So he needed lots of renderings. Around 250 products are my responsibility. They also asked for a 30sec. rendered clip showing several things in 3D.
I had to offer a good price of course and can't charge several hundrets euros per image but the demand was also to deliver photorealistic quality.
Thats why I'm happy about Octane Render (once more) and the streamlined 3dsmax integration combined with the possibility of doing non PMC calculations.
I work mostly in a modular manner. Using around 20 basic scenes with a set of vegetation I place the new carport from .3ds format in a scene which fits well to the shape and camera angle of the carport, do the roof modelling and rain pipes, swap material-id's for walls and ground - press render - go to Photoshop, apply a basic filter action and adjust it a bit - save, sent to client - next one.
Each frame is around 3-5min. rendertime with DirectLight in GI mode on my two 580GTX cards on 1280x720px.
Here is a small collection of shots:
And the three shots for their commercial. They will integrate it into a 3min film.
