Making of realistic kitchen – 3ds max and vray

Kitchen 1 is a part of bigger project consisting of 31 kitchen interiors of different styles. Modelling was done with 3d Studio Max 2009 and rendered with Vray 1.5SP5. In this tutorial we show You the process of making a classic kitchen, beggining with component modelling through applying textures and ending with lighting and Vray setup.

Modelling.

Interior.

Begin with the floor which is nothing extraordinary and already at this point put on textures and map. That will make choosing right lighting easier.
With the line tool draw the outline of the interior and apply Extrude modifier with 10cm value.

Give MapScaler modifier to the drawn line and apply a material prepared earlier. Material setup below.

Copy the lines which create the floor. New one will be the base to build walls of the interior.

With the line options (right panel) define the height and width of the walls.

Convert the object to Editable Poly and using basic functions build the interior.

Baseboards and profiles on the ceilling and walls are modelled using line tool with Snaps Toggle on. We model stucco utilizing Sweep Profile script.

All other decorations are build based on the same script.

Kitchen front.

It’s the most important piece of the scene. We build it importing .dwg file with board and frame sections.

Using line we draw the frame section.

We create a plane with dimensions corresponding to our kitchen front. The plane we be our auxiliary solid to setup the front.
Extrude the frame section to be a little bigger than the Plane and convert it to Editable Poly.
Cut it at 45 degree angle using Slice Plane and delete expendable polygons.

With mirror tool create a copy of the object. Snaps Toggle comes in handy again allowing us precisely fit these elemnts. Next step is to Attach these two element and join vertexes with Weld. Remember to remove unneeded polygons on meeting spots.

Adjust part of the frame to the Plane.

Copy part of the frame and adjust it to the dimensions of Plane. Side parts of the frame are created by rotating the lower part by 90 degrees.

We fit the height of the frame dragging vertexes and copy the element with Mirror tool.

The board, eg. the inner part of the front, is done with the same pattern. Fronts of other dimensions are completed by dragging vertexes. (Picture below shows a complete front)

Front Material.

Divide the front to three parts with Mesh Select modifier: upper and lower part of the frame, left and right part of the frame and the board. Next map each of these element. In reality every part of frame is made with a separate piece of wood and the put together, that’s why we divide it our model.

Our scene.

Scene we made looks like this.

Camera setup.

VraySun setup.

Other lighting setup.

Vray setup.
