Very nice work!

Like it.

Makes me feel I got lots to learn...

Hi Janusz,

Been away some time, but I have to react...

VERY VERY NICE and REALISTIC!

Makes me even more impatient in waiting for the new ProArch bundle

YOur materials are very good.

Thanks Janusz,

Area light behind camera I was thinking about to experiment with, but I have to make animation. This will become visible when camera moves, right?

And are those area lights on the ceiling double sided? i.e. will they give light spots? Now I use single sided lights...

Hi everybody!

I have a question.

How do you brighten up ceilings in rooms where the windows are relatively far away?

Do you place (double sided?) area lights on the ceiling? Do you increase diffuse/luminosity multiplier on floor/ceiling?

Thanks in advance!

Barry

Very realistic!
Do you use a panorama surrounding as enviroment?

Is there any news yet on the Pro Arch Volumes?

I am really interested in learning anything I can about rendering... and tips and tricks are always welcome.

Is it still possible to buy Arch Vol 1?

I like the well balanced light and the way the light falls on the grass.

Superb work!

Thanks for the comments!

Yes, the contrast was indeed a bit too strong to my linking as well, but I haven't figured out how to decrease contrast without reducing light in the room!. How do you do it?

The noise is a problem due to antialiasing and too high bump map, I think.

4- carpet in the ...

Nice work, Christophe!

Your render resembles the photo reference very nicely.

Are the fallen leaves on the ground models or part of texture?

Hello everyone,

I recently started out playing with KRay... and I thought I'd post a small example of the experimenting I have been doing. :oops:
I used a lot of the tips and advice posted on this board...

It is only a low-res render; the resolution it has to be deliverd in is 1280 x 720 as ...

Well...as promised to let you know how it went...

Hereby a render from my own project. Some sharpening and backdrop was added in PS.
The resolution is small though (for testing purposes). Eventually the size will have to be 1280 x 720.

I used area lights in the window (35%, inverse square falloff ...

Looks very good!

Love the day - night versions.

(meaning: dusk)

Hey thanks, Johny!

Now I get much better renders!

I use area lights to increase the ambient illumination in the room. I have also tried using a floating lumi ball, but it gives light spots on the walls. I am still playing with it, though.... I think it is a matter of fine tuning and it will work ...

Thanks for the help!

I will try it out...

Let you know if it worked.
