Ok people, I know that the contest is just behind us, but we will not let you rest, so here is another little challenge. This is kind of continuing our interior challenge serie, after the dinning room and living room challenge we have now kitchen for you.
It is simple and minimalistic model, but we hope you will find it inspiring for light and material tests.
Rules and criteria:
1. The basic shape of the room should remain the same. You can change materials as you like.
2. The basic elements distribution (island, storage main line) should remain the same. You are allowed to change material of the ellements, handles, material, type, number and position of doors/drawers/fronts, change light fixtures type and position and so on...
3. POV/camera angle - one image should be submited that is same or as close as possible to refference renders, for the sace of comparation. Other images can be with POV by your choice
4. Deadline for the challenge would be disscussed latter, but it should be within the 1-2 months.
5. the awards will be disscussed latter also, but should be some of the content that wwe will prepare for you, models or textures or simillar... and probably some surprise...

Note: The following link is to a DXF version from the DWG file, it is the most compatible format we could provide and is over 3 megs so it couldn't be attached. From the inside of the room I believe all the normals are correct, from the outside it may appear as if some of the walls are missing. This is the best sollution we could come up with to resolve the problems some people are having with the model. Lets give this a try
