Hi Guys!
I wanted to share with you this exercise, an advertising scene set without color mapping and linear as camera response...
Challenging but intereseting exercise.
See you soon!

Very good render there. Please keep posting a lot more!

Good job! Is that scene a reproduction of a catalogue photo?

Care to share some details on the render? Light setup etc?

No, I haven't got this one from a catalogue, it was all invented

Regarding the render I may say that was challenging, since for the first time since I started to use this awesome engine I wanted to try to work like in photography, so linear as response of camera and no color mapping (or highlight compression, if you prefer to call in this way).
At the end setup was done keeping a main light on the left, that is light that casts main shadows, calibrating exposure to avoid blown area on left wall, then adding some further light to balance first one. One is behind camera and another one is on the right, not direct to scene, but to the wall, so to may have only diffuse lighting from that one. FInally there is lamp light, but that is a simply emission shader, set as warm light.
I hope to have replied to what you wanted to know, if you need some further infos let me know...

Thanks and a have a good day!

Thanks for the details. No post on the image? How was your render time? If you didn't already, try Adaptive Sampling and see what speed improvement you see. (It starts out the same, but slowly ramps up and gets faster and faster)

I love these kinds of renders, it isn't always as 'simple' as the scene looks hey!?

again good job dude.

Thanks again!

no, no post since I was really pleased to see that both curves than tones, set in auto, leave everything as it was.
I will try for sure, but I use Octane plugin with C4D, so I will do that as both standalone that plugin will be released.
Regarding render time it was around 45 minutes at 2560x1440, with 4000 samples in PT.
Finally, I agree, this kind of scenes seem simple, but they aren't IMO

Thanks and see you soon!
