Hi people, was realy tempted to test out the Corona renderer. So created a small interior scene, just to test the posibilities and I love it.
As i have both left hands while adjusting hell lot of a settings in V-Ray, the simplicity of Corona was just genius.
Will try it in the exterior renders next, to see how it works.
Yeah, your “tests” look much better than most of images submitted to gallery section. There are some minor issues like chair’s base intersecting with carpet and I’m not sure about the blueish glow effect on chair in the last render. But still, great renders!
Thanks maru, yeah, there’s an issue with chair leg intersection with the carpet.
Allesandro, thank you for your coment.
Kubiak, there’s nothing mutch to talk about lighting, it’s corona sun+sky with corona portals in the windows. I Attached the settings.
For the postprocessing in photoshop i used magic bullet and it’s diffusion, vignete, anamorphic flare and chromatic abberation filters, then in photoshop adjusted curves (linear contrast preset), adjusted the color balance. Duplicated the main image twice and used it in overlay and screen modes with opacity of 20-40%. Could share the PSD file, but i wasn’t bothering to save it
Thanks for the coment. I’m ataching the curtain material settings. I Used both, the transluency and refraction with falloff map assigned to refraction slot. Hope it helps.
4-6 hours per image, some renders (kitchen shots) were left overnight, so ~8 hours. In 2000x1500px resolution, some noise was removed in photoshop, and renders are not very clean, but some noise doesn’t bother me, because sharp and clean renders are not my style and it was initialy done for corona testing.
My computer configuration is absolutely nothing special, because i work on a laptop, with intel core i7 2660qm 2ghz, and 8 gb ram.
Overall, really like the interior design, the detail, the style of those furniture. Specially the mood of the natural lighting, sun shinning through the windows. Great !
Thanks for the comments everyone The Guys from Evermotion asked me to prepare a “making of”, about this scene, so it should be awailable sometime near. Hope it will be informative
Was starting to have fun with Corona in exterior mode aaaaaand… ran out of RAM. Looks like my 8 gigs are not enough, so i was limited to use only like 5 variations of trees+few bushes, so they’re quite repetitive.
Anyway pt+pt, everythings default except msi=100. HDRI for the lighting and photoshop for postprocessing.
Oh and could Corona’a frame buffer have a magic button to save all the render passes in a single click, like V-Ray do in the future releases?
