Hey guy, I fink so little repeted, the granit, On Photoshop, make a new bitmap with randon propriet.

Use the Off-set filter to do it, ok

Are You using HDR?

This is a beatiful image, nice to you!

Hey Natty:

Can you give a quick explanation of taking a sky only HDRI?

Are you just shooting up at the sky and then tiling the HDRI across a plane?

Do you look to get the sun (if present) in it or do you solely rely on the VRay Light?

well the way i do it (right or wrong) is to take a shot of the sky with my digital camera, take that image into HDRI Shop, convert the image to a Floating point Tiff and then just take that into max as the envitoment and vray skylight..... and yes the vray light as a spere on very low just to get nicer shadows and better illumination...... very basic ...but works for me every time.

re

impressive...just don't tell them that.

[cpnichols]

natty... one thing I do when I have a lot of tiling, as you do on the granite, is to make a larger map. With somehting like that granite, it is easy, simple make a larger canvas size in potatoeshop and use the clone brush to copy the noise around... that way you can use a larger map size in MAX and the tiling will not be as obvious as it is now.

the client was over the moon with the results.
and now wants an animation which i will also post in the next couple of days.

railing

hi..if im right, the railing height is a bit off especially relative to the steps..in the original picture you can see the first vertical post almost touching the top of the stairs and yours is just reaching the 4th step..that would make your railing height only 400mm in height(especially if 1 step equals 180 - 200)...i might be wrong cause its based on view.

[natty]

yeah dude your right .... did you do a search on Natty or something .... one hell of an old post dude
