What is your Workflow?

First topic message reminder :

I think its good to share kung anu yung workflow natin from modelling to post processing. And how do you export it from one image to another.

here are my common workflows:

modelling:

architectural: Sketchup most of the time. If plans are complicated I normally import autocad drawing to sketchup and turn them into Group for tracing and reference.

product models: i use jpg pictures as reference and model them using sketchup. most of the time i have 2 or 3 views.

organic modelling: workflow - sketchup na halos.

rendering:
- sketchup output for quick presentation for interior sometime using Light Up for interior and export them as jpg. (mabilisan)
- rendering using sketchup pluggin like podium, vray su, kerkythea (before), twighlight or (average speed) and most of the time diffuse and alpha are save either with jpg or png.
- sometimes i export the 3ds to max, add some components and rendered using Vraymax (matagal sa akin to) then save the render image either in bmp, png
- in other cases kapag product i used hypershot or sometimes indigo. saved them in png

post processing: Photoshop siempre but sometimes i use photomatix from the 3 rendered different exposures.

i have to admit that vraysu lags far more behind than vraymax. kung baga yung vraymax talagang establish na. ikalawa yung SU hirap talaga sa pagsuporta ng maraming polygons. so yung parsing time. pagcalculate ng su gemetry and materials medyo matagal.. kaya nga marami ang nagrerender sa varymax rather than vraysu. i guess the prefered workflow ng karamihan ay imodel sa max ang basic architectural structure tapos gawin sa max ang nalalabi.

the question is bakit hinid ako mag vraymax render.. kasi nga dahil raw na raw sa max, hinid ko maipalitaw ang nagagawa ko sa SU and i am very frustrated with that.

i will be in manila too. end of march naman mga isang week. but will be in singapore end of feb. i guess when you are in the philippines. pero palagay ko kung magsstay ka ng more than a year magkikita pa tayo.

workflow ko pa rin is cad , max, and photoimpact minsan lng ako mag sketch pag nauubusan na ng utak sa kakaisip ng hand sketching muna before cad he he he he,lalo na sa facade

so yung photo impact ang ginagamit mo sa post processing?

actually i saw a very interesting work flow. and parang gusto ko ring gawin. after nga initial render. i piprint nya yung render. then he will overlay ink and pencil dun sa rendered image.

yap dati photo shop ako but may di kaya ng ps kontra sa pi ko the file compression advantage from a 20mb image file sa ps sa pi gagawin nya 400 kb na lng without distorting the image quality..

wow that is really good to know jums.. thanks for sharing your workflow.

weapon ko yan as in secret weapon he he he, kung napapansin mo sa mga post ko madali lng i open kasi halos karamihan na save sa photo imapct from max more often 20mb up from hi res renders and open and editted sa photo impact 400 kb up na lng sya..di pa napapalitan ang quality...

ha will look at your secret weapon now... hehehe. see this is what i mean how important for me this workflow.

you might want to see the workflow of Ronen Bekermans workflow tutorial from autocad to post processing in this tutorial.

Interestingly, Alex Roman has used the almost the same workflow (part2) but instead using a ready made model at google warehouse here.

haaai..matry nga po mag su..anong latest su po gamit nyo?..
tapos sa rendering po sa max nyo ginagawa?

kasi workflow ko po model sa cad, mats and render sa max, post sa ps..
sa exterior po yun..

now nagaaral po maginterior, mahirap gawin sa cad..
kaya try ko mag su naeenganyo ako sa workflow nyo mga masters..

sir jums salamat sa pagshare ng secret nyo..weee.ayos to! hehe
