Making of Abandoned building

This work is one of most interesting images I ever did. The idea was a vision from my mind for abandoned building. I felt that I live inside the design and I worked with every single details as if it was the design itself. It was very nice journey with the world of textures and lighting.

LIGHTING

I've used three light's:
1 - target direct light to act the sun light.
2 - Vray light (plane) behind the room window.
3 - Vray light (plane) outside the room in the left side.

TEXTURING

I've depended 90% on texturing to show the desired look of the abandoned building, So I've worked very deeply with the details of the textures:

1 - Room wall texture:

5 - Door handle texture:

7 - Candle stick material:

RENDER SETTINGS

VOLUME LIGHT

Because the volume light is not working with vray shadow in dierct light, so I made two renders passes.
The first pass is normal render with vray shadow but without the volume light.
The second pass rendered with shadow maps and I give all models a black materials by override mtl in the vray general settings to show volume light only in this pass and I've composed the two images in Photoshop.

The final result:
