Des 306 Posted September 12, 2019 Wait.... Lumion with FormZ? That's so impressive. Beautiful design, modelling, texturing and modelling, well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaakko 65 Posted September 12, 2019 I liked a lot of that Nunduk animation. Great work pipo! I'm curious, how long the project took, modelling and rendering? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pipo 138 Posted September 13, 2019 Hey Des, Jaakko Thanks for your comment guys This is still a work in progress , attempting planning approval for a spa in this location is fraught with problems... The modelling to this stage is several weeks but a lot of reworks and modifications Rendering - each sequence was 20 - 30 hours on a high end card Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaakko 65 Posted September 13, 2019 Hi Pipo! Thanks to your info. It really looks challenging project overall. Good luck with it. 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew West 281 Posted September 22, 2019 Excellent work. I miss Maxwell very much at times. Then I remember how long it took to get a decent render and remind myself why I switched to V-ray. Have there been any speed improvements with Maxwell over the last year or so? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pipo 138 Posted September 23, 2019 render speed these days is somewhat subjective the more you give clients and the faster they receive it, the more and faster they expect all about conditioning clients expectations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew West 281 Posted September 23, 2019 Very true. However, the power of V-ray allows me to show them fairly high quality renders pretty quickly during the whole modeling process. With Maxwell that was not possible unless I dumbed down all the materials and lighting and rendered the image very small. Then I would have to spend time explaining to my client why the image looked so awful. When we would finally get the model complete and the proper materials applied I would show them a much better image that would render all night. That is when the bigger problems would arise since they are now seeing it in a completely different manner. Re renders were just so painfully slow. But as I stated before, I really miss a lot of the features of Maxwell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnalexander1571 31 Posted September 24, 2019 I agree with Andrew. I used Maxwell once on an arch viz illustration and made the mistake of e-mailing my intermediate results before they were done. The client (a developer) withheld a payment on me, demanded all of the source files so that they could have someone else finish the work. I had to go in and speak with his wife when I took the files in (he wouldn't even talk to me) and assured her that if given the chance I could complete the work to their satisfaction. After they shopped the files around and realized they didn't have any choice, they let me finish the piece. When I turned in the final, the only thing I can say is that the developer became the happiest man in the world. He was bouncing around in his office raving about his image. I have never been more happy with a client's response. He hoped that I make the image the focus of my own business website he was so happy. This also had more to do with a client not understanding how rendering works, and I have given up trying to explain it. I should not have shown early sub-par results and VRay would sort of help that to be avoided. It also allows that minute single change that needs to be done to the whole render not be so darn painful. I am not sure that VRay's sheer speed would have saved the day back then, but being able to render as you go along building your model is how you get to a nice render at the end. Especially lighting and materials. For every excellent render, there are hundreds that are discarded along the way. Each one gets better than the last.
