Interior Rendering Shot

I know I already posted this a ways back on the AutoDesk customer's files site; but I figured that I too would try my best to fill up Zoog's hard drive.

Very nice! What material are you using for glass block?

[hand471037]

Pretty much everything in that shot is a custom procedural texture that I made. The glass block is simply a tile procedural. Accurender is way limited in it's materials in comparison to something like Truespace (which I also use) or Viz, so you have to layer the procedurals a ton to make up for it. I almost always use procedurals, for they work more predictably than a bitmap and don't have tiling problems.

Here's the shot I ment to post the first time...
Watch out for those pixel size limits!

Congrats Jeffery,

This is our "image of the week" for the week of 5/19!

Zoog, I don't know what that means, but it sounds good!

Thanks!

Check out the Home Page out. It's on the lower left.

Wow! Thanks!

So Jeffrey, what'dja render it with?

Viz/Truespace/Revit or something else? (by the looks of those plants, I'd say Accurender inside of Revit?)

I agree completely with Accurenders limited abilities. They're not bad but not a lot of options. I also don't like the fact that we don't have much control over texturing in Revit that we have in Accurender for Acad.

There's got to be a happy medium somewhere in between Accurender and Viz.

This was done enterly within Revit using it's built-in Accurender. I haven't had the time to make a really good looking Revit model and bring it into TrueSpace to do a 'super-high-quality' rendering. I just use Truespace because it's what I own. I'd like to start using Radience, an open-source Linux rendering engine that is better than *everything* else, but it's a little over my head. Gotta learn more.

I wish we had the material editor from Viz Render, but the Sun/Radiosity and plants from Accurender. IMHO the radiosity in VIZ 4 is kinda a kludge and counter-intunitive. It looks nice, but man, after sitting through a class on Radiosity in VIZ 4, and seeing how much work it was to get a good solution out of it ('Radiosity override material' my ***- that's the dumbest thing I've ever seen, and I live in San Francisco, and have seen some king-*** dumbness in the last few years, I tell ya) I wanted to run away screaming...
