Wembley Stadium images - Vray rendered

[Nenad]

(...) Only critisism i would have about this is its kinda too cold in color scheme. Im sure therer would be flags or something hanging all around. or booths. some color would be nice (...)

I agree with you, but the design is by Sir Norman Foster, the guy who almost always works in grayscale mode, which makes these images pretty realistic.

ok. what about props then....the place looks sooo clean yet there isnt one garbage can. Im new to the archetectural game so im not sure if props and stuff would normally be added to give it a more realistic feel or if its just a structural rendering.

a trick to interior/exteriors

one thing i notice although they are great images is a slight lack of color.
what i do is do the vray environment override - and saturate the blue quite a bit more, then make my sunlight very yellow/orange.
then i turn all of the object multipliers to 2.0 and turn off secondary bounces. this will also make your rendering go quicker.
let me know if that helps at all.
best.

Hi nenad, I just said this because he posted similar stuff in another thread. Indeed I should stay calm aswell, but hey, that's me, can't help it

Flipside, it's obvious to me that you're not the one who caused problems on the forum. I didn't mean anything against you, just trying to make us all ignore peppers posts ...

We can forget him now.

Dr Pepper: I am not adverse to constructive critism if it comes from an authoritive point of view, otherwise how would we improve! I do find it quite funny that your statement mentioned 'you had been there and it looks nothing like that' it is maybe because it is not actually built yet. Give me something on some foundation that i can comment back on or just don't bother hey!

As for the colours, yes Sir Norman fosters palette might not be to some peoples taste, but as I see over and over there is little room for artistic representation in architectural rendering as this is against the image that the architect has in their minds eye. Most architects are not educated in the process of rendering (nor do they want to be) which makes them almost laymen in terms of our industry (i am generalising here but is more and more the case). Makes it quite frustrating sometimes.
I think that rendering is always about describing the best intentions of a space and as an architectural renderer I can be very political in the decisions i make as to how best portray a building, putting objects like say 'garbage cans' implies there is going to be rubbish - detracting from the purpose of the image which the viewer can get fixated on. As with architecture itself, there are always going to be compromises - limited by deadlines,but sometimes you have to just call it a day when everyones happy with it!

Yeah, the columns were using vray reflections with glossy set fairly high still (so no blurring). Something i am not sure about in the current build is if the vray material can do radial anisotropy on flat objects - maybe something to put in the general section of the forum.

Bingo. You're absolutely right Mossy.

Architectural images are not about what we want to show, it's about creating a vision which reflects the design intent and also appeals to the general public.

Architects do have a strong sense of rendering though but a slightly different sense to what 3D artists have. That's why they're quite pedantic about the image being perfect (trust me, I'm an architect and I'm pendantic too!!). But like Mossy said, it helps us improve.

Excellent images by the way. The composition is great and the lighting really reflects Sir Normans strong use of natural daylighting. Please keep
posting more of your work!!!!!!

Oh, I forgot to ask.

Are these images stills from an animation?
How long did it take to render?
Did you use VRayLights in the windows or just a direct light and env?

Sorry about all the questions. Although I love using VRay for exteriors, I'm still reluctanct to drop Lightscape and move to VRay for my interiors so
I'm trying to find out about everyone's experiences to give me the courage to finally put Lightscape to rest.

Thanks.

As for the colours, yes Sir Norman fosters palette might not be to some peoples taste, but as I see over and over there is little room for artistic representation in architectural rendering as this is against the image that the architect has in their minds eye.

It's always the question in which stage of a project an architect needs an rendering.

When doing renderings for an architectural competiton, most architects want/need the creative energy of 3d artists who can abstract a project to a point where the jury can see "the project".
This is the stage where you mostly have to listen to the architect and you know how he sees his project.. then it's easy to capture the image. ..and yes ..architects are pendantic ..somehow.

When a rendering is made for selling a project to the public you have to power up all resources to do that cheezy photorealistic renderings which can be done without any artistic approach.... it's the work where you mostly can leave your brain at home ...well..not really , but it's not that fun than working on competitons. The problem in that stage is that to many ppl (from architect to marketing to gfx-artist of brochure) want different things on a rendering.

well hmm...


anyway..isn't it a nice job we all have?
