Exterior tutorial for 3ds Max and V-Ray by Leandro Silva.

Software used: 3ds Max, V-Ray, Forest Pack, Photoshop.

Introduction

Hi everyone!

I will provide some insights about one of my last projects for CGRecord Rendering Competition. For this contest, the participants were invited to recreate the entire environment of the Crescent House designed by Saota & Antoni Associates, with the only restriction of keeping the basic house geometry as it was.

Finished work

 

Concept & References

Before starting, it is essential to schedule the work and focus in the main concept behind the project. The inspiration for this work emerged when I tried to imagine what could this house and its surroundings look like by creating a nature atmosphere, simple, quiet and, most importantly, that expresses a natural extension of the house into the landscape. As a first step, I always collecte several references about the building, landscape, materials, mood and lighting that could express the concept I was after. Here are some of the reference images.

Reference images

 

Basic Setup

Once I gathered the references for the project, I started by configuring the units setup and the gamma. I always work with gamma 2.2 and linear workflow.

Modeling

The main 3d model of the house was provided to the participants of the competition by CG Record, with which I began to work by making some adjustments/improvements, mostly chamfer the edges and fix some modeling issues, so then I could focus in the atmosphere and the environment of the building straight away.

Then I added the interior furnishing such as chairs, tables, lights and curtains to fill up the kitchen, the bedrooms and the living areas.

Basic model

 

Environment & Vegetation

The terrain model is created with a simple plane which I converted to an editable poly, added a noise modifier and deformed with a few push/pull tools to enhance the effect of terrain imperfections. To scatter the vegetation, I used the Forest Pack Pro plugin to achieve a more random result with different types of models mostly from R&D iCube and Evermotion. First I began with spreading the grass with different types and sizes, and then added some flowers and leaves, the bushes and finally the trees. Here’s the overview of the scattered vegetation inside the 3dsmax viewport.

Camera Setup

For the camera placement, I adjust it throughout the process, exploring the various options for positioning the cameras. I think the most important is always try to capture the best lighting and composition of the scene, showing the building, the environment or a simple detail in the best and most appealing way, as close as possible to the real world. You can see the V-Ray Physical Camera settings from both shoots in the image below.

Lighting

In my opinion, lighting is one of the most significant element in 3d visualization, emphasizing the mood and the atmosphere of an image. For this project, I used a HDRI Map inside a V-Ray Dome Light (default), using Peter Guthrie’s HDRI 1224 Clear Sky and 2028 Dusk, combined with a V-Ray Sun to get strong shadows and a little warm highlights. In the night shoot, I also placed some additional Vray Lights that throw warm light from the interior.

Materials & Texturing

In this step of the process, it’s important to collect real material references to have a good base and understanding for texturing the materials in the scene. Most of the textures are self made, based on those available at Arroway and CGTextures, with specific adjustments in Photoshop (contrast, color, dirt) to get a better result and make all the tests needed until the materials achieve the desired look.

Render Setup

I rendered this scene with V-Ray and aimed keeping render times acceptable with an Irradiance Map and Light Cache solution. Also, I enabled some render elements to use later in post production stage. Here are the final render settings that I usually use.

Post Production

For the post production phase, I generaly focus in making little tweaks and adding some artistic retouching with the main objective of enhancing the atmosphere and “beauty” of the raw images. Below, I show the highlights of this process done in Photoshop for the day view.

Many thanks Evermotion!
Iain 22:36:50  |  10-06-2014
Great tutorial and really nice work. My only criticism is that this Evermotion trend (not nearly as bothersome as the nuclear-white interiors one) of showing off your vegetation skills to the detriment of everything else leaves excellent renders looking really quite messy. It's like The Road but all the gardenerers (or proud homeowners with lawnmowers) were the first to go. Can't we just have nicely tended grass with no weed clumps? That's what I'd want if I lived there. Just sayin'
