Making of white kitchen - Tip of the Week

Michał Franczak 2015-06-25 11:44 tutorial  > 3ds MAX  > texturing

This scene comes from Archinteriors vol. 37.

This interior scene was made by Kamil Kuklo in 3ds Max and V-Ray. It is scene 7 from Archinteriors vol. 37. You can purchase this single scene or entire Archinteriors vol. 37 collection in Evermotion Shop. You can also purchase Archinteriors for C4D vol. 37.

This kitchen is not ordinary one. It has a common space with a room, interesting hanging lamps, blackboard wall and nice rustical table. It's placed in a loft and it has an opening in the ceiling - the floor above is visible. It has many light sources.

Viewport view with "realistic light" mode on. In this mode the scene looks overexposed, so we will used simple "shaded" view in the next pictures.

A table stands very close to the camera, so we needed high quality mesh and textures. We needed  "old, worn-out" table look - the one that was used by a family for a long period of time.

Table mesh. We needed a table with uneven surface and roundedcorners. Kamil achieved that result by using modifiers stack in Blender, smoothing and decimating model.

Kamil placed lights in the windows of both floors and behind kitchen wall. One light was also placed to lighten up furniture on the floor above the kitchen.

The final light is VraySun - settings are on the right.

Floor is an extruded plane, it is barely visible in the camera so there was no need to make boards with floor generator.

Floor box close-up.

Raw render without post-production.

Photoshop layers. 3 layers above base layer increase lamp brightness. Light select layer increases brightness of walls, specularity (screen 50%) gives more reflections of materials. Curves and color balance get rid of unwanted yellows.

Hi, very good tutorial! Thank you! Just one question: Did you use output gamma 2.2 (the default setting of 3ds max 2014) or output gamma 1.0 ??
