Today, I wanted to showcase a personal project of mine that I’ve been working for a very long time now. It’s probably one of the projects that took me the longest time for me to accomplish. It isn’t a really difficult project per se but it took me a while to determine the direction of my design process. I had too many revisions since I’m not convinced by the kind of look that I wanted to accomplish.
Another reason that prolongs my process is my selection of 3d assets that went into the scene.
Firstly, the 3d trees that I used are memory intensive. It means that most of them are extremely detailed and they took a substantial amount of time to render. And I have a variety of them in this scene. I think I used about 10 types of heavily detailed 3d trees. With the laptop computer that I have, my rig is struggling to render a single image.
The basic specs of my laptop are:
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Intel Core i7
16gig RAM
A 10-year old machine like this is not good enough to handle a scene beyond what I did in this 3d project. And if I add a few more assets, the rendering process will crash before it completes the final result:
Below is the render process breakdown:
Aside from the front view, I also rendered additional views to show the other views of the house:
In this view, I showed the other side of the house from the swimming pool. As I have mentioned in my previous posts, I almost always make sure to add water element to my 3d scene. It makes it more interesting, especially the reflection in particular.
The reflection is actually a time & memory saver for the 3d scene. It requires no memory and only requires very little for the software to calculate the rendering process.
That's all I have for now.
I hope you find it interesting and thank you for your support to my post!
