very nice image there..the water colours looks blended with the image.warm for my eyes. if could you post the skp image Allanx? thanx Okto

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.

Tricky but you must have the spirit painter's eyes!

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. [image: fZ30_eyes.png]

Beautiful!

Thanks for the feedback people

Thanks, tinanne!

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. [image: 8wfL_Bachelor-Loft-Bedroom-Final.png] [image: Sj5S_Bachelor-Loft-Living-Room-final.png]

I like the design and style. Old blueprints.

Like postcards .

Yes, all the trees, plants & grass are 3d. I modelled a couple of bespoke trees in Onyxtree to suit my needs.

@landie said: Brad. I can tell you enjoy this style of image and it pays off. To push them to the next level I'd say you should knock back the black line from the model a little to blend more with your entourage, but the big one for me is to fill the windows with life. They really are the eyes of a building and need to sparkle. Reflections / blinds / curtains, maybe a clear view through windows on other elevations. It'll make a massive difference if you get it right...which I'm sure you can. In what ways do you use Painter Brad. Its a fave of mine Cheers Thanks Landie, I appreciate your comments. You're spot on about the windows too. That's something I'm never quite happy with. I'll do some experimenting. As far as Painter goes, I absolutely love that program. I've had it for sometime now but haven't used it much until this year. I find it more and useful all of the time. I use it quite a bit for touch-up after running filters in Photoshop. I also use it ad some of the painterly effects to my renderings. I have a rather small tablet at this point, but I'd like to start using Painter to do more.

to the OP, i think softening up the shadows would make these things. really nice as is, though.

Well done!

i have a feeling the realistic shot will probably end up being more difficult than these.. unfortunately, this project is now on hold while the client gets his finances in order and finalizes his lease... or so the 'story' goes

Nice work, but (to me) the engines look like two large ball-point pens, complete with the spring for the "clicker". But you know what they say about opinions

Hi Chriss, Thanx for the comment. No clipmap/bilboards. I only used 3d models for planting. I used the new proxy2 feature in vrayforC4D. It works ery well with cinema cloner objects and surface spread. Greetz Twan

I think these images are flippin RAD

John, Just signed in and noticed the porch. I think it look better with, but it is all a matter of choice. kind regards, Bob
