Gatehouse renders
-
two attempts at rendering a gatehouse for a project i am doing. in one i used some sketchup trees whose leaves did not render. then i inserted a background in the second in photoshop.
time of render in podium: 4min. + 10 min in photoshop for the first one and 15 for the second.
i am glad i am making progress. slow and steady.

Great start!
Why is your viewing angle so low to the ground? Makes me feel like I fell skateboarding or something.
-
Edson, have you been working on the structural part of that gatehouse? If so do you have any construction views so we could see how it's built?
-
Might want to try and find a better stone texture for the walls as well, its tiling quite badly
Nice render though, i can see good things if you keep going with it.
-
ah.. i think i remember this project... i agree about the stone texture, but looks like a great start and i definitely love the design.
-
i thank you all for your comments.
eric,
i lowered it a bit trying to make a small building look more impressive. if it gives you that impression maybe the clients will feel that way too. i'd better make it a normal point of view.joe,
yes i have. right now what i have is a tentative structure based on my not-so-extensive experience with wooden structures. later on i will submit it to some expert on the matter. if you like, i can send you a few pictures of it.remus,
i had noticed the tiling problem. but, as i am learning, i am taking one step at a time. it was more important at this moment to get the lighting, the color of the texture and the bump right than fixing the tiling problem. later on i will get to that. -
I do like Edson, I'd very much like to see the structure and give some comments on it. I'm very interested in roofed entrys/gatehouses.

thanks, jason. you remember well. this is a project i have been working on for 3 years. they did not like a flat-roofed gatehouse so i designed this one.
as we had to spend a lot of time dealing with environmental licensing, the actual design was put on hold so the clients have not seen this yet (which is not such a bad thing since when i show it to them i will be able to use these renders).
-
Edson, really nice! (thought this one would have been long done by now...so it often goes, huh?) I like the lowered viewpoint, but see Eric's point: how 'bout sitting-in-a-small-car viewpoint...a happy medium?

Edson
What did you use for the grass in the forground? I have been looking for good grass materials and components.
BTW nice renderings!

Looks great, Edson. In my pickiness, have two comments for what they're worth:
On the horizontal boards, you might want to shift the textures on some, maybe even rotate 180 degrees, so they don't look like clones.
Wouldn't that wood weather to a gray over time? It appears very orange on my computer.

i agree with with your comments. ideally i would have addressed those problems earlier but as i am a newbie at this i left some refinements to do later. my main goal at this point is to get the lighting right, then comes texturing.
