This is the scene I created using 3DTotal.com’s

Total Texture CD for texturing. The software

used includes: 3dsmax 8, Vray Advanced,

Greenworks Xfrog and Adobe Photoshop CS2.

I will try to concentrate on the main aspects

of creating the scene so I hope you are quite

familiar with the above software.

My intention was to create a natural looking

late evening scene using HDRI lighting method

with photometric lights.

ModellingAll modelling was done by polygons (image 1).

Trees I created in Xfrog. Here are the screen

shots (image 2 and 3):

Later I imported them into 3dsmax and created

Vray proxies. Doing so, I avoided all the

problems with not having enough memory

during rendering.

Texturing

I don’t like to complicate things when I don’t

have to, so the textures I used come straight

from the 3DTotal.com Total Texture Cd’s

without much post processing in Photoshop

(just some minor level or colour adjustments).

The only exception is the carpet inside the

glass house because I created a black border

around it in order to prevent it from flying when

using Vray displacement. Here are the textures

I used for this project (image 4).

RenderingThe lighting is based on HDRI, there is no

direct light. This is how I set up HDRI in my

scene (image 5). In project for fixture lights I

used photometric data. Lights inside the glass

house are standard photometric (image 6).

For outside fixtures I created my own IES light

with this program: www.tom-schuelke.com/

pies.exe. Here is a screen shot from the one I

created (image 7). And in 3dsmax it looked like

this (image 8).

Here’s the final rendering screen (image 9)

As you can see, the final rendering took 242

hours. Basically it’s because of a lot of trees in

the scene.

CompositionFirst I painted a background sky in Photoshop

(image 10).

I also painted some small amounts of dirt in

two places.

After (image 12).

Another minor change was fixing tilling.

And the final scene:

On this project I spent about 2 weeks for

modelling (I was doing it in my spare time after

work) and it took another month of tweaking

materials and rendering.

I highly recommend the Total Textures

collection to everyone who’s looking for the

best quality textures.

I hope this overview was helpful to you. If

you have any further questions please don’t

hesitate to contact me via my website.
