well, where's the render?!

And these last renders are just fine. IMO
Design looks great. 👍 👍 👍

Thanks all for your interest and comments.

I'm not the designer on this house and I never plan to be a designer (excuse the pun).
I'm just the modeller and renderer, so those comments have been helpful. I know there is always room for improvements, and thats why I like to hear what you've said. I'll see if the next lot of renders can surpass this one.

Cheers

mate less foreground and more sky would look better.

you can also use the tree lines to create interesting foreground shadows...just place the tree line behind the camera and make sure the sun shines through it

Good point, I'll see what I can do. I've got two tree between the sun and the building, trying to get the shadows to play across the front.

Olishea those tree lines are very useful, much easier than stacking trees forever!

thanks again

Looks great,if only we could add the purple haze!

Got it! Thanks.
Now we need a good tutorial ...

its pretty simple, turn it on in render settings and you get a slider and a color picker for each light. play away!
(might not actually be that simple but it was for me ;~) )

! 👍 Nice renders - welcome to the forum
many thanks

Mate you really do have this style absolutely nailed. You've managed a really nice consistancy which is always the hardest thing to achieve!! Well done!

🤣 Oli!
great tonka models! thanks for sharing!

My approach is virtually the same as Adams. Like Solo, I typically reserve "wow'ing" or surprising the client with a rendering until it is a $30k+ project.

However, I did render and sign two small $6k projects last week (but the pool contractor that referrred me was happy that he signed both pools). I invested about 2 hours in each rendering, which is a minimal loss of time if they did not buy (but they would not get my 2D or 3D plan if they did not contract).

(Btw, I was quoted in the article - screen name 'Gtrplyr')

Thanks to Adam, who has been a huge help and inspiration, along with all the great contributions here (I am usually a wallflower).

Pretty cool render, Luca. Love it. 👍 👍

Thanks solo! that texture is great! not too flat, not too rough!
i will definitely use it on my next white wall! 😄

Thanks for the links numbthumb!
I will try something tomorrow!

Whow, exactly. 😉 Yes it is true, it is all about the precision of the models. Only it's asking a lot of your computer. and you need a lot of patience.

Here's an update. RoofTiles look small and i might need to stretch
them out in the x direction or i might try the Blender tiles, above.

Got me some Chartpak Ad markers and gouache. Still working on this, but I would like it to look somewhat unfinished.

Ha! And you even changed your avatar picture!
😄

Mate I think the two most important processes are to get two differing sun shadows - you can test this in SU by bringing your first image in as a watermark! Then the other is ensuring your light effects added in PS post pro match closely the sun directions from SU!

Also obviously the choice of line type and density on at least one of the SU exports!

So easy.
So good.
😄

WHAT??!! How is your model in front of your toolbar? eh! 😲

Yes, that is the new Hide Toolbars Behind Model Ruby 😄
Just cut and paste in Photoshop that is all.

Thanks for the comments.
