Bathroom render test (healthcare)

[rhshah]

I am doing a rendering of a bathroom using SU 6 and Vray 1.05.03.
Please have your C&C on this. Also, is there a way to smooth the surfaces of WC and seat as shown in red? They come out bit faceted. Would smooth and subdiv do this? or any other plug in. These blocks are imported as acad 3d objects.
Thanks very much in anticipation of your reply.

Re: Bathroom render test (healthcare)

did you use the soften edges of sketchup?

yeap smooth and subdivide will definitely help.

if you are in with smooth stuf, what you can do is to increase the number of edges of your arcs and circles during modelling. or import some good 3ds files. on the contrary su will slowdown...

Thanks nomeradona.
That was quick. how do i increase number of edges of circles and arcs in SU?
and would you be able to recomend any good website for downloading smooth models of WC and seat like i have shown here?

Tahsnk very much

Re: Bathroom render test (healthcare)

when you select the arc tool, just watch for the number of segments in the corner of the view-port( I think you'll see 12 or 24), and without clicking in the scene type the number of segments you want (48,64,128 but don't go too crazy) and push enter.For free 3ds, I'm always go here:

Good Luck!

easy,, when you select the circle or arc tool there is this VCB (value control box) you can type the number of edges. once number has been typed, you can now draw the object.

stefan is right with the link there. we all love that site.

You can bring 3DS models into Sketchup? I thought you could only use sketchup models?

Re: Bathroom render test (healthcare)

thansk very much stefan and nomeradona.
You guys are always very helpful. I will keep this VCB settings in mind for future modelling. For these models i tried SU soften faces but when you render, v-ray renders faceted geometry. So i guess it doesnt pick up soften faces by SU.

I will visit archibase and see if i can get wall hung WC and seat similar to i use here so taht i can import it in this secene?

Any C&C on overall image lighting and material?

yes west absolutely. but too many polygons will easily slows sketshup so beware.

dont mention it..

ok as fro lighting. i think ligthing is too flat everyting is illuminated. so the drama isnt there. but i do beleive you will soon be familiar with this soft and you will definitely will have much better output in the future.

materials.. some of your porcelaine and chrome are nice, i think work out more on bump, blurry reflection etc...

Re: Bathroom render test (healthcare)

Nomeradona,

Thanks for your comments on lighting. Would you mind giving me some tips on lighting for scenes like this?

Lighting: I am using GI with sun size 8. I then have big rectangular light behind camera with very low intensity and then have 600 x 600 rec light (visible) on the ceiling with 30 intensity. I am using physical camera with 125 shutter speed, F-number 8, and iso 125.

Indirect illumination: primary IR,1 and secondary: LC,0.9

Image sampler: Adptive subdivision, min/max rate: -1/2 and thresold: 0.03
DMC sampler: adaptive amount: 0.833, min samples: 8, noise thresold: 0.005, subdiv mult: 1.5
Color mapping: HSV Exponential, dark multiplier: 1, bright multiplier: 0.85 and all three buttons ticked on right



IM: min/ma:-4/-1, Hsph subdiv: 50, samples:50, color thresold:0.375, normal thresold:0.19, distance thresold:0.12, Interpolation type: Least suqare fit, Sample lookup type: density based,

LC: Subdiv: 2000, sample size: 0.007, Scale:screen, num. phases:2, prefilter:32,use for glossy ticked,

Material: I used defalut crome and blue & white wall panels are solid colors. I havent applied any noise or bump to it (do i need to apply bump or monise to it?). I tried to apply textue to the floor but doesnt work very well either. Its like a vinyl floor. But tahts ok, i guess.
