As you all know, there are not many high quality tutorials for Rhinoceros over the Internet. Unfortunately, Rhino community is not that big as 3DS max community, so there is lack of tutorials, materials and models. The smaller community, the bigger event is every tutorial or model published!
Thanks to my friend Fede for creating this article for all of You and for pushing the borders of Rhino and V-Ray much harder than the others.
Article written by Federico Fernandez
Hi Flyingarchitecture Community,
this is Federico Fernandez. I’m an Italian Architect, who parallel to Architectural desing, brings on his passion for Computer Graphics. With time it has begun a consistent part of my job, even though I try to leave the two things quite separate. I obtain it by going after realistic visualization for clients and for conceptual or matte painting for my own architectural works.
I’m very grateful to Flying architecture for laying the ground where I “planted” my roots. For a long time I’ve been a lone rhino and vray user and there was no community where to share ideas, tips & tricks. When I found FlyingArchitecture, I was very happy. I’m even happier now ‘cause I also found a friend, a person who I consider a personal friend and he he’s the founder of Flying Architecture… no name is needed as everyone knows him :-)
After all this “presentation” let’s get to the “hot“ part.
INTRODUCTION
This quick project was meant to push V-Ray for Rhino and myself towards better realism result. I’ve always felt (as a V-Ray for Rhino user) the least considered by ChaosGroup. Luckily all this seems to have come to an end since the release of new V-Ray for Rhino, with the prevision of further development in order to bring VfR (= V-Ray for Rhino) to V-Ray for 3dsMax levels.
THEME CHOICE / RESEARCH
Since a while a 3D kitchen was bugging my head, actually I don’t know why… maybe because I’m a fan of metals and I thought in a kitchen, there would have been lots of them. The challenge was to reproduce them with fidelity in VfR. This follows a path I’ve taken some weeks ago to explore complex materials in VfR, thing neglected by everybody, cause it’s quite difficult in VfR, as we have worse materials previews and mapping when compared to 3dsMax.
So after doing some reserches of modern kitchens, I ended up mixing modern furniture with Oldish/classical kitchen look. I chose this also because too modern kitchen was a clichè, so I opted for something a little different.
Great ‘making of’ , but just one thing, next time don’t forget to apply “edge softness” before placing the logo (just a joke)
Yeah…you’re right!!! thanks, I saw it, but liked the result…maybe I’ll convert it to my logo!!
Bravo Fede! Gracias por compartir esta experiencia con nosotros!!! y a FA por brindarte este espacio. :)
Thanks!
More of these kind of tutorials are needed!
thanks a lot, this is fantastic!
Can I ask you… where did you found the model of tree?
you mean the one from the casting shadows?
*find
I am still trying to understand and apply these values to learn but this project is just one of those wows and also the tutorial has a wonderful description..
Thanks for sharing, looks great!
Great tutorial! How did you place the image onto the wrapped cylinder?
can we please have tutorials on how to do these kitchens?
thank you
Go to the Page 2 and 3 (links are placed at the end of the article) to see the tutorial.
hi can any one tell similar site for 3ds max please..
thank you for tutorial but i m new at photoshop so could u open a bit more what u did in photoshop.
Awesome Tutorial. This has really inspired me to get better with VfR. How did you go about getting the background on that cylindrical surface? I understand getting the HDR on the GI skylight and background. Is it just the save HDR on the cylinder? Cylindrical mapping?
It was just a jpeg put as a bitmap in the material properties of that object in rhino…that’s all!
Sweet! Thanks a lot
It´s absolutely amazing …. You’re fantasitic :D
