Black & White Kitchen

This is a project done at the end of 2008. I wanted to show that Ikea can build really high designed kitchen with its own cabinets and furnitures.

The black & white effect is created direclty in Vray, playing with textures (but I never use greyscale or unsaturated textures) and shaders.

The setup is
- Vray Physical Cam
- Vray Sky + Vraylights with Skylight Portal

The DOF is direclty from VRay, and it could be too much, but these images are part of serie of one main image + 4 detail with really high DOF.

As usually 3d Studio Max + Vray 1.5 + some postproduction with Photoshop CS3.

If you got some problems to see the image, I will upload the on Imageshack or similar.

Really nice images, and style.

This is stunning! Could you give us a sense of the scene’s size, polywise? You must have insane render settings for such a smooth image?

Really nice work.

fantastic work. only crit from me is that the corners of your brick walls are too sharp and lacking variety.

Amazing :open_mouth:

Wow! Great stuff! I agree about the bricks, but it is a minor crit, just great work Panda
The chairs look amazing

The bricks are panel-formed concrete… I think… But the wall is a bit sharp indeed…

Thanks guys! About the wall, it’s a panel-formed concrete, but I agree that it’s a little bit too sharp and probably I had to create some imperfections on the corners!

Very nice!

Peter Guthrie has a nice tut on his blog about how to easily create imperfections on concrete wall corners using noise and VrayEdgeTex…

Thanks BBB3 I found it!

It’s really helpfull!

great images, whats the render times

Since it was an old project I wrote something uncorect on the first page. The setup it wasn’t with the vray Sky but with different Vray lights as you can see in the screenshot.

I also used a VrayPhysical camera without the exposure but with the DOF on!

Really really sorry about it!

Also a wire screenshot!

Awesome work!

Ciao, Andrea !
Grazie for the scene setup ! :slight_smile:

Great work, shame about the DOF which looks dreadful IMhO - far too strong and instantly removes the realism from the main shot.

I like it allot ,and maybe the dof is a bit extreme but i still like it great work.
I would like to see a tutorial from you. yes i would

Great work!

Excellent work, as always, Andrea! You always succeed with the floor, looks really solid.

The one thing that I’d look into, though, is the wall which the telly hangs on. The silhouette seems too straight, given the “ruggedness” of the wall.

Other than that, top notch!
