Making of House in the Forest

由专筑网李梦婷，刘庆新编译

Juan Carlos Torres获得了“2014年第6周最佳渲染”奖，因为他的设计中图的构成元素很好，而且很好的传达了他所想表达的森林住宅的寒冷多雾的视觉效果，使设计很好地与森林环境相融合。跟随本文一起来看Juan描述他如何使用3 dsmax和V-Ray创建这个场景，以及末尾处的一些额外的镜头吧。

Juan Carlos Torres‘s cold and foggy visuals of a House in the Forest awarded him Best Visualization of the Week NO. 06/2014 for the great composition and mood he managed to convey, blending in the design so nicely with the forest environment. Follow this article as Juan describes his process of creating this scene using 3dsmax and V-Ray, with some extra shots at the end. Enjoy!

架构和概念化

该项目的目的是为单身人士在树林里设计一座绿色环保的房子，为了使房子能融入周边环境选择了清水混凝土为主要材料。

建筑中使用了大面积开窗设计，作为混凝土建筑的另一种主要表达形式，就像是使光线自由进入和观赏周边的环境的干净的开口。我所想要的冷雾环境通过混凝土主材料很好的表达出来了，而且还协调了周围环境。

Architecture and Conceptualization
The intention was to design a low-impact house for a single person in the middle of the woods. The house was designed to blend into the environment, with bare concrete as the main material selection.
Large spans were used as windows, as if they are clean openings for allowing light in and view out, in what is otherwise dominant concrete forms. I was aiming for a cold and foggy environment that plays well with the concrete as main material of the house and helps blend it all together.


建模

建筑的几何结构在AutoCAD上建模的。AutoCAD的基本单位是厘米，主要用于低多边形立方体，建立一个非常容易的模型，在渲染阶段将有更多的用途。

Modeling
The architectural geometry was modeled in AutoCAD (I know… don’t ask). The primary units are centimeters, principally for the low poly solids, and the result was a very light model , this will give me a lot more versatility in the rendering stage.

3 dsmax设置单位

在3 dsmax的第一步操作是单位设置,我将显示和系统都设置为在厘米。我通过文件链接管理器功能导入模型，能更快地更新模型。

Units Setup in 3dsmax
The first step in 3dsmax is the units setup , I configure this in centimeters for both the display and the system. I’m importing the model via the file link manager feature which allows a faster refresh of the model when needed.

Gamma and LUT设置(LWF)

开始线性工作流程，将3 dsmax的Gamma and LUT数值设置至2.2更能显示出真实的色彩和纹理，光线也需要做纠正调节。

Gamma and LUT settings (LWF)
I started the Linear workflow process setting the gamma and LUT to 2.2 in 3dsmax to visualize real colors and textures, and the lighting is correct too.

光线和V-Ray物理相机设置

场景光线是用Peter Guthrie中的HDRI图放置了一个V-Ray DOME半球灯，与V-Ray天光产生强烈阴影带偏暖光的亮点。

Lighting and V-Ray Physical Camera Settings
The lighting of the scene is a V-Ray Dome light with an HDRI by Peter Guthrie, linked with a V-Ray Sunlight to get strong shadows and a little warm highlights.

V-Ray物理相机设置:

这是覆盖材料后的第一个光线测试。

材质贴图

主要材质是混凝土和地面，两种材质都是选自CG材料库的纹理材质，并在Photoshop和色彩校正内部V-Ray材质编辑器进行调整。

Texturing
The principal materials are the concrete and the ground, for both I used textures from CGtextures, modified in Photoshop and color correction inside of V-Ray material editor.

绿化景观

在景观绿化方面，我用的纹理材质来自于不同的公司资源，草地和一些小物种来源iCube R&D公司，媒介物种来源于Evermotion，树木都来源于VIZpeople桦树集合。

Landscaping
I used species from different companies for the landscaping, the grass and small species are from iCube R&D, the medium species are from Evermotion , and the trees are from VIZpeople Birch collection.

石头是用岩石生成器生成的。

The stones are modeled with rock generator script.

我用MultiScatter插件创建环境，至于树木和媒介物种，我将其当作边界布置在房子周围来突出入口。

第一个平面的树通过V-Ray代理手动放置。

I used MultiScatter plugin to create the environment, in the case of the trees and medium species I used a border spline around the house to limit the entry.
The first plane trees was located manually using V-Ray Proxies.

V-Ray环境雾

这一步是非常困难的，因为测试时间很长。我建议测试过程中，关闭所有的散射，打开覆盖白色材质。

创建基础几何体，比如场景中树的原始几何体的数量。在后期制作过程中，V-Ray环境元素有利于优化照片。

在V-Ray系统中，不要忘记打开其他参数里的优化大气值选项。

V-Ray Environment Fog
This step is really hard because the tests are very long. I recommend turning off all the scatters and turn on the override white material for the tests.
Create basic geometry like primitives around the scene like trees. The V-Ray atmosphere element will help us to tune the in the post-production process.
Don’t forget turn on the optimized atmospheric evaluation in V-Ray System – miscellaneous.

最后设置

后期制作

我用Photoshop来做第一次后期制作，在屏幕模式和柔光模式下添加渲染元素来改善反射、对比度、雾化效果、渗透度。

第一个PS分解步骤：

Post Production
I used Photoshop for the first post-production session , adding render elements to improve reflections , contrasts , fog, leaks, in screen mode and soft light blending modes.
The first PS breakdown :

通过The Magic Bullet PhotoLooks插件增加元素比如晕影效果、颜色修正效果和漫反射效果：

最后一步是通过ps的knoll light factory插件在黑色图层中增加一点光晕：
