Bathrooms

[Kr0no]

Hi there, here's 2 bathroom I've done the 2 past days, c&c most welcome.

Shadows are a bit sharp. That and the flat floor tile material are killing the realism that's working so well elsewhere in the image, for me.

[Kr0no]

Thx for the comments, all the mat and color are the client choice, for the floor it was ask for a mat tile with that color and texture, not sure how or what I could do to give it some more depth, for the sharp shadows, I have a vray ies and and a vraylight plane in the light tube, not sure how I can soften those shadows,( you can't control the shadows softeness in these type of light or can you?) any ideas?

The shadows look ok to me as they are coming from a spotlight, which is practically a point source.
Without any daylight coming in, that's what I would expect to see.

As for the tiles, I think a slight VRayDirt on the edges would make all the difference.

My floor is mapped with tile mat with texture for the tiles and noise for the grout, I have a map for the diffuse,reflect and the bump, so the geometry is completely flat, How the vraydirt AO can be affected by my bump map? Since its not geometry the AO doesnt seem to see the bump as the geometry would, doesnt seem to work either with displacement.....I m adding the vraydirt map in my diffuse with a composite in multiply mode over my tiles, but it looks like theirs no option to control the dirt with a map

Thx for the info, I ll give it a try, what about the plain vraylight, in plane or sphere mode? and what about the switch that PaulDryzden was talking about?

Look over a couple of ies files we have here including the erco lib and none of them are set in minus values. Here s an exemple ( took a random files in the lib)

That ones 1.15m by 0.06m
change the .06 to something bigger and test again, if you still dont get soft shadows something else is up. Are you using vray ies or standard?

[Kr0no]

Im using Vrayies.
