Plans and Sketches…

3D version of the completed room from the top view

5

The Very Basics…

6

For creating cornice, a reference image had been downloaded, right after that, in Max, the same design was mimicked using spline lines.

Later ‘Extrude’ modifier was applied to give the thin line some weight.

7

For creating a semi spherical cornice for using in the corners of the walls, a face from the existing cornice was borrowed, then using a

1/4th of a spline circle, the face was ‘extruded along the spline’; producing arcs for the pillars as well.

8

At first the frame of the window was imagined on a piece of paper, then while designing, the shape of the handle and its

height was determined.

9

Each window is constructed with two different slides, each having a handle to open or close, each slides have a thick glass which refracts the suns bright light into the room.

10

The couch was also thought before starting push buttons on Max, the sketch shows the primary box type structure for the

sofas side, back and cushions.

11

The 3d version of the sofa has taller pillows than the concept, to give it a bit more realistic look, also the sitting cushions are

deformed using soft selections of the vertices and then adding 4x4x4 FFD modifier in the Max.

12

The armchair was made straight into max manipulating a box, each side was cloned and then connected using few

pieces of chamfered elements.

13

Bookshelves are the most integral part of the room, the most detailed objects were found on each shelves, specially the

colorful books gave a touch of realism.

14

To enhance further realism, pipe-like wooden pieces were modeled, the shelves racks were mounted on top of those small knobs which goes into the side of each compartments to hold the corresponding

planks on top.

15

Mixed shelves were used directly opposite of the couch, since it is an ideal place to put a television set on, although because this room is for reading only, there were vases and picture frames were put on

top, where various books in the center compartment.

16

These simple looking wall shelves were instanced several times to cover big portion of the room empty wall area, they are chamfered

into several segments in order to look more natural. A dark oak textures been assigned for a final touch.

17

There are two different lamps are lighting up the room, the first one is the ceiling lamp, located on the center of the roof.

18

Ceiling lamp was modeled using several vertical connections along the edge ring, after few steps of edge separation, the line of

polygons in-between were extruded in negative value, finally the were scaled down a tad to give its mandarin look.

19

The second type of the lamp is plane and simple floor stand lamp, there were nothing special done for this lamp except

using the lathe modifier in the bottom part.

20

Lathe modifier was applied on a close ended splines to create this model, the edge of each vertices ware curved smooth

using Max’s ‘fillet’ tool.

21

There are dozens of small decorative pieces are placed on our 3d room, most of them are located on top of the shelves or inside.

Bottles, vases, frames, boxes, candles and many more are gathered together to make the room looks lively.

22

Vases

23

There are many different vases been modeled from the scratch for this scene, the most effective way of using lathe

modifier was the key for making most of these décor of glasses.

24

Some of them were textured as metal, some were aluminum, depending on the environments temperature and mood each vase had been placed on the most suitable position.

25

Some of them were textured as metal, some were aluminum, depending on the environments temperature and mood each vase had been placed on the most suitable position.

26

Few of them were textured as marbles, so that it gives the impression of solidity and vibrant atmosphere. Some of them were applied marbles just to make the surrounding a bit more antique

enriched.

27

This vase along with few others were applied glass material, that has real IOR value to pass light photons to an object, hence the lifelike reflection of the corresponding object behind the glass brings the

level simply up.

28

Few different types of picture frames including wall and desktop were placed in the scene. Most of the pictures were downloaded off

of the internet and placed using UVW map modifier.

29

This interesting box was used several times in the scene, its sides are made out of aluminum and the some of the cloned boxes are

applied with black plastic, some are applied with white paper materials.

30

Candle stands are made with lathe modifiers. A standard distance between two vertices determine certain thickness to the stand, so that after applying a low IOR glass material, the stand looks solid,

also fog is applicable for these stands, giving an option to have variety of colors.

31

The candles are on the other hand are made out of solid cylinder shapes, after chamfering the top edges and adding the fuse, candles were applied with very light translucent refraction. So that the wax

looking characteristics are perfectly preserved.

32

Bottles for these scene were designed in many different sizes and shapes, most of them were used scaled down to fill up

empty silhouette of the room.

33

Alongside the curtains there are few different variety of fabrics applied to the scene, for the curtains a line of spline was

manipulated with Bezier handles to give those curves, later FFD modifiers were applied to give more lifelike finish.

34

Books, books and more books…

35

Many different collection of books were filled into the shelves, the bookshelves and the mixed shelves are basically

filled with millions of pages of these books.

36

Most of the books are downloaded from the internet, all of them uses their own texture for covers, the asset list have

more details.

37

The organic touch…

38

The most essential part for a believable 3d environment are the plants, their organic structures and the model of

magnificent details always adds up to the scene.

39

Despite being heavy on the scene, some of the plant models were used in some key points of the room, to balance out the

equation of nature vs. non-living ratio.

40

Most of the used plants are downloaded from the internet, they are from cg-axis.com the asset details have more

information on them.
