      Might want to try and find a better stone texture for the walls as well, its tiling quite badly πŸ˜‰

      Nice render though, i can see good things if you keep going with it.

          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?

                  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.
