Making of artists' office

Michał Franczak 2014-07-10 10:52 tutorial  > 3ds MAX  > modeling

Learn how we made this artistic small office space that is included in Archinteriors vol. 33.

This scene is not very complicated, but there are some small tricks that make it special. First - it is rather small office space, so we used Vray camera with small focal length. To lighten this small interior, we used not only light sources but also atmospheric effects (Vray fog) that give this perfect "lazy-afternoon" mood. A lot of high quality props were used to achieve "artistic mess". Finally we put some cars and buildings on the other side of the street, to set the scene in a city. So, despite that the scene is small in cubic meters, it contains a lot of different objects that make it believable.

The scene was made by Ireneusz Jaworski from Evermotion and it is a part of our newest Archinteriors vol. 33 collection.

This scene was modeled and set with 3DS Max and rendered with V-Ray (check V-Ray price in our shop). And this is how it looks like after post production.

There is a number of lamps in the scene, but since it is a daylight scene, we didn't put any light sources inside them.

Thank you for tutorial. Please can you explain why you did not use vray sun ?
dr_After 08:23:21  |  11-07-2014
@z-z-z: Because target light gives more control than v-ray sun.

Nice tutorial. How long did the final scene take to render with the environment fog?
dr_After 14:37:47  |  21-07-2014
@apollo42 - it took about 10 hours on not-so-fast i7 machine.
