My Bathroom

[Lucky-Shirt]

Due to a little accident in the bathroom, I have to re-decorate it. It isn´t really that bad, but I do have broken some things (by accident, that is), but I have the time to first model the bathroom in Max.

Here is the start of it. Everything is meausured up in mm and put in Max. I´m thinking of doing it over in Inventor or Mechanical Desktop. There isn´t much mechanical in a bathroom, but I worked with these programs many years and know them much better, but I want to learn Max better.

I have been playing around with some textures and lighting. 5 spotlights in the ceiling and with raytraced shadows I get the nice shadows of the showerwalls (the checker thing).

I´m not happy with the tiles. I used a raytraced material, with tiles in the diffuse slot. Used a smokemap in the tiles slot and just color in the grout slot. Also a tiles in the bumpmap with the tiles color black and a gradientramp in the grout slot. I thougt that could give the grouts al little rounding by adjusting the ramp, but I don´t get it to work. Also the reflections do not show. I could use some help here for nice tiles…..

Crits, comments, suggestions, all is welcome!

The tiles on the left of image need major work, perhaps a different texture for the floor?

The small dark grey strip of tiles on the left is a corner. But you are right about the tiles. They do need major work, but you don´t want to know the time I already put in this.

Tiles on the walls are all the same material. Tiles on the floor are a different material. I´m thinking of making a different color row of tiles on the walls, also smaller tiles, but haven´t figured out yet how to do that.

I will first try to make this tiles more realistic then they are now, then I can always try to put more variance in it later......
