Photorealistic 3D Interior Scene

*if you found this page while looking for vray render settings you may want to read the following forum discussion created while developing this interior scene – http://forums.3dtotal.com/showthread.php?t=57741*

Well my final piece of coursework has been handed in, so I thought I’d upload a few images.

I’d still class myself as being relatively new to 3D Max and this was my first attempt at:
1. An interior scene, 2. A photo-realistic scene, 3. An architectural scene, 4. Rendering with Vray.

The requirement for this assignment was to create either a short animation, a photo-realistic scene or an abstract scene. As you can probably tell from the images below, I had a go at a photo-realistic scene. Whether or not I managed to achieved this is debatable.. You be the judge.

I wasn’t overly satisfied with the shape of my jeans / t-shirts, so thought I’d try a render with and without:

Unfortunately the final etched glass table top crashed mid-render and with less that 7 hours to go, there was no way I was going to be able to render out the mammoth 15 hour render before the deadline. Luckily I’d rendered out the plain glass version the day before.

Below are a number of test renders, which illustrate a number of the issues I had while trying to get my material to function in the way I wished.

I’d actually completed the modelling process a week prior to the deadline, but encountered a number of problems with Vray that took me over a week to address:

I will hopefully find the time to render this camera angle out again; however I think I’ll give my computer a little rest for now.

The inspiration for the clothing store came from an ex-work mate, who is in fact starting up his own clothing store and asked if I could help him out with some visuals to show the mall he is currently in talks with.
