Hey everybody. I'm currently making a model of my livingroom and I just wantet to show the progress so far. I'm still making small changes every now and then so it's not finished yet. I know the curtains are completly identical but besides that I would like some C&C. BTW it has rendered for approx 12 hours. Enjoy:
Oh and a giant thanks to Ono for making this render!

Nice pic Kåre !
Can you post your tonemapping settings please ? I wonder if we can improve these parameters... Hdri or physical sky ?

Thanks for the comments! I'll take a reference picture soon and post it.
@CTZn: my settings(They are quite random, so if anyone has some advice I'll be greatful):
Code: Select all
<tonemapping>
<reinhard>
<pre_scale>3.000000</pre_scale>
<post_scale>7.000000</post_scale>
<burn>3.000</burn>
</reinhard>
</tonemapping>
and it's physical sky

Code: Select all
<pre_scale>3.000000</pre_scale>
<post_scale>7.000000</post_scale>
post_scale is too high I think, that's why the image seems burned.
I would increase pre_scale a bit, and lower post_scale if I where you.

How did you model the couch? What software?
I haven't been able to get that "soft" cushion look myself. I end up with bricks rofl.

I agree with drBouvierLeduc, try same value for <pre_scale> and <burn>, around 8 for meshlights but for sun I'm not sure. Let <post_scale> alone at 1 or 1.3. My bet.
Edit: or better, set <burn> to twice <pre_scale>. Works good here.

Thanks for the help with the tonemapping. I'm playing around with it right now.
@zsouthboy: the couch is modeled in blender like the rest of the scene. If it helps you there's a wire
here.
I think one of the most important thinks when making a couch is the material. It can't look soft with a shiny material.
@VictorJapi: A asume you refer to the comming up GUI for tonemapping. I can't wait.

Brilliant render. I can spend hours looking at it for evidence that it's a render. Very nice. You have quite an impressive photobucket portfolio going on there. Wanna share your fender blender model?

Did you save an EXR? If you did then you should try combine 2 exposures from the EXR in photoshop - ie. have one with a low exposure which shows the windows and the outside minus the burn and one with a moderate exposure to get a nice intensity for the interior?

Thanks again for the nice comments.
@neepneep. I didn't save the EXR. I don't even have photoshop (I'm really(!) bad at postprocessing)
@DaveC: Thanks a lot. As long as you only use it for personel stuff you can have the fender. Just give me a mail-adress and I'll send it (if I can find the .blend, it's quite old)
Here's just another pic from a different angel and with tonemapping:
Code: Select all
<pre_scale>30.000000</pre_scale>
<post_scale>1.000000</post_scale>
<burn>60.000</burn>
I know the sofa is floating - you couldn't see it from the other angle so I forgot to model some legs...
