70m2 flat by Szymon Migaj

Article written by Szymon Migaj.

Hello guys! My name is Szymon Migaj, I’m from Poland and i run a small studio called PressEnter
Design. Today, thanks to RenderSpirit, i will have the pleasure to talk to you a bit
about the 70m2 flat interior visualizations.

1. Reference

As this was an interior project created by our studio, there were no actual reference. I just started
from a 2d dwg plan, thrown in some colors and furniture until i was satisfied with the effect.

2. Modeling

I usually try to save time by modeling as little as possible. The whole base of this interior (walls,
ceilings, light placement, closets/cabinets) were created from a dwg base.

The rest of the furniture are mostly free models, some created by me, like the candlestick model,
which you can download from my website.

I think that something worth mentioning here are the windows, as i have also modeled the glass
inside them, which, given a proper material with the affect shadows option enabled, had also some
impact on the light in this scene.

3. Materials

I try to keep the materials simple, usually just some diffuse map, reflect, gloss and bump. That way i
can save time and work on them in postproduction by using render passes.

4. Light

The main light in the scene is a VraLight Dome type with attached an exr bitmap with a VraySun.

All of this is finished mostly by VrayIES lights in the ceiling and a couple of VrayLight Planes.

You can find most of the settings for this in a short video i made a while back:

5. Postproduction

All of my rendered images are saved to an 32bit *.exr file. I’ve also created a video about how to
work with these type of files:

Also for postproduction purposes I’ve used a couple of render passes, mostly applied with the screen
blending mode:

Reflection:

Specular:

GI:

The whole postproduction was done in After Effects. There actually was not much of this, just some
diffusion, chromatic aberration and curves, pretty basic.

That’s about it!

You can see a lot from this project on Vimeo, I hope that also this little making-of will be helpful to
you.
