Ronen Beckerman ‘The Museum’ Challenge

[Zom-B]

Hey Guys,

Ronen Beckerman started a new Challange based on Mies van der Rohe’s Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin.
The Challange is restricted to Maxwell renderings, so no free choice a weapons here

I decided to give it a try with Indigo anyway and hope for some great images for my Portfolio and a gain in skill regarding outdoor rendering.

maybe some of you are willing to give it a try too

here are the first WIP images:

I signed up and figured I'd do it in Indigo anyway for kicks, but I haven't got the time to devote to it, so I promptly backed out without so much as an attempt :/

Keep us updated with your progress!

I'm also keen to see updates on this scene, cheers for giving it a shot in spite of the restrictive rules Zom-B!

I'm booked for this week with another Job, and hope to get some time on the weekend for it :/

Kein stress!

2nd pic looks good, LOL at church texture....

A trip to the sea over the weekend crushed my planes to work further on the scene -.-
Also that week will be quite full with work...
Seems like I started that thread to early

The church is a Googel Maps model with incredible low resolution textures ^^

Don't worry about it mate, my "working weekend" could have been more productive too

[Zom-B]

I found some spare time between work to focus on more statues, Google Earth Buildings and some vegetation.
In the render you can see that the blocky Google Earth meshes with low res Textures are quite usable if you at least use some DOF blur

The "Broken Obelisk" still needs some texture tweaking... darker & more saturated.
The Floor tiles are also still a placeholder... I would like to use some concrete plates with some random grass splatted in the grooves between them.

Sadly There is no option to use step blend for Alpha PNGs, therefor there is some evil noise in the trees...
