Violin and trumpet (Testrender with DOF)

[fluke73]

Here's a test render of mine - trying to play with materials and DOF settings.

The objects are borrowed from http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/

The violin (by Gully Foyle):

And the trumpet (by Stephen):

I used the HDR image kitchen_probe.hdr from
http://www.debevec.org/Probes/



The groundplane with the wooden texture is created by me. The violin had a wooden texture but i had to add the finnishing to it.

I did some modifications to the objects to make them suit my setup, like adding strings to the violin. Minor post-production in photoshop such as sharpen.

Comments & Critics are welcome

Good Job!

Best render with VfSU so far.

Could you please share this scene with everybody? It would really help me to understand DOF and HDRI image settings.

Also a good tutorial from this musical instruments scene would be very useful (ASGVIS Team!!)


Again, congratulations!

woODs.

Thank you woods

It's a quite simple setup there is only one light setup and that is from the HDR image. I don't know settings for the HDR image. The only thing that i thought was difficullt was to get the DOF right and to get the glossyness on the violin to look good

I'll see if i can make a package of the setup and files. But i don't have time to look into it now.

Thanks again.

yes indeed a very nice rendering. It brings a smile to my face to think that these results can be attained with sketchup and a plugin renderer.

One important omission in my last post...

You need Sketchup, Vray and then the most important thing.....a talented person pushing the mouse arround.

It would appear that Tony is just such a talented person.

Nomeradona: Thank you for that comment. Feels nice that i made you think twice about this solution.

Thank you Radarblip for those kind words. That makes me wanna do more of this kind of work.

Im really happy with the potential power here. I have just scratched the surface of what's possible.
