It has been a busy couple of weeks here at work but I have not stopped what I have been working on, just working with a little less available time. Here is the most recent screen shot.

I decided to pop in here during the middle of the week to show the final composite of the Kitchen module. Notice I said final composite not final render. I had to render again because I wanted to the the glass correct on the cabinets and along with the correct material ID mask set (rather than cheat like I did in the last one). Notice the glass on the right hand side look like mirrors and until I get the normals facing the correct direction that is way it was. I cheated on the last one by removing the glass completely. The final render and composite will come tomorrow when the final render is complete and I can just insert the .exr into the composite.

Along with this is a shot of the start of the European Architecture this one may take me longer than normal. This one almost requires perfection and I am a perfectionist.

Kitchen – Notice the mirror glass on the right hand side.

Final Kitchen Render from the Architecture Academy. This turned out to be a relatively easy module. I tried to keep with the texturing and layout but changed the modeling is minor ways. The crown molding was accomplished by creating an outline of the trim piece using a ‘curve’ circle setting the type to vector and creating the profile and using the control points to create the curved area. I then created a path using a ‘curve’ circle setting the type to vector and with subdividing I snapped the points to each vertex around the periphery of the room. I then added the trim profile I created earlier as a bevel object and wallah I had trim around the kitchen. I modified to sink to match a typical drop in sink and changed the window in front of the sink to more closely match most other kitchen window designs I have seen. The windows that are out of the view of the camera I changed to 3 x 3 pane windows to try and give more variation to the shadows. This final render is in work at the present time because I was having troubles with the glass material showing up as a mirror. I have been sick all weekend and am going to take some vitamins and go to bed right now and hopefully be better tomorrow. Here is close the final render. I’ll finish with a composite render tomorrow morning.

I decided to post only once per week until Christmas vacation where I will have just about 3 weeks off to blend and relax. Here is the final Pool Deck. Next week look forward to the Completed Kitchen.
