Introduction

Hello, guys!

Today, I'm proud to announce a new personal project I completed. During the last year I worked on a photorealistic 3D scene for further advancing my skills in architectural visualisation. With this project I learned a lot about Vray and about lighting ;). The project consisted of reproducing an entire room in 3D. I'm happy now to see it done. The work on this project was started initially in may 2005, but after several months, I stopped working on it. In july 2007, I restarted the project, remodelling almost all objects. I completed it in late august 2009. The main subject of the project is a piano from 1868, which I like very much. On the front of it, you can read: "Ehren preis. Franz Chalupny in Wien. Auszeichnung 1868".

Technical details:

• Modelled and textured in Cinema 4D R11 and rendered with Vray 1.1.
• Polygons: 4 275 906.
• Objects: 2560.
• Textures: 146 files in 2,56Gb.
• Shaders: 223.
• Lighting: physical sky.
