So I'm working on this conference room project and so far it's coming along nicely...











It's still a WIP so I'm not worried about noise because none of these ran for too long. They changed the chair they're using so I'm having to model it from scratch but it's coming along also...



But as you can see the texture on the back repeats quite obviously. Here's the texture that I have to work with...



Does anybody mind using their skills turning this into a larger JPG that doesn't repeat as obviously or mind telling me how to do it? Thanks.

Also I have to say thanks to Tim for getting me the first chair they are no longer using and to B-Kandor for his excellent Rice Paper texture.

Hey man,

Here's the result of a quick 2 minute session in photoshop. I basically choose a part of the texture that you had that would be the easiest to tile (I.E. the patches with complete edges.) I then corrected the rotation of the image, using photoshops guides to help line up the edges.

This is the important bit. In photoshop under filters > others is something called offset. It scrolls the texture both horizontally and vertically, which you can use to see if the edges blend seamlessly. I usually offset 1/2 my texture resolution in both horizontal and vertical.

Then its just a case of using the clone brush to get rid of any bad bits, and make the seams blend into each other.

Like I said its only a quick job, and you can probably do ALOT better, but it seems to work.

Cheers,
Dr Merman

P.S Looking really good by the way.

If you have photoshop use it to off set the texture and clean up the ends to stop the bad repeating texture.

DrMerman,

Thanks for the tutorial for future reference and the JPG for quick use. Perfect. Exactly what I needed.

Really nice progress Chris.

Okay, so I've been working on this off and on for the past month and it's progressed alot. It's a project I'm just doing for fun of a conference room we are doing for a law firm that they want to "match" the one they already have on a different floor. There are a few small differences but for the most part they're the same. Here's what I have so far...



















So I'm probably having too much fun with multi-light but it's an incredible tool. Here's a picture of the space that we are copying that we took last month...



I didn't do a perfect job of matching the space in the rendering, but I think I got close enough. But does anybody have any suggestions on how to liven up my rendering? I'm getting close to running the full size one and considering how long that's going to take I want to make sure it's final There's still some clutter I need to add, like the plant in the background and the phone on the desk, but other than that my rendering feels boring. Not that you can make a conference room all that exciting, but it needs something. Any C&C would be appreciated.

Last one is a photo? ...or

[ivox3]

...striking oil w/that last one Chris.

[misterasset]

Ha, yeah, the last one is the reference photo for textures and so forth. I'm not that good... yet.

[andretto]

my oh my, i saw the last image before reading it was a photo... ehhehehe
if it was a MW render that would have killed me

anyway, very nice scene... second from top is my pick, i think in those with artificial light those light leaks on the ceiling are way too strong

[ivox3]

I didn't read ... ...should of let me go on thinking you were the Zen master ... hehe. ...I think your on your way though !

[blueplanetdesign]

This is just fantastic!

[misterasset]

Thanks for all the positive feedback. When I render the full size one I'll put it up in the Gallery.

Anybody have any suggestions on how to liven up the setting? I've moved the sun back to where it will be shining in through the windows to hopefully add a dynamic element to the sunlight views, and I added some bamboo on the counter and a speaker phone on the table... but it just feels like it needs something else. Anybody

[blueplanetdesign]

Although it would add render time, it might be nice to add a splash of color. Perhaps a vase of roses, some sss, and a dispersion glass to the vase. If the sunlight were right, the caustics would be impressive.

I love the scene just as it is. It's a very, very nice rendering!

Hat's off to you.
