Looking for CGPinoy support for a noob like me

Mga Sir this is my first practice ng exterior rendition using 2010Max and vray 2.0 humihingi po ako ng tips and tuts sa inyong lahat to achieve well photorealistc render. almost 2 weeks na akong nagbabasa sa forum nyo at nagtry. sana po maguide nyo ako from my start up to the end of my thread. I think malaking help din ito sa mga baguhan tulad ko.

Thanks in advance po mga sir. Una palang ng pagbasa ko marami na akong natututunan. My model is from SU and my accesories are from ****motion. baka kasi bawal un banggitin dito. kaya****. wala din po pala akong budget pambili ng plugins and i know pirated is not allowed here. want ko po talaga matuto sana po matulungan nyo ako.

All i want to achieve is a cloudy scene in the afternoon. like ng mga nakikita kong post ng mga expert dito.

I will follow all advice up to post process and post the image after including your name as a credits. im willing to change everything for the improvement of my first rendition.

MABUHAY CGPINOY

I hope this is not too much to ask. but if i do step over cgpinoy rules please remove my post and im sorry for this.

My computer rig

My Site plan



My setup





My pre render



my RENDER_08.03.12 NO.1



*not enough environment lights

*no reflection at the window

*blurr sky image, is it?or its ok?

*wrong composition of trees it doesnt blend to others.

*please also help me do the correct way of material composition.

*and over all composition

interior i will work it out soon.

Please help me solve this if you dont mind! thanks!

Maganda na tong set up mo. kailangan mo pa ng more light. try this.

1. Hanapin mo ang glass material dito sa cgp. Palitan mo ang glass material mo para magreflect ng konti.

2. gamit ka ng vray sun, tapos naka 30 degrees lang para hapon.

3. lagyan mo ng orange color vray light (sphere) sa interior.

4. Lagyan mo din ng same sphere sa likod, under the tree, para magkaron ng konting depth ang mga puno.

Pwede mo din aralin ang HDRI. Pero kahit after na nitong suggestions ko. Good luck! You're on the right track.

Ito pala if you want to try HDRI.
Sa material. click mo ang get material, hanapin mo ang vrayhdri material. yung material na yun, idrag mo sa material slot ng vray light mo na dome. nandito yan sa cgp tutorial. search mo lang HDRI. Yan muna.

Para makuha ang photoreal na render kelangan accurate ang mga materials mo (Concrete, Wood, Glass etc), at accurate ang lighting.

Sa lighting:
kung interior madalas vraylight plane ang ginagamit.
kung exterior naman madalas vray sun or target light or vray dome light.

Maraming tutorials tungkol sa materials at lighting search mo na lang dito sa CGP or Googs. Good luck!

Mga Sir here is the update

Thanks to the ff:

Glass Tuts by cloud20, jeff & sir bok

Hdri tuts by Sir bok

Road Puddle Tuts by sir 3d Zone (kaso parang di tama yung gawa ko plan ko sana yung corner ng road meron water kaso di sya lumabas ng ayos. any advice?

*floor edited material update (parang smooth pa sya ano po palagay nyo?need some texture pa?

*trees color blending (any comment)

Next plan:

work with the wall materials. want ko sana yung madumi like nung gawa ni Sir Austrai sa entry nya kahanga talaga yun.

yung Vray sun wala pa po di ko pa nalalagay! i wonder want ko sana magkashadow pero walang sun ray kasi cloudy yung scene na plan ko ano po ba ang tamang gawin? Thanks ng marami po ulit. i hope for more feed back.

- big improvement!

some suggestions to improve more at maging photo real:

- blurred masyado yung dalawang maliit na palm trees sa harap. usually blurry pag malapit o malayo to simulate camerafocusing.

- pwedeng maging planters yung step sa bakod mas gaganda siguro pag me plants. o kaya stainless steel cutouts backlighted ng number ng bahay.

- medyo blurred din yung intersection ng bakod at road.

- lagyan mo kaya ng tao para ma visualize yung scale.

- some textures sa white painted walls? kongting weathering, non repeating textures. same na rin sa road.

- simulate dirt with ambient occlusion sa mga corners. check this good tutorial : http://www.cgpinoy.org/t19177-concrete-with-fading-dust-effect

- sa road pwedeng particles na nakakalat na leaves at wheel tracks.

- use photoshop sa mga materials add some details like cracks, dirt, etc....

- vray sun with hdri environment. (magkakaron ng shadow sa louvers) gamma & color correction sa vray frame buffer http://forums.cgarchitect.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=21518&d=1184862305.

goodluck!

Here is my another update post. still working for this.

i already change the road detail and the fence and put some materials. add sun with small amount of lights i only want to cast a small shadow for a cloudy effect scene. yung mga falling leaves ko muka ba syang leaves? para kasing nagmukang basura. yung nasa center part na nagkumpulan.

special thanks to the FF.

Vray blend Materials tuts by SIR ARJUN (sir pinagaaralan ko pa po yung unwrapping technique mejo di ko pa makuha ng ayos)

Artedesenyo tips for additional improvements.

Im planing to workout with some plants and grass but naghahanap pa ako ng magandang way for this specialy grass.

again still requesting comments for improvements

oh before i forget design of the building is not mine. i just saw this when i pass by riding my boss car. kaya pagdating ko sa office minolde ko agad..kung sino man meari nito paumanhin dahil pinagpraktisan ko. at salamat nadin.



thanks guys in advance. i only learn here by all of you guys.

CGP more power to everyone

Very big improvement!

salamat po sir bok. dami talagang naitulong nyo sakin at nga mga member ng CGP still im open for the changes and comments for more improvement. at basa basa din ako dito for more lessons na matututunan. galing talaga ng site na to. dami pang friendly at very approachable member.

wait pa ako sa mga C & C para mabago ko din.

Thanks po ulit

Para mas gumanda pa ang glass effect mo kelangan makita ng konte ang loob, sa glass material bawasan mo ang reflection at dagdagan mo naman ang refraction, lagyan mo ng vray light plane patayo ang bawat binatana mo, ipwesto mo ang vray light plane sa loob katabi ng bintana, same size ng bintana ang vray light plane, sa settings ng mga vray light plane ichek mo ang "invisible" at laruin mo ang multiplier taasan mo s default hanggang makuha mo ang soft light sa loob ng mga bintana.

I think you need a better hdri or increase the illumination, sunny days are always better than rainy days in visualization.

Noted po Oby20 and hotarubi! i will do my best. salamat po ng marami!

parang meron kang LED sa sidewalk......... me lightleak... try woring on this, tapos everything is perfect! welcome to the club!

new update po konting changes lang about sa LED sidewalk ko.

please let me know if ano pa pwede iimprove. im still working now with the interior. later i'll put it to the scene.

Again thanks for the ff:

Atredesnyo for additional comments

Oby20 for info about interior technique

Hotarubi for a good additional info for sunny days(im working on it aswell)

C&C padin po mga pipz.

thanks in advance. mejo nagmamadali na ako im havin a baby na kasi!




a bit of PP by jake radaza style

Very big improvement indeed. Here are some of my comments:
1. Good job on the texturing. You've made a big leap from the original image. but the weathering of the concrete is too much for me (except if that is what you really wanted to achieve) but if it is for a client presentation I would want it to look a little cleaner.. with just a hint of weathering.
2. Your road area is perfect.
3. the stone clad on the fence looks a little bit flat. add a bump of displacement map and also a little bit of reflect + specular will do I think?
4. You need to put some elements in the inside of the house plus lighting - this for me will make this a lot more realistic.
5. Try to add more variation of plant species in both foreground and background.
6. For the lighting.. I think it's a little bit bright for a cloudy scene, or is it because the background is bright? I'm not sure but you could try lowering the intensities of both hdr and sun and depend more on artificial lights.
7. a little bit of post process work to enhance the beauty of your scene.

That's it for me. Overall you've done a very good job and you should continue doing so. You are in the right track.

wow a quantum leap improvement! you might as well look/download the book "vray the complete guide" as your learning aid. All parameters of vray are explained there. As for me its better to understand what the parameters are for so that you will know what parameter you are to adjust when faced with some problems on your render output like grainy image, light leaks, color bleeding etc.
