Exterior Pool Scene

So…Here is the prelim images for my latest job. Comments and crits of course welcome…I havent decided on a sky as of yet…But let me know what I need to tweak Vray Sun/Sky Vray Camera - 100 iso, 30 SS, and f-8

-3/-1 IR and LC - Exponential mapping…and mostly standar settings around. Also…you will see in two of the images that it seems to be doing som weird things with the wood maps?? Any suggestions?

looks like flipped normals on the chairs mate…are they from sketchup ?

Hmmm I got them from TurboSquid…But then I converted the maps to vray mats and it was fine…But I am not sure that is what did it…

Mapping

You look a little washed out in parts. Have you tried the Reinhard, maybe at .5?

good lighting Eric!
Overexposed, it’s strange with exponential… and some problem on you meshes, flipped or double face.
but good contrast.
Please repost the last.
PS: try the exposimeter by ^Lele^ the little devil :lol: , it work like a charm in this kind of situation, put vray cam, a sky, expose and play :smile:
I think you can rid of these overexposed areas with it, in near one click.
:wink:

Thanx…Is the last image not showing up for ya??

Exposimeter huh…Yeah…Like I am going to trust a guy with less than 50 posts. :slight_smile: Downloaded and tried…Does it only use the settings when you hit expose or do the settings transfer to when I just hit render?? Script looks awesome…

Yeah your contrast is out of whack. YOur darks are too dark and your brights are too bight.

I PS’d 2 of them quickly to show you just abit more how they should look.
As for your wood, I would bet its double faces.


Thanx man…So…I shall post my settings if you need…But can I fix that in vray or Max? I was trying Lele’s Expose thingy…But I haven’t had a chance to play with it…We are taking the kids to the Zoo tomorrow, so I am off…The boy is gonna freak when he sees an elephant or lion…Sweet!!

Thanx

Yeah you should be able to fix that just fine in vray. Just a matter of tweaking your color mapping settings abit I would think. Or adopting gamma 2.2 for the render that might well help too. But its abit late into the project to change over now I would think.

Zoo hey, geez havnt been to a zoo in years.
Going to see some relatives are you :lol:
Sorry couldnt help it.

hehe…No relatives there…that day anyway.

Here are the settings:

and the new image

wow, what did you change between the original images and these recent ones. The new ones are quite nice!

All I really did was change the dark and bright multipliers in the Color mapping section. Thanx…Still need to add tons of LIFE to the scene and perhaps adjust a bikini or two. :slight_smile:

Well done mate, thats looking LOTS better.

Your IR map settings are a little od tho, you have min and max both at -3, you could get more detail out if it were say -3 / -1

hi:)
can u pls tell me about tiles texture?
thx

Hi there…Got those from Beldin Pavers. You can download the program and make just about anything they sell as a texture. Then I just Ps’d a bump texture and used it too.

thanks a lot :slight_smile:

That last image looks real nice

hey eric -

were those free models or did you pay for them… im looking for something similar…

tia,

Arkitec

Rmejia: Thanx…It is coming along great…Just have to meet with the owner and get a couple of pointers and feedback.

Tia: They came from Turbosquid and various other sites around the globe.

Later

Vance: or Tia…LOL…I’m an idiot
