For the floor surface I used a concrete texture with a soft reflection so it gives you a contrast to the rest of the room. Eventually It came to me that I want to keep the colors basic but with a nice contrast. I did not had any idea about what materials I would like to use. I started to work with only my sketches and my imagination at my side. Since my background is architecture, and I tend to run concepts in my head for a long time and gather sketches about them, I just had to implement this specific one about an open living space where you can have the most common and general functions one will daily do. I wanted to know how far I could go and how realistic I could make things look. I designed this scene as a case study for the combined use of SketchUP, VRay and Photoshop. I was really glad to have won the prize because I was just starting out my own company in Holland, at age 19 at that time, and got great exposure after the win. The following render won the first VRay for SketchUP render competition. I’m sure Dirk will answer it all 🙂 Introduction
