The first of four Maxwell renders I've done at Cityscape 3D, for the IYLO Phoenix Logistics Croydon residential project in London.

Standard apartment living room:-

This has been printed in today's London 'Metro' newspaper, hence being able to post it here. I will post the three other renders, when they go public.

Yes, maybe a 3 point connection on that chair! :wink:

This image looks a little noisy. What sl was reached?
Also, the perspective is very heavy and causes the image to stretch on the sides... It's hard to get everything into one shot in interior renders.

Nice render nonethless. Congrats!

Well unfortunately due to a very tight deadline and reduced render farm, many other projects needed to render at the same time, this didn't cook for as long as I wanted it to.

It rendered at 3K on ten nodes overnight. Initial plan was to render at 5K, but this became impossible in the time I had.


The hanging chair came and went and then came back, as client, architect and interior designer battled for supremacy, as they did with most of the furniture. I have to agree I wouldn't sit in it.

Thanks for the comments,

Tim.

nice work!

My only crit is the background photo matching: the horizon line of the apartment does not match the horizon of the city.

Oh yes, forgot to mention, this is a 12mm lens due to small size of the apartments, hence lots of lens distortion.

Background plate was shot on top of the crane on the building site, with an approximation of height for this, the tenth floor. Photomatch could be better, agreed, although the client preferred this to the correct perspective match.

Cheers,

Tim.

Croydon won't ever look the same again... by the way i just LOVE the concrete building which we can see through the glass door on the left side of your image, a fantastic example of brutalist architecture if ever i saw one...

Thankyou.


Tom, some aspects are modeled with Blender, the furniture mainly. The rest is modeled in Modo or Lightwave, depending on which person in our assets team was working on the project.

I modeled all the furniture with Blender, for the penthouse shots, which I hope to post in the near future, when they are made public.
