Hello Dale, I was following your new house thread and agree the Stone Mason was worth his weight in gold, this is what I'm saying about the "old school". When he's gone so have his skills and experience built over many years. Over here it seems now you can pick a paint brush up and your a Decorator, a saw your a Joiner (Carpenter). My opinion is it's too late now over here by 10-20 yrs sadly.
Thank you Peter, the old ones are the best.

Not bad, I've seen maxwell do some amazing things though, explore the program some more. Remember renderings aren't just "renderings".. that image itself tells nothing. Think of it as a picture and how the photographers eye would see it. That was my first pointer and it has worked.
Thanks everyone, Pete we had the same brakes, vividly remember dreading going home after forgetting to change my school shoes!
Anssi, seems the kids have a different view of fun today, to them exertion is plugging in a USB.
I was never any good at games, if we played Doctors and Nurses I always had to be the Ambulance Driver!!
A quick filter and desat, lost heart in this one

I think it looks great. I wish I could do as well.
That said, I would suggest less pavement in forground, if possible. The tree on the right is too stylized for the rest of the picture.
It's beautiful
Yeah, a tutorial, but I can also assume some past involvement with art. he he
Which happens to be the most important.
Here we have a clear vision of the architectural work, in a way that no physically correct render can produce. Just notice the play between these figures and the trees. This exactly projects the scale of these buildings. The scale in a more philosophical manner. A script.
Some crits. The girl (bubbles), should look much closer to camera but let's not make it more difficult for the clients

I think what is missing in the renders are the little details. Things like:
Wall power outlets
Wall light switches
Other items to make the spaces look "lived in".
These are the types of things commonly missed. When people do remember the little items it is what makes a render realistic. The best advice is research home magazines and really look at the pictures and see all the small details and not just the space overall.
The last image for example only has 5 items in the shot:
A painting
lamp
table
sofa
chair
things you could add:
Magazines or books
rug
plants
The other things is don't always take the obvious direction of the light. Here you chose the light to come through the windows because they are in the scene. What about placing the light coming through a window behind the camera? Not as obvious and can add more realism.

It's definitely the eyes... they kinda look like painted caps. It comes down to subsurface light scattering or something, right? (I'm pretending I know what I'm talking about). Looking past that, the rest looks amazing.

Wow, 2 years almost to the date. LOL Thought I'd post the final images. Thank you all for you help on this project. I made a world of difference.
