Minimalist House - 2 Rendering Settings

First topic message reminder :

After days of figuring out how to get a good workflow on HDRI lighting, I finally came up with 2 of my preferred outputs. (Pakiignore ng accuracy ng sun position sa scenes I just chose what fits nicely in the views that were rendered.)

The first scene (day) was done using Vray Dome light with an EXR file. Render color mapping is at Reinhard 1, .25, 2.2 (Gamma). No system gamma correction was made.

The second scene was using Arkibon's method (see http://www.cgpinoy.org/t9583-added-updated-hrdi-with-settings-el-grande-de-mediterranean-house?highlight=el+grande ). Except this scene employed a sunset view, with an HDRI map instead of an EXR, no vray dome light. Color mapping is set to Linear, 1, 1, 1. (Gamma correction is turned on, 2.2)

Both scenes were postprocessed in some way similar to RQUI's great render thread.

It is not important to suggest the camera and sun settings - those can be tweaked further (as I did while following the tutorials) to suit your preferred exposure, lighting, etc. For both scenes, Environment map was set to the appropriate HDRI / EXR map used.

I think both methods work well, it's just a matter of preference really. Somehow I tend to gravitate more towards Arkibon's setting.

Comments, as always, are appreciated!

I would agree din sir. Upon observation mas maganda ang representation ng materials and ung color ng pool mas matingkad. Maaachieve din yan sa 2nd option kung ang environment override is either ung vray sky or blue na tone

ang galing nyo sir. 3dmax po ba yan? pti vray?

superb!!!

great set sir celes (as always). dami ko rin natutunan sa mga comments hehe.

That's one helluva cantilever! Yeah I'd go with the first image also, Peter Guthrie knows his thang.

Wow i should try Peter Guthrie settings galing ng color distribution, i just wondering bakit di lumabas ang right color sa second image.. thanks idol celes.

actually pareho yan arkibons. iba lang kasi ang positioning ng sun.

Wow! Guthrie method (color mapping/VFB curves). The best method for non-LWF and closest to LWF. Kung me option lang sa batch render. Ok sana kung merong bypass yung curves. Anyone?

Right I got! halos pareho lang pala ang color output using the same setting different sun position pala kaya iba ang output compared to 1st image. thanks a lot master, i-try ko din ang mo settings mostly ito na ginagamit d2 sa cgpinoy. thanks for sharing.

tfs din arkibons sa yo ngspawn ang unang settings niyan hehe, hindi ke peter guthrie

master celes actually yong settings na yan ay variation ng settings mo na napost mo d2 dati. thanks..

great!

Nice render sir celes... ito rin ang problema ko.. may time na gusto kong bumalik sa non LWF lalo na kung nagmamadali at kelangan ng mga everchuchu na models.. right now naghahanap parin ako ng non-lwf setting na medyo malapit sa lwf. sinubukan ko din yang 1,.25,2.2 reinhard ni peter guthrie(gamma/lut off) pero washout ang mga models kahit naka curve correction na..

Image1 for me if binebenta mo yung black concrete finish (i love that finish), Image two for personal works

try mo ang exponential 2,3, 1.5 na setting.

natry ko na po sir... medyo ok po pero since 3 ang burn value medyo maliwanag po sya.. anyways thanks po sir. experiment parin ako..
