Hi, We’re Meedo, a group of CG artists from Poland. We were asked by Renderspirit to share with You about one of our latest projects, ‘loft apartment’.

As usual we began our work from creating a basic solid of the apartment. In the next step we added some elements that would give our interior an industrial feel.

The last step of modelling was to exploit the space of our loft keeping in mind it’s functionality.

Some of the models are made particulalry to meet the needs of our loft.
Part of them is available at our website in the download section www.meedo.pl/download

The next part of our project was adding textures. Large portion of the materials was created basing on textures from www.cgtextures.com. Of course they needed a little work ie. making them easily tilable, what can be achieved using Photoshop.

Floor
To create the floor material we used multitexture material ( http://www.cg-source.com/multitexture.php ) which excellently works along with a free floorgenerator script (http://www.cg-source.com/floorgenerator.php )

In the next step we took care of the lighting setup. As the main lightsource we used a regular VRaySun + Sky and used VRayPlanes in the window spaces with Skylight portal on.For the extra kitchen lighting we added VRayLight planes under the shelves.
