Been wanting to do this for a while - this is where I'll post my renders from now on, unless it's something specific which needs a thread of it's own.
With these first batch of images I've focused on lighting and texturing, using Area lights heavily, by themselves or sometimes with HDR's worked up in HDR Light Studio. Textures are from either Substance Designer, Poliigon or my own library.
Models from a variety of sources, either free, purchased or modeled by me - for instance, the hair on the rocking chair throw was done in Cinema 4D, then exported as geo.
Thanks for taking a peek - most of the renders are worth a look full size.
And sorry, lots of chairs, but they seem to be my favourite subject at the moment...
Oh... shoutout to Mr Oxholm for the dust label trick :)
Nice work! I really love the lamp and the samsung speaker! Might i ask where you got the concrete texture, it's great! :) I would love if you would share it :)

That's it for now...
Wow! All of them are sweet! How did you make the cloth? Marvelous Designer?
Looks awesome. What about the stitching on the leather chair? Did you model it?

Awesome work, John. If I had to pick, I like that stool the best. 8)

QuoteAwesome work, John. If I had to pick, I like that stool the best
Thanks Chad, the stool was the first one I did actually, but my particular favourite is the leather and metal chair
John,
Can you show us the material graph of the Stool2 ?
Thanks
Thanks for the shoutout 8)
All are great work for sure, but my favorites are the BandB chair and rocking chair. Amazing job!
Jaw-dropping, John. These are all simply fantastic product shots.
woow!! I love the view of the rockingchair...

Sure, but my machine is being re-imaged today, so it will be at the weekend. Don't expect too much though, it's pretty simple

Cheers Josh, thanks for the FB exposure :)
Quotewoow!! I love the view of the rockingchair...
Thanks !! yeah I like that one too...
John-
These are all just so fantastic! I think my particular fav is the Kresla chair. Amazing. The photographic level of realism and detail in your works is remarkable, and at times brings to mind Bertrand Benoit (that's meant as a very high compliment, by the way :) ). Thanks for sharing with us...
Cheers,
Eric
Beautiful set of images!
Actually there are no words to say John! you rock man! love every piece of the collection , The stool , BandB and the rocking chair are my favourite ones!
:)
more than well done ... very inspiring. The lamp and the stitches on the dark leathered chair are standing out for me
Thumbs up!
I saw these when I was away! That last one is my favorite. Stellar work.
Always, always such a joy to see the impeccable perfection in your work John. Fantastic.
Hi John. The samsung speaker and the stool really blew my mind. The mood in both of them is really fantastic, specially in the stool image. It's great to see that you started adding dust and imperfections maps to your materials (it's kind of addicting to do this :P). Cheers !

Thanks very much Eric, you're too kind I'm sure... Bertrand Benoit, he's some guy - his interiors are things of beauty.

Hey, thanks very much - it wasn't me who modeled those stitches though, can't take credit for that...

Thanks very much Nicolas, I also like the speaker and stool - your comment is much appreciated :)
Props to Esben for the 'new additions added to subject heading idea' :)
These have zero post, all lighting effects were done inside KeyShot - thanks to Nachriesco for the Bronze Patina material

MatGraph work to mix stone textures
Well, i have a new favourite :P Really great work on the mat graph.
Simply amazing, John. Beautiful lighting and texturing work...outstanding :)
Eric
The close up on the stone material is crazy ;)
Bravo
This is some next level stuff right here. WOW! Love that stone texture. Also if you haven't mentioned this already, what is your modeling workflow?

This is super cool, John! Is the stone ground a displacement from C4D? Also, not to nit pick :), but the "US ARMY" label is sliced...was this intentional, or is the projection depth perhaps not quite high enough?
Cheers,
Eric
I absolutely love that detail top trimetric shot of that stone figure. One of my favorites from you yet, John. Astonishing work! Got your ways around stone materials:)

Thank you Eric, yes, the stone ground is a Substance Designer borne height map used as a displacement map in C4D, then baked and exported - and the cut-off label I already knew about would you believe, but I've been working on this off and on for months now, originally I was working on a similar model but then found this better one. Anyway, it was on my 'fix' list, but got overlooked, I'm slipping ::)
Oh and you were correct about why it looked shit, depth projection wasn't high enough ;)
Anyway, I've corrected and swapped the image.

Thanks Hossein, there actually isn't that much actual MatGraph work to it, mostly lighting :)
QuoteAmazing bunch of renderings here!

Always nice to get a comment from you Esben, Area Lights are really cool to play with, if only they'd res up a little quicker ;)
A couple of additions...
Lu Yu scan was lit with area lights only and the AMG wheels are KeyShot generated HDRI and 1 area light.
Again , Lu Yu material is awesome man !
Wheels are clean but stone material is top !
I've tried to render some wheels myself but to be honest I've never even get close to this! :D
that stone material is top-notch!very great as always!
What is the material graph of the stone ?
thanks
