      I rarely show anything I've designed and modeled myself so here we go. A living pod I designed as a small part of my final 2nd year project. Designed as a small retreat for artists in Cushendun, Northern Ireland

      How does the image appear to everyone btw? too dark? I'm asking cause I have an x-black lcd with double lamp, so it looks normal to me..

        I believe you're renders are very expressive of the exterior shell as a sculptural form. There appears, at least to me, to be a disconnect in the way the structure meets the sky and the way it meets the earth. This may have been intentional on your part, or may not have. I do very much like the simple elegance the form portrays to me, although additional interior views might serve you better in explaining the building as a living pod. Your last image is a tad dark, but I actually find the hue suited to the design. Good work. πŸ‘

          PDC,

          Bring it by, I want a couple... Not that into the idea of hitting the road to Ireland, but I understand they kick some good beer there...

          That might do it.

          You could get your mad happy man snake elevator all percolating it a shack like that I'm thinking...

            I LOVE these renders! Such a beautiful balance between hyper-realism and artistic license: the distorted, almost motion blurred foreground and the deliberate banding in the sky are perfectly dramatic for highlighting such a simple design. What render software are you using and how much of the final image is post-processing?
