WIP - Downtown Building
- 
Nice one David!!
I especially like the toon tones (flat) render with the exported and overlaid line work.
 - 
Thanks Pete! Hope to show you more in the coming days...
 - 
try a shot with 2D perspective on. They building looks like it's falling over

 - 
bubba, I especially like the repetitive character of your fassade. gives it a very homogeneous look.
looking forward to see your next image with the building placed in it's context...

 - 
Here is another... no textures just yet! Only color... any input would be helpful! It's a little noisy since this isn't the final version...
Oh... how do I make the image fit the forum?

Hi
i'm not really experienced in rendering stuff, so i apologize for my noob questions...
Which rendering program have you used? I think i should use it too cause i haven't changed my laptop yet and i think it would explode trying some indigo like renderings
Thanks - 
Oh... I should've mentioned that! It is Kerkythea!
 - 
Looking good, but I'm surprised you didn't incorporate a Batman component.
 - 
Haha, I might have to do a separate rendering for fun with a Gotham City feel to it... might see if I can find or model the bat cycle or the tumbler!
 - 
Haha... I see what you're saying! I'm going to be doing the building right next to it tomorrow which should help. Maybe then it won't look like it is falling over...
 - 
i dont know...looks pretty great to me, david... night renders can be tough! really like the super subtle overlay..
 - 
Man, that is really good.
 - 
Looks really good, David.
 - 
Like everyone else have said, it looks really good...

Indeed night renders are tough..!!To improve these, You could change some of the outdoor spot-lights to IES-lights, which I'm sure will add some more realism to the renders...

Please let me know if you need help/advice with this...
 - 
Nice building David.
  
I hope to design something like that some day! - 
All right Frederik... I do need some help! Do you convert mesh to IES lights or do you use the pointlight or spotlights for them! I have the material pack with the IES lights but I wasn't exactly sure how to use them! I'm sure you could lead me in the right direction... Thanks man!

Spot-lights...

My pleasure, David...

The easiest way - perhaps - will be to follow the steps in the Converting spot to IES lights thread at the KT Forum...
The steps may sound a little tricky, but once you've converted a couple, I'm sure you'll agree that it's not that complicated...

(But we are looking for an improvement/easier way to do this...
 )If you get stuck, just send me a PM and I will be happy to help you further...

 - 
only just found the TDK image. nice one - I think I like the overall mood of this image more

oh yes, IES lighting... tried it once with indigo. looks great. but was too lazy to investigate further.
but I am looking forward to see your new night-render with IES
 - 
Thanks guys... I will be doing this rendering for a board... so I will make an attempt to do these IES lights! I also have to do some interior shots so I would think that these would help a lot! Stay tuned...

it's like rendering with piranesi, but that's good technique
