) with the standard denoiser, it is impossible to get texture detail like that unless you use 0.005 coupled with a very small amount of denoising.
As already said in the dedicated thread I will be more than happy to provide scene to investigate the issue

Here is an example using the standard denoiser in mild mode (a custom setup doesn't help that much), even using a much lower threshold (0.01 VS 0.15) and of course much longer render time you lose a lot more details.
