Indigo Renderer Forum

Hello everyone,

I've been rendering with indigo (& skindigo) for the past few years, but recently I've started using it more and more - so much so I bought a licence and upgraded my pc spec

Here's a few of my renders over the years. I would appreciate any comments/tips/etc.
I've done many more - but the quality of some of them is even worse than these!

I use it mostly for my course (architecture) however I do random renders every now and then to test things.

Apologies again for the rubbish quality - most of these were in older versions of indigo and on a rubbish desktop pc.

Thanks,

Gjengi

Love the arch. models!

Hey gjengi

Great work!! those arch massings are awesome.

I am too an architect in training, it's great to see Indigo been used and not just bad Mental Ray or Sketchup screen shots.

on a side note, I did a massing render similar to yours a while back for my studies, and my tutor gave me a big lecture on how if i made a physical model then i should bring it to the crit.. After his 5min talk on the importance of physical modeling with real materials I told him it was a render, the poor guy nearly had an heart attack.

Keep up the good work

No apologies necessary. Your renders certainly are not rubbish.
Actually - and forgive me if I use the wrong terminology as I am not an Architect - I find the architectural renders with the cardboard and wooden structures quite nice!

Wow, very impressive renders gjengi!

Good that you're not lurking anymore, such renders deserve more attention

Hi gjengi!
It's very exciting to see an architect colleague exploring the art of Indigo and SkIndigo!!!

Hope to see some more of your work soon!

Thanks everyone!! Thanks for all the praise - I love using indigo as it's so intuitive and accurate. I'm doing my bit for the indigo crew and promoting it to my course mates as much as possible!

I wonder if I'm one of the only female indigo renderers too????

I'm currently working on a new project for my course, so I probably won't produce any full renders to show everyone until the beginning of December - but I might upload a few random ones in-between!

Hi Pibuz and triplej28 - nice to see fellow architects on here too. It's true about the tutors and there amazement when you tell them it's a render. I think the architecture model style renders actually tend to be the most effective sometimes - even over the photo realistic renders. They also take a lot less time and processing power and don't give too much away (just to show the concept at least!).

Thanks again,

gjengi

I loved those renderings! keep it up. I am new here so i look forward to learn from talented guys such as ur self.

I've been busy doing some renders for a current housing project I'm doing at uni.
Here's a few that I've done over the last few days - the rest are still rendering away!!
I know the vegetation isn't great - I've not had the time to spend doing it all that well. I may have stolen the kitchen from an earlier model....

Third image looks very nice and realistic. I definitely like this type of schematic visualizations and "cuts". The only small critic might be the repeated texture pattern of the dark brown material (possibly wood)

Thanks dakiru
Yeah, I couldn't seem to get a good timber texture without paying some money - and seeing as I'm a lowly student, that wasn't going to happen! I just settled on something that got the idea across, without being too in your face. If anyone has a texture they can give me, i'd very much appreciate it hehe

And another one...

It seems to have taken a very long time to clear up though - on 4200samples per pixel and still noisy - I suppose it's the file size

Panels.jpg is seriously cool. Upload to the gallery! Maybe under 'interiors'

These sites will give you wood for sure.

Thanks dag! Not sure if there was a pun in there somewhere... I'm a girl tho, so not sure it applies!
I've found one that I reckon suits the look I'm going for. What do you think?

Now to re-render all my scenes...urgh
