I thought about sharing the latest project released by Chocofur.com in collaboration with other great Blender studio: blackchilla.pl
The scene you see below is entirely done in Blender and rendered in Cycles. There is some basic post production added in Photoshop (curves, color balance etc). The average render time per picture is about 60 - 90 minutes on a laptop version GTX 1070.
If you’re interested in getting your hands on the scene itself, it can be purchased through the Chocofur Store (scene includes over 50 Chocofur assets you can later use in your private / commercial projects).
@PierreSchiller: average render time was between 1-2 hours on a single GTX 1070 on my laptop. I’ve actually used to render all of the above images later using render.st to push the release faster and it costed approximately 5$ per image.
Cool. When I started out learning Archiviz, I thought HDR-lighting was necessary to get a realistic look. But the more I see and experiment, I’ve gradually come to the conclusion that it’s rarely needed at all.
