Render Sketches - 01
To improve on my lighting and shading skills, I created a few "render sketches" or rather; simple scenes based on reference photos online. You'll notice that my images are not exact replicas of the references but they borrow certain elements such as the furniture layout, color schemes and/or lighting schemes. I am not an interior designer, and truth-be-told that is the thing I struggle with the most when it comes to my 3d projects. However, I wanted to try and make each image recognizable as mine, and not just a blatant copy. Therefore I spent a lot of time making and testing various materials until I came up with something pleasing to my eye.
My goal was to not spend more than a day per image (modeling, shading, rendering, post-production), however, I spent a little more time than that on the last image just tweaking materials and lighting schemes. Almost all of the furniture/decor pieces in the images are ready-made models from online sources. I used 3ds Max, Corona Renderer and Photoshop. Enjoy!
