Hairy Sofa

I took a very basic sofa model and applied a Cinema 4D hair module to it. Using the Hair Brush tool you can easily style the hair and control the end result (Fig.05).

Carpet

A very vital part of the image was the carpet. Since it's in the foreground it needed to be detailed. In my work I don't like using displacement maps and I try to model everything as much as possible. That's why I decided to do so with the carpet in this project. I also used a MoGraph displace deformer for this one (Fig.06).

Lighting and Rendering

For the rendering I used V-Ray. There are two lights in the scene: a dome light with an HDR image in the texture slot and a VraySun (Fig.07 – 08). In addition to the RGB render I always render other channels like raw reflection, raw GI, raw light and material ID to use them in the post-production phase (Fig.09).
