cousin's house

[MartinSK]

So my friends ... I know you forget but here is the time to continue the next part of my older project- cousin's house. I finished the first room on the floor and it is the main bedroom with the very short garden panorama and terrace.

Here I started to experiment with SILK shininess shader on rendering which gives more shining alternatives but more rendering troubles at the same time. The same problem was that I missed GLOSSY style of floor due to silk setting. And here is the result. I create GLOSSY style floor effect thanx to glass-like filter. It is not genial but it is an alternative how to maintain this glossy effect for some objects. And I experimented with rendering settings. Here it is...
AAmin...2
AAmax...2
GI......default
DB......0 /I see most people here recommends 1 but when I started to use 0, shadows become more contrast of-course but it gives more plastic interior feeling to me... Sure it is only about personal preferences./
CAUSTCS..0 /at day scenes/
SHINES...silk
Focus Distance....250
Fous Radius.......1
FILTER...blackman-harris
SAMPLER ALGORYTHM...bucket
here are results pic1

pic2

size of pics is 1500x1000 pixels and rendering time was 3 hours /pic1/ and 5 hours /pic2/
oh...and here I have another problem. I experimented with GI-path. It was interesting but my comp started to compute only black pictures for this setting abruptly and I don't know why. I changed DB numbers,restarted my comp,tried everything...but still nothing....only black. Any ideas?

Where did you get the curtains in the last pic?

I have not the direct link yet...but it was on this site
https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/index.html
You have to downloaded collada file on each model if you want to use it in sweethome3d... Or I sometimes download sketchup files for re-edit some models. Not sure but I think I sent you personal message week ago...
Hope you enjoy

[email protected] you mean that transparent curtains...I made it by myself...

Beautiful pictures ! [=D>]

What is the soft used for re-edit ?

Excuse me bdfd 're-edit' was very bad word choice of me. /that's my not perfect English/
I had to say correct. It's better.
For example. Grass model in 'for two persons gallery'....it was very tough manipulation for my comp when I imported whole model in collada file from warehouse. So I imported it into sketchup. Simplified it there /because model contains of 4 same parts... I deleted 3 of them/. Then exported into KMZ format and then imported into sh3d. Manipulation runs perfect.
Or I correct or change textures there if possible sometimes. Because it is able to apply glass texture for lot's of models for example. /and many more of-course/
Or if I downloaded models from CGtrader I had troubles with models in OBJ,KMZ,3DS formats. /lost textures. very simplified model or lost model parts etc./ The best choice for me is downloaded it into sketchup. It shows that every models are correct there. I can make some changes in sketchup and reexported it into collada or KMZ format in form I like....
Sure...there are IT experts here laughing on me when reads this article. But I don't know other way to make it better....

No problem, my english is good with help of 'Google translation'. [:)]

We do same thing but with different soft.
I use Unwrap3D or Anim8or and you sketchup, OK.
Like you sometimes it's not possible or perfect...

[MartinSK]

Perfect!!!!
I didn't know that. I'll try it maybe.
I am watching anim8or. And it looks fine.
Thank you.

Beautiful rendering!

DB......0 /I see most people here recommends 1 but when I started to use 0, shadows become more contrast of-course but it gives more plastic interior feeling to me... Sure it is only about personal preferences./
CAUSTCS..0 /at day scenes/

I experimented with GI-path. It was interesting but my comp started to compute only black pictures for this setting abruptly and I don't know why.

About photo rendering properties, you can see pages 3-4 of the guide available in this thread .

Thank you enkonyito.
At first.. great pictures on your sites.. [:x]
And about rendering properties..hmmm...My problem with GI-path is, that my settings are OK....but I still have black pictures only in this project. Still don't know why. Have the same settings in other projects and GI-path runs normal. [:(]
Problem is /maybe/ that I have very simple graphic cards in my comp [:))] .... intel CORE i3 and NVIDIA GEFORCE 930M.....
It looks it's a kind of magic that I am able to produce any renderings [:))]
