1 emitter, 1 maxwell camera with standard parameters, all glossy material ( mirror is with no glossy), 120 minutes of computation in a dual xeon 3.2
brightness,contrast and color correct in photoshop

Nice soft mood, but be careful with your postwork, the grey background show levels now (I would blur this area in PS). The water at the ground of the bassin looks a little bit like gel.

[karonte]

ok thnks! i will blur the background

The water is like gel because i think refraction is too high and you can see the strange black spot within.
I would like a preset materials in maxwell final 1.0!

nice overall render ......good txt on sink/nice model on faucet / the water ...hmmm, perhaps changing the angle so you don't have to see the 'pooling' at all, i know that's kind of a tough one to pull off(water accumulation).

ps. .....lighting, is a little flat .....could use some warm, more contrasty direct light for dynamism. also, the missing background under the sink.....change the angle or put one in.

i'm pretty sure it's geometry with a dielectric .......

[karonte]

no! a lot of particle with a new method.!!!!
i build thousands of spheres and use reactor!!!

I'm joking

it'a simple mesh with dielettric as ivox3 said.

[deesee]

Bravo signore!

[karonte]

this is the final version.
Sorry for the water....i tried to change but it seems gel....

[goncalo]

Karonte amazing...

Just want to say the water coming from the tap is perfect, really good ( i love to know how to do it) and don't looks like gel only in the basin, but i think if in basin you just put it very thin water going directly to the pipe gonna be wonderful, because the water is very fluid and when it hits the basin in real life is like continuos line that goes through the pipe... and is difficult to see also don't have big presence ....just an idea

great work

One thing... 120 minutes to make this ? without noise ? how you made it?

[aitraaz]

wicked image metal is wicked...great

Very nice! Agree that the water looks a bit 'thickish.' How about adding a bunch of splashed dropletts. I think the gelatin look has a lot to do with the water being in a single spot, which isn't natural. Go crazy with it and throw that water all over the place!

......i thought it was funny.

Just use nature as your guide. Go to the sink, the kitchen one is best in this case... and try to turn on the tap WITHOUT getting a stream of water to run around the circumference of the sink. Most likely it will be almost impossible. Thus, the only possible case where you could have a tap that far from the bottom of the sink AND have no splashes or water beads... would need to be very viscous, like syrup.

Unfortunately when trying to sell any natural phenomenon it's critical to match it's behavior exactly. We are hardwired with what things SHOULD look like... Not everyone can immediately tell if your sink is wrong, since there are so many variations of porcelian and steel, but everyone knows what water does, and from birth.

a good image with a lot of potential. Perhaps add a few things to the bathroom that suggest it is a bathroom, for example; soap, toothbrushes, cup/glass,shaver, water on the counter, etc. This will go a long way to 'complete' the scene.

It's a really cool sink. Is it your design?

To goncalo:
my water is a simple mesh. hand modeled. i start from a cylinder
You observations is good!!! my water is ON the basin and i had to put it inside! maybe the black spot disappered!
yes.the 1st image took 120 minutes and i use contrast and lum in photoshop to calibrate the image.THe last one ( that with the tiles on the floor ) took 5 hours ah the size of 3500 x3500 i don't use denoiser because the image is very big and it's difficoult to see noise inside the white basin (i use only 1 material with blurry reflection). Do you use maxwell? do you have some pictures to see? Thank for your comments

to michaelplogue:
I will try to simulate me in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!! when i wash my face....
my bath is a swimming pool!!

To iandavis : I dont'want more objects because the image tried to simulate the pictures of the minimal bathroom catalogue and i dont't like to fill the scene with lot objects
The design is not really mine because i see a sink in an exhibition and i tried to remember its shape it's very close to original "Antonio Lupi" design.
