Lincoln Center Theater Rendering

[lennartik]

Here's some renderings I've done for the Lincoln Center Theater Lobby renovation & one of the boardroom for City University of New York. It is so great to be able to render within the same program where the construction docs are made. :lol:

Welcome!

Very Nice. I like them both. The plasma screens look great. I would perfer a better material on the table, but on the whole very nice.

I like the exterior as well, the colors are fantastic, but the foreshortening of the whole thing turns me off a bit. Try adjusting the camera a bit.

I think the boardroom will be image of the week.

Thanks for the feedback! I wish the accurender took a look at the 3dmax/Viz material editor.

Here's a night view of the theater with the proposed new lighting. I added people & some other stuff in photoshop.

I like the water, a filter in photoshop? the neon lights look very realistic too, another IOTW there I think 8)

Ahhh ha! I see from the first posting how you did the water. Hope you dont mind, but I'm gonna steal that idea :lol: looks great.... Saw a really nice rendering in a magazine that has another idea I fancy pinching next time I do a rendering - all the people were transparent silhouettes, looked really good.....

Hmmmm just had another look, you even got perspective on the ripples :shock:

well I am guessing but it looks like the original rendering is done with the water as a perfectly flat mirror surface - the take the image into photoshop and apply the ripple filter, the perspectie bit I am not sure about though? maybe just masked it it strips and progressively reduced the ripple size?

He may have also done it as a glass material in AccuRender. This is a rendering I did a couple of years ago - I used glass with some ripple, reflection & a little bit of opacity to create the water effect in this pool rendering. If it were a night shot, it'd probably be even more reflective than it is.
