This project is part of an assignment for my studies at FH Salzburg. The goal was to create a photorealistic still life - preferably situated on a desk.I decided to play a bit more with lighting and the warmth of lights than usual to create a moody scene. The general feel and look is inspired by my previous cozy home office render, I wanted the two projects to have a similar flair.-Most assets were made from scratch in Autodesk Maya for practice. I mostly used public domain PBR textures, but some Quixel Megascan roughness textures were used aswell.-Initially, the plan had been to utilize VRay for the final render, but due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation and lockdown regulations, I wasnt able to take advantage of the university work machines that had a license for the renderer. Thus I exported the entire Maya scene, recreated all materials from scratch and - at last - fell back on Blender Cycles for rendering.-Due to the hardware limitations of my home office machine, I looked for ways to get a larger resolution than I could comfortably render. I ended up upsampling the native FullHD image to 4x the initial size and was quite suprised at how the details were interpolated by the deep learning ai. I wouldnt consider using this method for commerical renders just yet, but the technology is interesting nonetheless.
[翻译] : 这个项目是我萨尔茨堡应用技术大学课程的一部分。目标是创建一个逼真的静物画——最好放在书桌上。我决定比平时更多地探索灯光和光线的温暖，以营造一种情绪氛围。整体感觉和视觉风格受到了我之前温馨家庭办公室渲染的启发，我希望这两个项目有相似的气质。
