I have that Eames Rocker in the wheat colored fiberglass. I collect mid-century modern Rivoli so I am a great fan of your work. First real modernist renders I've seen in the forum.

The texture on the rocker is perfect. Are you creating all the models from scratch?

[rivoli]

thanks all, i'll render a sss chair as soon as have time just to see how it looks compared to this one (for what i've tested so far there's a huge difference, sss looks better to me).

thank you jack, yes, i model them from scratch. i'm starting to think that i'm some kind of monomaniac eames modeller, sort of a freak actually. funny thing is i can't afford not even a single piece of their furniture.

thanks daniel, i'll post settings and stuff as i get back home tonight.

even though i doubt that map can fit any situation or lighting setup. to me that material still needs a lot of work (maybe with a proper mat editor _ blend maps, masks and procedural maps would help) before it gets close to an actual fiberglass one.

- matches my eames chair perfectly.

by the way, how comes you all have one? am i the only one who have to seat on ikea chairs?

I got my eames rocker for 15.00 us dollars. Found it on a porch in a trailer park in Southern Indiana. The owners were astounded I would give them that much for a "Porch Chair"!

Rivoli, ask if you modeled form scratch because I have a lot of the same models. I got a lot of them from Herman Miller, but they aren't as nice as yours. My first maxwell render was the Nelson Marshmallow Sofa. I love Modern. Great to see soemone doing it so well. Nice work.

very photoreal renderings, made from perfect modelling and knowing how to setup lights and materials
hats off to you mate, very inspiring work that you are doing

dd, olivier, thanks for the kind words.

wow, that's cool. here in milano we don't even have porches. this kind of modern furniture is really expensive, you don't really stumble across it, if you know what i mean.

anyway, here are the settings for the plastic mat, right now i can't upload the map anywhere, it's about 4 mb:

Excellent studio setup (great lighting).
Also (as others mentioned) your plastic looks super real

[rivoli]

thanks thomas, but to be honest i'm still craving that good old perfect glass of wine of ours. sometimes i awake thinking it's within reach, but i know it's only a dawn illusion.

[morbid angel]

rivoli nice work...I was under impression that maxwell doesnt render shaders in mat editor? how did you get it to show?

[rivoli]

it's a fake. sorry but i couldn't help myself, i had to render a mat editor sphere maxlike.

ahh, fond memories yes.

... Are you saying it was all in vain ?

[Thomas An.]

hmm, but you have to admit our glass / wine interface looked a little more accurate than this

[rivoli]

not wholly in vain, i wouldn't venture to say so. but there's still something missing, and i'm not strong enough to start it over again.

oh well, that's a glass/martini beginner's work.

great mat-sphere rivoli
