Mansion 2 - 2018

[glorybound]

Another one of these white mansions. I know, kind of heavy on the color grading, but this is what this client likes.

Great work. Besides being gorgeous renders, I admire how fast you bang these things out. Keep it up man

[glorybound]

Thank you! I wish I had more time to do some vinnetes and close-up detail shots, but I don't have the time.

[glorybound]

Some updates. I got really long render times after moving to V-Ray NEXT. The times about doubled. It might just be this projects; we'll see.

white balance looks a lot better in the latest renders

[glorybound]

Yes, I kept working on them after the client signed off. For some reason, he likes the overly warm look.

How do you grade them?

[glorybound]

A few steps in PS. Here are some other evening shots.

You should try phase one for grading if you are interested .Has controls that are similar to movie grading applications, which make for subtle but powerful colours . Easy to use too .

I'll check it out, thank you!

Yep .
Has great micro sharpening too and HDR tools .I love it.
only apps like davinci resolve give greater and easier tools for colour grading and I would love to use it on images. But free version is limited to 4k and it's kind of a hassle to use it for images as it is made for videos .

I downloaded and installed it, along with a couple drivers it needed. I launched and it was looking for a specific extension, so I removed everything. I'll look at it again, maybe watch some videos first.

[MANUEL_MOUSIOL]

That's strange. Cant remember that it needs anything special.
just realized I was a little unspecific .It's called capture one
