thank you to Respond to my objective @marked001 said: looks like a good start thank on your fan to me @marked001 said: the first thing that pops out at me is that planter in the foreground of the first image....doesnt look like its sitting on the ground....? I agree with your opinion In the next design I will avoid such a mistake @unknownuser said: I agree. The perspective of the image is slightly from above, so it doesn't work that well, and the fact that it's in the foreground draws attention to the issue. When it comes to things like that, you might just be better off modeling it. Thank you for good advice @marked001 said: … Also, the balcony lights being that bright in the middle of the day is a bit odd. I want to show the location of lighting In the next design I will avoid such a mistake

Welcome Welcome Good start but need to see more detail before we can Crit your model. You look like you have a good shape going. Look forward to seeing it develop.

The lawn looks awesome. Is it displaced? You can try adding a tree somewhere out of the frame that will cast some shadows into the shot, and give a reason for the leaves to be on the lawn. You could also try adding some detail to the window frames and slightly rounding some of the edges. Also the wood doesn't have an exterior feel to me. Perhaps something a little more weathered would help. I also think the camera could be repositioned a little to gain more of focal point and tell a better story.

Crickey, very intense.

thanks jamalito

The cars need something to them. I would try adding some reflections, because they stand out to differently. And I know you are probably only working with a single palm image that you have for photoshop but I would search around and find a good palm model to maybe add in the scene...I know there has been some posted on here and in the warehouse. With that said, the building and everything else really looks great. I really like the background image and how it works with the building.

The first two images aren't very crisp, as if they are out of focus. Also, you might want to consider modeling more of the surrounding site, so you don't have those black areas in the corners. Third image looks great.

Lovely job

One more.... [image: mama9.jpg] By sepo100 at 2009-07-14

Hi d12dozr, i use Kerkythea.

Hello thank you for the suggestions, the grass actually has a bump map on it but it doesn't seem to work, I used Vray for rendering, after knowing Vray for SU I dropped max and start to use SU+Vray.. I will adjust the composition since this is still a W.I.P., and by the way Mac could you explain this anti aliasing filter a bit so I could apply it? I hav here another angle but the glass destn't have reflections yet I am stil; searching for a nice looking reflection image if you guys can recommend one to me please do.[image: Xkmj_COMMERCIAL1Bcopy.png]

Only 1 door? You sure it wouldn't get crowded? I obviously don't know about what was asked, and don't know how busy it would be, but it's just something that I was thinking when I saw it.

yeah u fix that seam and this one will look like a photo

@marked001 said: the only thing that bugs me is the color of the door...and it probably wouldnt if it wasnt the default color in sketchup....haha.... i now cringe whenever i see that color in any model! lol. Comes to show how people's tastes differ: I actually made a 'real' Vray mat out of that color (so I could add reflection, as the default mat renders diffuse). Love that color! @honoluludesktop said: No limitations on creativity, or art. Just find the right school, or person to study under. I see your point, I think. Still, architecture would be the wrong choice for me. I am interested in architectural forms for reasons that are solely artistic. Also, at the end of the day, there's simply not that many clients who'd allow their architect to push it as far as, say, Gregor Schneider does. Believe me, I pondered upon this prior to my studies, as well as afterwards, and while I deeply love architecture, there is simply no way I could be content being an architect.

Pues eso! Final render Sí background [image: 3700268079_e9f32eae2a_o.jpg]

I used to have several (or at least the demo version of); Indigo, Kerkythea, Irender, and I think one more that I can't remember. I got rid of them all except for Kerkythea. They all had something that was particularly good about them, one was fast, another let you do lots of work in Sketchup which made texturing easier, one had advanced texturing capabilities but was very slow - but Kerkythea has the best of all worlds as far as free renderers go, so it didn't make sense to concentrate on more than one renderer. I'm sure folks with paid-for render apps like Vray and Maxwell will have different reasons.

i c i c thanks man! ill surely look into it!

As I repeatedly say as long as the client likes it, it is a sucess! we often look at things thru a different prism than our clients, we get overly picky and all the while it still is going to blow the client away ... beautiful image and great render, and you got paid, even better!
