Scene from Archinteriors vol. 38 inspired by Salt Lake City public library.
This scene is inspired by Salt Lake City public library. Bended roofing made of glass panels, arched wall on the right, greenery inside - there was a lot of work to do here and the building in particular wasn't easy to create. Let's see how does it look in 3ds Max. This scene can be bought separately (€50) or with Archinteriors vol. 38 collection (€120) in Evermotion Shop. The scene was created by Piotr "Joker" Mróz from Evermotion.

Above all we placed a dome with Vray Override material.

Dome material settings. As you can see we used sky bitmap for diffuse and another "cranked" version to enhance reflections. We could use HDRi instead, but this method (bitmap in two versions and override material) is less noisy for interiors.
