Kitchen Designs

[bob-cat]

Hi,

We are almost finished a project with a kitchen design and material company showcasing some of their products.
They didn't want any blow-outs and minimum reflections on the materials which we found hard to get right with LWF.
Every camera also had a slightly different lighting setup which became difficult to manage over 14 shots, and probably became a bit too complicated in hindsight.

Some other Info:

- LWF with HDRI for the reflections and most of the lighting.
- The reflection HDRI multipliers were very low values compared to the lighting.
- IR+LC, DMC @ 1,50 and noise @ 0.005
- All images rendered @ 5x5k
- Render time averaged around 3.5 hours each with one going for 6hours (DR rendering over 4 x Dual quad cores with 16GB each).
- All the main material subsdisvisions were around 50.

Will probably end up re-rendering some/alot of these again, so would appreciate your comments.

Kind regards
Troy

Nice work as usual Troy. Where did you get your HDRIs from?

Extremely nice and clean. Only thing I'm missing is stronger contact shadows between the floor and the stools on the second image. Apart from that, flawless.

Thanks Bruce - the HDRI's were pretty mixed for the different kitchen types:
For the modern type kitchen we used Hyper Focal Designs "RoadTrees01" and HDRSource's "40-Castle-Island-Path-01"
The traditional kitchen was "Halibut-Point-State-Park-Pond-02" (HDRSource) and "HDR_Hill02" Hyper Focal Designs.

Thanks Bertrand, and thanks for picking the stools up - they are probably floating

Also I forgot to mention there was no color mapping - "don't affect colours" - Thanks Chris for that tip - things take a while to sink in

Very nice, I agree regarding the stools

Very nice lighting. It is a pity that they didn't want reflections.
You can do another render with reflections in your free time
