Artlantis R Renderings C&C

[Robert Fuchs]

I just thought I would see what C&C people here would have about these renderings/project. Modeled in AC 9 and Rendered in Artlantis R.

I dont have a problem giving you the artlantis file but its really big with the textures because its the whole house not just the scene you see in these renderings.Its 38 mb without the texture folder....Not really possible to send.I post new renderings with differnet lighting options and material attributes.I try hard to improve and hopefully one day I ll be good at it.Have a nice day!

That is a big file. I have turned on the ambiant light option for my interiors when I need a little extra light without adding general light sources in the space. Its really nice to keep the original renders you started with and compare them with the final product. For me there are usually a big difference. Good luck.

The renderings without interior lights seem to be better...

Did the interior lights had falloff.

FWIW, you could work on that from within Photoshop. Or overlay two renders: one with exterior lights only and one with interior lighting added. Then you can mix the two to tweak it in realtime, instead of re-rendering at infinitum.

I agree with that but customers stragle to see it...

It may sound stupid but to be homest with you i have never worked photoshop.And its something that i should do.I always worked a comercial photo editing software that did the basics but not photoshop.So i dont know how to mask an image in photoshop or do what you ve proposed...Really dont know what to do.Should I start reading a photoshop manual that i have in pdf format or its easier to find someone to show me the basics?Is it easy to learn?

Photoshop or whatever you have (Paint Shop Pro, Gimp, PhotoPAINT etc...) are all usable.

What I mean is that you can sometimes obtain more professional results when combining a few default renderings and create a mixture.

E.g. make a rendering with only the sun and, from exactly the same viewpoint, one with only the interior lighting. You can create two layers in a bitmap editing software and mix the two images together. That way you can alter the balance between the different lightsources.

You can also tweak contrast and balance in an image very easy in such a bitmap editor, rather than creating 100 trial renderings.
