  • Interior - Bathroom

    Just wrapped up a series of images for a residential bathroom. The client wants to see a number of different tiles, so I've rendered 3 views of the bathroom showing 3 different tiles for a total of 9 images. However, here, I'm only showing each view with 1 each of the 3 tiles... no real need to show all 9!! And more than likely the client will look at these and say, "oh, I think I need to see more options"... hehe...

    All the 1" tile is modeled. Though not shown here, there were some tile samples that had a lot of translucency to them. So, I had to plan for that. So each tile has thickness and grout modeled between each tile. You'll also see that on 2 of the images, the tiles have a iridescent film on them. This was kinda tricky but I think I pulled it off ok. The faucets are Kohler and I was able to pull 3d models off their site, but the quality is sketchy and I had to remodel 1 or 2 of those... still made it easier than doing it from scratch though.

    Comments always welcome....

        ya, I agree about the bathtub. Part of it might be that I'm using 16mm lens and so naturally objects in the center of the image may appear smaller than they really are. This job is actually a renovation of an existing bathroom (see attachment) so I've got to abide by all the measurements taken by the interior designers.

        I'd love to do something more artistic with the camera angles, but you know how clients are sometimes... they just want to see what it's like when you walk right in the room. Not zoomed in to capture some nice details or whatnot. Maybe if I get some free time, I can render out a couple extra views.

        -maxer - how about if I dropped some panties on the floor, some chocolate covered strawberries (with the chocolate all melted), a few tossed towels.... would the wine glasses fit then??? hehehe.... (again, I plead innocent.... interior designers idea!!!)

            Nice Work

            I'd love to do something more artistic with the camera angles, but you know how clients are sometimes... they just want to see what it's like when you walk right in the room.

            As usual the clients and Inferior Desecrators [This is what Frank Lloyd Wright called interior Designers] Get in the way of producing nice images.

            You also need to remind the client that what you would see in a 16 mm lens is so far removed from what it would look like in real life it's not funny.
            Human eyes are equivalent to approx a 50mm lens so if you want to see what the eyes would see then you must use something close to this. Unfortunately this won't allow you to see the whole room in one image, but in reality you can't see the whole bathroom with your own eyes if you stand where the camera is.

            The more we try to educate our clients & architects, etc, then the more likely we will be able to do some realistic camera angles.

            Note to all 3D artists!!

            Kill the 16-18mm lenses!!! They are so over used in our industry & we all need to unite to stop clients thinking this is the only way to view things.

            Cheers

              I think the photo of the existing is good lighting inspiration for your images and it does seem like its out of scale - maybe again down to the lens.

              I also have wondered about these things and the over use of the wideangle lens, and I agree 16mm is too distorted.

              But also we are generally trying to create a photograph, as seen through a camera lens, not our eyes and many architectural photographers use wide angle lens, but maybe not that distorted.

              So as a comprimise you could pull the camera out of the room and use bigger lens to get rid of the distortion and use clipping planes to ommit walls right inforn of the camera?

              Food for thought anyway.

                I agree the wideangles are a bit odd looking at times, but disagree that using a wideangle for a shot like this is wrong, and don't think they should be killed and that even the client is wrong for asking for it.

                The point is it's not a supposed to exactly show what the human eye only sees, cameras don't have to perfectly emulate human eyes - otherwise why would 300mm lenses or fisheyes exist? - if this were a print in a magazine, and it was a 50mm shot, sure you'd not have a clue what was going on in the room. You could argue that you could have several 50mm shots showing all the details in the room but that's extra work for your brain! Trying to work out what is where. If you look at it from an almost diagramatic point of view, one wideangle image shows it all in a glance - it does work.

                If however you want to do something a bit more artsy, the types of image most of us prefer to do, definitely kill the wideangle in that case. Wideangle isn't always wrong though! I can't understand the aversion to it.

                  Wide angle cameras are neither wrong nor right.......All I said is that they are over used far too often and therefore that's what people see & get used to.
                  As usual you do what is necessary to get the job done & please the client.

                  I know photography is very different than the human eye....I just made the point about 50mm equivilant lens to show clients that if they want the human eye look that is what is required. Personally I rarely go over 35mm unless it's detail work.

                  This is what I was on about 16mm = Odd looking & 50mm = artsy
                  nothing is wrong or right just take your pick for end result you want
