Rendering Tips with No Rooms

Posted by Mark Conlin on August 24, 2010 at 9:33am in IRender nXt ArielVision 3D Design Studio (Sket

Hello,

 

I've been testing some renderings using a furniture layout and it works great.  We are trying to create images for a catalog and do not want any background or walls.

 

However when i do this, i seem to lose my realism.  I've attached 'example.jpg'' of what we're trying to achive.  I've also attached 'myTest.jpg' which is my best result at mimiking the example.

 

I'm wondering if you have any tips which might help me gain back the realism?

 

Currently I'm simply creating a large white floor, and using the 'high dynamic' preset render settings.  I'm also having a hard time getting my white laminate color 'white' (seems more grey).

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, your software is great.

 

thanks.

    Another thing you can use for lighting and background is a Studio background Solo created.
    (This is much, much larger than it looks)

    See this thread on SketchUcaation: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=23422

    The geometry is available on the 3D warehouse:

    White is always tricky with a renderer. (True white would mean that it wouldn't get any whiter - even if you added an extemely bright spotlight beam to shining on it)

    You can make a surface whiter by adjusting to brightness of the scene with the brightness control.

    If that is not enough, add some self-glow to the material, and it will be even whiter.

    (This is from a thread on the old forum)

    If you want an object suspended in front of a white background:
    (But with no shadows on the ground)

    1. Turn off the SketchUp Ground Plane and any rendering ground plane.

    (We sometime automatically create a ground plane if you have the SketchUp sun on and no SketchUp ground plane)

    2. Turn off the visible sky - but leave it on for reflection and illumination if desired.

    3. Set the rendering Sky to be SketchUp colors - and make sure your background color is white.

    (For some reason the automatic sky creates a black light, but the SketchUp color sky looks better)

    4. Create a small white .PNG file and use the background tab to set it as your background.

    ---

    Try a very small drawing first. I had to play with these settings to get them right.

    If you use the image icon at the top of the editor:

    image.png

    instead of attaching the images, then people can see them as part of your message, which will be easier.
