Maxwell Render | Official public forum

I work at a pre-viz company doing product viz, although I am not too good at it yet. I have 2 years experience in arch viz but I am still learning a lot every day. With Maxwell Render I find that the learning process is much less frustrating than the one I have been going thorugh with Vray. So here are some internal images that I am sharing to all. Two of the images here I have tried to match to existing photos, the office and the kitchen. It's harder than I thought
I hope you enjoy the style that I produce

Cheers,
Nathan

The last one looks really great! I love the frosted glass at the left.

What I don't understand is the stair leading to nothing in the one picture. And the lady walking out of the kitchen should have been left out. That looks ridiculous.


Allover you seem to love a wideangle camera as the first pictures show...

Looks good!

first let me say all images look very professional,imo! (but a bit low res)

especially the lighting is great in each of them.

On the render with the pool, the different blue/cyan tones give me a headache though.. otherwise excellent.

btw. i like those stairs

Very good work! Clean renders!!

Wow! Great job...you made a style from the 18mm wideangle!
Just kidding: excellent work, neat and elegant.

Very clean and smart images Nathan ! The lights and colors are very pleasing.
I like the use of vertical frames too, its suggestive and unusual..

Thanks Macray, All my renders are done at 5000 pixels for the longest side, but when it comes to bulletin boards I have made a mistake and posted images too small
I agree with the lady walking out, the kitchen originally didn't have any life in it, and i'm starting to think we should keep it that way

Professional is great The tones of that images have always been on my mind, without changing the actual colors of inside the spa, do you think that affecting the background would have any effect? cheers,

Cheers bubba, at 5k they aren't so clean but I am quite happy with the noise. The office gave me the most trouble because of the smoked glass and emitters behind, ahh well, I think it was worth it

Thankyou tokiop!! I have tried to work at bringing these elements together more than anything else in the images. Originally I had started each scene with either a dominant horizontal or vertical orientation. This way I have a lot of space to play with options or to crop at will. Also in some instances I can take portions of the scene and create seperate images from them due to thier original nature. Working in architecture I have dealt with many clients that like to see as much pushed into thier image as they can possibly fit to sell thier product. Using obscure lenses was one of the ways I did this and it seemed to work to client satisfaction woohooooo

wow, nice. very photorealistic images.

Thanks Sandy, I remember still the Fitness Centre that you did, excellent composition

i usually look past the architecture and study the quality of the rendering itself, but MAN i could spend all day in that first tub with my giant rubber duckie! especially with the hookah nearby

Thanks

but there is no composition, just render and color correction

Very nice work !

Nicley Done! Very photo real! - My only critic is that the first 3 images have a perspective problem it just doesnt look right!?

I agree. The images are fantastic, but the perspective throws me off in the top 3 images. Especially the second one. The celing lights and floor panels just don't look quite natural.
