It's an interesting concept with the cross shape opening letting the light in. A (somewhat) similar thing can be seen here - but with artificial lighting (at about 1 minute in the sideshow). It's now the glass cover of some ancient, Early Christian ruined underground.

Yep, that would be great if lighting is set in this pic.

more editing... how about this ?
use kerkythea preset #19..35 phases it took about 3hr and 55 minute

Hmmm... Well I think maybe a couple of things can still be improved.

I can think of :
1- adding a jpg in the Self luminance tab / Radiance of your white board material : this will create a self lluminant material like a tv screen you'd watch in the dark...
2- try to insert a global sky or some global HDRI. THis will bring some natural reflections to your scene ;
3- maybe some more work on the materials like the columns (they look a bit flat to me... I dunno...) ;
4- maybe place a plant or flower in the foreground and try to move your camera again to catch the plant and the room.

OK well, I hope you'll find this more useful than annoying... And again, experiment with Kerkythea, browse their forum and even maybe post your Work in Progress on KT's forum. Lots of amazingly nice people out there too !

Waiting to see more !

Yep...I agree. Cars are a way of adding selling the idea of a space being welcoming and people are there. Your images are plenty welcoming enough without them. It helps renders for many people...in your case your renders are so good by themselves you absolutely don't need them. I also think the people you use in yourwork, work perfect for your watercolor style.

Always a joy to see your work.

D...to the u...an the ...rant Ha...to .....the.....pke if i knew what you were doing .....i would comment most likely favourably ...but ...as i don't know let me just say looking at your project saves me a fortune in "substances" cause i get high on IT good work well done Fus...of the...... 🎉 🎉 dol

2hrs?! whoa! impressive! 👍
I like the sketchy lines shot too!

Yes, well when it comes to this contest flogging a dead horse is my speciality. I'm actually very glad its almost over and I can refrain from badgering everybody I know...

nice..i've used this too... gets your point across very easily

Thanks a lot for the comments. 😄
I haven't tried out Vray, but I can tell you that Thea is fast. 😄

Very nice render. Other than the moire, I would darken the sky a touch to separate it from the vertical wall. I suspect this probably looks better than your original but the contrast is dumbed down by viewing in the web.

Also I would move the red tree on the left. There is an unhappy coincidence with the bridge. It looks planted on the bridge. Cloning just a touch of trunk under the bridge would fix this.

Lastly just add a little bit of entourage in the foreground to increase the illusion of depth.

But mainly it is a beautiful image.

thanks 😄

ok a test render from Kerkythea with some stock settings. just to get an idea of the final look

Hebelup,

I think the modeling is clean but there are a few issues.

The curtains are all the same and the repetition is obvious. That is one thing that will stand out right away. Try tweaking them to make them all a bit different.
The scene needs far more vegetation so the building does not look to just be dropped on a concrete pad.
Try to show a view that shows the entry to the building. It looks odd that there are no ways of entry from this angle.
The background does not blend to the scene.
Some cars and people are needed to give life to the image.
As said before the building is too clean.
The yellow stripes are too bright and draw your eye away from the building.
The composition/view is too close to the building and does not show how the building affects the surroundings.

Your on your way but the image still needs some work.

Great renders, Adam!

Mr. Mies van der Rohe would give 👍 👍

Have a terrific day.

Thanks KXI! 😄

Thanks Fletch!....and a great eye as always! 😉

Roger: another good solution! And this could be done for multiple colors as well..
