Here are some interiors that are done in V-Ray 5. The VFB LightMix is awesome!
Lovely work Bobby, always wanted to see you doing some modern designs!
Yeah, nice stuff, Bobby!
Thank you! It was a breeze in V-Ray 5. The LightMix made a lot of difference.
These are looking lovely!
Good job! there is a nice contrast in this one that I like . are you using the new Filmic Tone-mapping ? I get very nice result with it .
a small thing, but in the second image there is something off about these 2 armchairs, maybe they are a bit too bright? ot it is something in post .
Otherwise nice work .
I assume the balcony is modeled, and I read in another thread that you exposed to the interior. How did you prevent the balcony and its furniture from being over exposed?
100% VFB. I used auto exposure and I put the sun behind where there are no windows. The outside is a VRay light material, on a plane, and I increased the multiplier until it looked good.
Didnt the componsate exposure tick work?
Yes, like a charm. I exposed to a region render in the inside.
I think Morne means the check box in the vraylightmaterial that compensates exposure to camera so you don’t have to dial in the multiplier.
But coming back to the balcony. If you exposed perfectly for the interior, wasn’t the balcony and the furniture on the balcony overexposed? I assume they are modeled and not part of the outside vraylightmaterial.
Yes, exactly
Got it… I do often check the compensation for the camera, but I think I did both here. The balcony is modeled and part of the scene, but it exposed just fine. I am not too sure how it worked out, but it did.
From which library collection is that couch?
3dsky, I believe.
Hey @glorybound lovely renders I love how the kitchen top material turned out + the background images are matching well, did you shoot them yourself from the actual location?
Lovely work Bobby!
The client sent those over. I had to clean them up, but they worked well.
Very nice renderings!
To use the light mixer did you render with the lights brighter then you otherwise might have and without any color to the lights? Then make adjustments in the VFB?
That is my understanding of the suggested workflow for using lightmixer…but I have not yet had a project to try it out on. Workflow is still limited…but real estate sales are up.
not long ago there would have been criticism for not having the outside overexposed, as it would be if using a film camera. Now, with digital cameras and photoshop, real estate photos are expected to have both the inside and outside correctly exposed, like you have done. Especially if there are nice views to see.
Even in the film days we used to hang neutral density film over windows, or use double exposure tricks to get better balance between inside and outside exposures. I typically like the outside a stop or more brighter, but it used to take great pains to balance these things before Digital and HDR.
