John Lewis Curtains & Blinds intro

John Lewis Curtains and Blinds projects are lifestyle project that have a batch job style output. For each fabric assigned by the client there are are five outputs for Curtains and four outputs for Blinds. The client will brief us on which fabrics they require in which outputs. Sometimes it is both Curtains and Blinds, and other times it is just one type. At the end of the job we rename the outputs as per the client's brief, and the final output is SRGB TIFFs and JPGs in both 3K and 6K

The client changes the brief slightly from project to project, so there isn't really a one-size-fits-all-approach, but the basics are outlined below. For example they will specify a new curtain or blinds model to put into old sets, or change the room set décor slightly. Hopefully there is enough info here to start on the right foot.

For Curtains the 5 outputs are Front Open, Front Closed, Alt, Front short and Detail.

The Blinds Outputs are as follows. Notice the Detail shot doesn't show the fabric, so the same render can be used across different fabrics.

The 19 sets are shown them below with their outputs, so they can be quickly linked to their respective scenes.
