Hi people! This is my second render and I need criticisms to improve!
I would like to know why every interior render in cycles looks a little fake? Would be the artist or the software? srsrs Even with a very detailed scene, with good composition, always looks fake.
One thing that makes most interiors look āfakeā is that they look staged for an open house, and not lived in. Look through the interior renders here (although that would be an easier task if the forums for finished work were sorted according to type of scene, interior, scifi, weapons, cars etc. Wink, wink, nod, nod, say no more) you will find that āmostā of the best look better because you can see that someone lives there. The preceding was strictly opinion and as we all know opinions are like a**es, we all have one and they all stink.
As for your render, I really like the quilting on the bed spread. This is also a touch that give reality to an interior scene.
Looks like the first image is heavily toneamapped and āflatā.
Try experimenting with manual tonemapping with RGB Curves or use custom tonemapping formula via math nodes (of course in compositing nodes editor).
Hey sadaj72, I agree with you. I have a big trouble with tone mappingā¦rsrsrs
See other version of ānightā.
Anyway, nothing that I do with the materials(and lighting) make me happy. :spin:
I think I agree with Elsdon as far as why a lot of interior renders look fake. Quite often, all the things that make a room feel used are left out or are too āstagedā. Here, though, while this looks like it could be a staged piece, thereās enough in it to make it believable as a place someone lived in, especially with the wrinkles in the pillows. I think some on the bedspread might could enhance this a little, or even a "turned down"so that the bed appeared only partially made. But perhaps the person here is a little neater and has made the bed Maybe just some subtle wrinkles (not too fine, because of the bedspread, but not too high to keep the āneatā look and feel) could help that here.
The one thing that really feels off to me is that the ceiling feels too high compared to the bed. It feels to me almost as if the room has a āvaultedā ceiling, rather than a more āstandardā ceiling, but perhaps that was the effect you were going for.
Overall, though, I really like how this one was done, and I think youāve done a fantastic job in capturing the scene.
OlĆ”, gradyp!
Iām happy to see many people in this forum spend time to help commenting the posts.
So, about the bedspreadā¦ Iām not happy with that. I agree with you. I spent much time learning how I could make it and in a moment I had to stop and move on to finish the bedroom. I still donāt know how to make a believable clothā¦
I took the picture to a meter from the ground. Maybe itās the reason that you feels the ceiling too high. The ceiling height is 2.66 meters.
