Kitchen Environment (W.I.P.)

Scardona

So I started a kitchen environment a few days ago and here is what I have so far.

Concept:


complilation w.i.p.


What I have so far..

dmihalatos3d

This is great Arch Vis but this is Polycount......

Arthus

Very nice, is that for game or something?

chazzur

The modeling looks pretty spot on. The one thing that really makes the image what it is I feel is the lighting and the reflections. Which engine do you plan to render this out of?

dmihalatos3d

It def. looks like a VRay render. Very nice work though.

Scardona

Oh! haha, my bad >.< should I delete the post? or...

Joopson

No, no! All good art is welcome here. I don't know why everybody is getting hung-up about it.

Looks great. Only issue I have is the halo around the lights. It makes it look like a steamy bathroom more than a kitchen!

Scardona

Okay cool, then for those who care. I just set up my cameras to the four shots i'll be working towards getting better.
Yeah so I realized as soon as I took off that huge halo around the lights. I basically had to relight the whole thing cause that what basically all my lighting so this is what I got so far after relighting everything.

Scardona

So Fixed some materials, starting adding more materials to correctly texture some meshes, Forgot to 3key smooth some stuff

I just had a laugh when I saw the Oreos in the cake plate.

Shrike

you need to look up references when you do materials. Like all your specularity sharpnesses are wrong, making it look like really old and cheesy CG and give material definitions which are not right.

zombieminteractive

Some of your items would benefit from using the smoothing group.
Also the lemons texture looks, weird.
Some of the pots textures need to be re looked at. The metal and wood are not cutting it, with the harsh corners.

Oh, your plugs only have two holes (one top right, and the bottom).

Scardona

Arod529 Yeah, I was thinking about doing chocolate cake but don't know oreos sorta one that debate.
Shrike Alright, Will do!
Zombieminteractive yeah, I rendered everything and I noticed as soon as everything was done and about to go to sleep Yeah Im going to rework the lemons and finsh up a few textures today.. Yeah weird thing about the wholes, they're all there they just dont render properly. Im going to vertex paint the inside to see if that will fix that problem..

Thanks for the critiques

Scardona

Alright so I've been working on this but my renders are taking way too long..
I lower my samples from all my lights, and usually render at 50% this size, but I dont feel like its fast enough. So, Im thinking about starting all over from a clean slate and take things one object at a time. If anyone knows of any good maya work flows that would be awesome! This is what I have.. I've been trying to fix the lime but I seem to have no control on what the material does in maya. So yeah, i'll probably be starting over tomorrow.
