I decided to join the trend of rendering chairs that seems popular lately, so I thought I'd give it a shot! The main inspiration came from a render I saw on the Vizpeople blog, which motivated me to fire up my PC at 2 am and get started.

This is a small project, and thanks to the Interactive Production Renderer (IPR), I was able to set up the lighting quickly. Below, you'll find a breakdown of the post-production process and a screenshot of the scene and lighting setup.

I’ve used 3ds Max, Vray, Photoshop, and ArionFX.

The chair model used can be downloaded for free from the following link: Merano Armchair by TON.

Update: I've also created an additional video to test Vray 4.0 beta, which you can view below.

I hope you enjoy the result!
