Hitchcock Theater

From the archives: I created this exactly 10 years ago today ..Modelled using nurbs & rendered with an oldie but goodie, 3dstudio Viz and it's scanline renderer. It's a very significant piece for me...I had just started experimenting with breaking out light passes and compositing outside of the clean render of 3DS. Presented it to a few people here in NY, and it opened up a lot of doors for me.



Rendering in layers does involve more setup work than rendering everything at one time, but the advantage of being able to finesse your images after-the-fact, in real-time is priceless. Like the first time you sat in the driver's seat of a car and tried ot make sense of the overwhelming amount of tasks involved, it just takes a bit of practice. Once you have that figured out, you realize that you can get alot farther and faster driving, than you can walking.

woww...very nice work...

Gandaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! sana mey colored version. I love the details of the ornaments, well design!

Sir AJ..
Nice post. Galing nitong gawa.. But as usual na bitin ako.. Request lang more views pa nito.. I think you have pa.. Nice black & white concept.. Do you have a colored one also.. Keep on posting..

Wow....so, this was rendered in passes...the specular highlight pass, ambient pass, shadow pass, hope my memory serves me right....I have read alot about that, but have'nt gotten hold of a tutorial that would point me to the right direction.

Ang ganda....do you happen to have a colored version of this?

Thanks for sharing this with us.

Thanks guys, I do have a color version of this, but the color fabric and paint the client chose was quite garish IMHO. I really didn't like it, and I'll leave it at that. This B/W version is better.

@archiedmund...Jeremy Birn has some nice tutorials on this multipass process. Check out his website at www.3drender.com

@AJ Cortez....yeah, i read about that in the book, will check out the website..thanks a lot..

ganun din ang ginagawa ko ngayon sa mga works ko sir!! iba kc eh mas maenhance mo pa ang image..un lg po, maraming setup pa compare sa control image...post more pa sir! nkakainspire nmn ang gawa mo! scanline pa yan ah!!!

Everyone, thanks again for the feedback I can't say enough how lucky and blessed we are - to be doing this type of work! It's like playing with Legos all day, right? LoL.

CGP is the trully the best!

@ Jeff, I used nurbs on the furniture as well, I think you can even see the seams?!
