Being the car freak I am, when I read that Christophe Desse had graciously shared more of his modeling talent with the 3d community for playing/testing, I simply had to partake.

Many thanks Christophe.]]> Sat, 28 Jun 2008 13:26:29 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/610719

This was mainly just a test render (probably seems like that's all I do)...but the SLR model came from Evermotion (thanks), here's the link: http://www.evermotion.org/vbulletin...ead.php?t=64865

So, in this render I created the lighting, texturing, and composition, but not the modeling of the car.]]> Thu, 20 Mar 2008 03:58:38 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/606707

This model is created by Dwayne Ellis http://www.dwayne-ellis.com/

I configured the scene in mental ray with the mrSun/mrSky, one skylight portal at the window opening, and one photometric light in the shower area. Subtle DOF was added in post as well as the chromatic aberration and slight color correction.]]> Mon, 10 Mar 2008 17:20:38 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/611259

Car mesh came from Evermotion.org:http://www.evermotion.org/vbulletin...ead.php?t=64865

As in my previous render of this model, I was responsible for lighting/texturing/composition of this render, not modeling of the vehicle.

Color version can be seen here:http://jeffpatton.net/Tests/Mercedes_03.jpg

Anytime I go out I try to take my digital camera with me so I can either grab some reference photos, textures, or in this case I took my handy "Christmas ornament on a stick" with me to grab some photos/probes for use with the new mental ray production shaders.

The production shaders are fairly easy to configure (and can be darn useful)...Kudo's to Zap!]]> Mon, 04 Feb 2008 05:42:32 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/578758

A simple lighting/texturing study of a "modern" bathroom scene. Several of the models are from Evermotion. Both renders use photometric lights with IES profiles. The day time version also has sky portals outside the windows and a mrSun/mrSky. Both global illumination and final gather were used for the indirect lighting.]]> Wed, 02 Jan 2008 13:33:28 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/554169

Just an exploration of new mental ray features in 3ds Max 2008. Features used: mr Portal Lights, Photographic Exposure Control, and the Arch: DOF / Bokeh camera shader]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2007 13:02:58 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/546507

This is my render of a scene I made for a lighting/texturing charrette at http://vizdepot.com/]]> Thu, 04 Oct 2007 04:10:01 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/527775

I used 3dsmax/mental ray to create this image. The car model was provided by others. I composed/textured/lit/rendered the image.]]> Sat, 11 Aug 2007 00:08:48 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/527772

Used the Evermotion scene that ships with Max9 for a quick lighting test. Final Gather only used for the indirect illumination.]]> Fri, 10 Aug 2007 23:50:47 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/527773

I used this scene from Turbosquid (user name "Image Kingdom") to demonstrate a simple FG & daylight system lighting technique for SIGGRAPH. The only light source in this scene is the mrSun/mrSky system.]]> Fri, 10 Aug 2007 23:54:25 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/509154

Here's an example of a simple terrain made with a mental ray displacement map. Added DOF in post with a z-depth pass. Render time was about 6 minutes on a dual xeon 3.2 system.]]> Wed, 20 Jun 2007 18:36:03 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/507551

Testing my primer/flat/matte (whatever you want to call it), paint setup.]]> Fri, 15 Jun 2007 16:37:05 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/551901

This was a quick setup in 3ds Max 2008 / mental ray to test out the new features & production shaders. Shaders & features used:
mr Matte/Shadow/Reflection, mr Gamma & Gain, photographic exposure control, and Glare.

The car model was created by Piotr Kosinsky and I purchased it from Turbosquid a while back for use in another project. (great model btw).

The car paint is an A&D mixture of mine, and lighting is merely a skylight with a .hdr map and FG only.]]> Fri, 19 Oct 2007 01:41:03 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/505220

Car that's being used in a project of mine. Model is from Turbosquid. I textured, lit, and rendered the model. I also modified the model slightly, for example, I increased size of cowl induction hood.

Attempting to create a miniature model feeling. I believe the building model is from Evermotion. The trees are Onyx tree. Rendered in Max9 / mental ray.]]> Tue, 06 Mar 2007 17:11:56 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/472043

I was inspired by a scene in the fryrender gallery:

I used Max9 / mental ray to complete this scene.]]> Thu, 08 Mar 2007 18:49:45 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/456224

Lighting & concrete material study. Doesn't really show the concrete very well but the lighting was decent looking.]]> Fri, 26 Jan 2007 16:24:26 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/456222

This scene is part of the current rendering challenge at 3dallusions.com. The untextured & unlit model itself was provided by the site, and created by Branko Jovanovic.

I just had to light, texture and render the scene. I used mental ray in 3dsmax9. I used the "low" FG preset, but there are a few fg artifacts that should clear up with some higher settings. But for a 32 minute render...I thought it wasn't bad.]]> Wed, 18 Oct 2006 18:27:39 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/417940

Just a little arch-viz interior lighting experiment for me. I added a modified night version in my portfolio. Wanted to get a sunny afternoon feel.]]> Mon, 16 Oct 2006 14:27:55 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/417917

I created this little scene for testing my materials. In this exmaple I have a gold metallic car paint test.]]> Mon, 16 Oct 2006 13:18:24 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/417914

This model comes from a thread at Vizdepot.com. The goal of the thread & providing the model is/was to display different lighting configurations in Mental Ray (3dsmax), and then discuss the settings.
The untextured & unlit model was provided in the thread and of course it's design was based on Jonatan's (aka Sytron) wonderful Maxwell render here:
[url]http://forums.cgsociety.org/showpost.php?p=1671368&postcount=1[url]
I know it's a bit dark near the camera, mainly due to my editing in photoshop. The original render was a bit brighter. However, I liked the contrast, so I left the dark areas in (even though it's unatural looking).
Comments and critiques are certainly welcomed.
