Pool Deck (Week 4) - Filmic Version

From the second BlenderGuru Architecture Academy, PLEASE VIEW LARGE

Comments and critique are very welcome.

4:25 hours to render @ 6,400 Samples, GPU

More rendering with Troy Sobotka's Filmic Blender. New balcony railing.

Before, there were quite defined limits based upon the original lighting.

With filmic blender much more range for correction in post is available.

[The 'bloom' on the pool was added in post; the reflections look iffy to me.]

[Old software maxim: hardware is cheap, software is expensive]

2 hours to render @ 1,500 samples, GPU [Used to be 16 hours, CPU]

Interiors have extreme lighting so this seemed a good test for Filmic Blender.

You can get Troy Sobotka's Filmic Blender here:

I was quite pleased how much of the exterior detail was made available.

I adjusted the colour grade, no other changes. Trying for a wintry feel.

Impressively, Filmic Blender allows for a lot of post-processing.

The highlights can be pushed quite far without blowing-out.

[Check the shadow border, side face of the sofa which used to look a little nasty.]

I am sure the same is true for the shadows. A big thumbs-up from me.
