Sukiya v2 - Japanese Tea House

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. I’ve redone an older scene from about a year ago - applying new techniques and a better understanding of Vray:

Thanks to Flipside for showing me a PS diffuse trick.

Here is a link to the old one:

Looks fantastic!

The only weird thing is the background image looks too brite or too saturated or something…

What specifically is your PS diffuse trick? I have a couple such tricks, but I’m curious how you did it.

:shock: great renderings,
the only small thing: i think in the 2. image the outside can fit a little better.
but maybe personal thing.

I think you’re right - it could be reduced a little.

the only small thing: i think in the 2. image the outside can fit a little better.

Another person commented on this too and he thought it was personal taste. Perhaps lowering saturation would help some.

great!

yeah the background is off…i think it should be overexposed and maybe a little blurrier than now…

the other thing is the windows…they look somehow …flat…?

appart from that the lighting on those is great! 8)

i’am sorry, i’ve wrote the reply during clifton it does, saw his comment after.
so don’t worry :slight_smile:

Update:

Outstanding!

hum… :?
i just guess that with the amount of light comin in, that picture would either have the outside extremely bright, or the inside way darker…just my 2 cents… :wink:
other then that is great!

great work juju, still have to fix that BG imo, but great render my friend, congrats.

marco

:shock:
Well, that’s just great, congrats

Looks very clean and realistic! Great work 8)

Bingo

Wou, nice and zen :slight_smile:

congrats

Good work Jujubee, sorry but you really need to fix the BG :wink: it kill your very good image IMHO
PS: I prefer your first pict.

lol, told ya you needed to change the background all together :smile:

Great work mate, wood is PERFECT IMO!!

Lovely! I agree that wood looks fantastic. The irregularity of the finish on the table and benches is tasty.

As for the background image that’s been mentioned, I feel that more than the value and saturation, that the perspective is very slightly off, making it appear flat upon second glance. Of course, I have no idea how one would go about matching the perspective in such a case, since there’s no regular vanishing points.

But this is nitpicking, especially coming from a beginner as myself, as I’d be ecstatic to get such great results myself! Very nice work.

Nice work…

“Thanks to Flipside for showing me a PS diffuse trick” could you share this one please.

I agree… the wood is beautiful ! Vey nice rework.

nice renders so far.

What i think in the secound immage, where the opening is, it would look much more realistic if you could see more light comming in compared to the paper wals at the opening.

What ever light there is outside, when you have an opening this more light should be also visible on the wood in front of the opening and also at the ceiling ? above the opening.

otherwise the outside always will look like a maped paper

@ jujubee

Can you share the wood texture of the table, with the bump map as well.
Looks very very good. If not a problem of course !
Thanks.
