Haste makes waste

Still not big eoungh. The front tree is a sort of gangly teen-age tree. It should be just taller than your arch. The trees in the background look liike they might be closer to full size. The could be a little taller than the house itself. I would say you could still make the house 2x larger at least, and then make the front tree smaller so its not even 1/2 as tall as the back ones. See how that works,

Thanks Chris, I agree about the one in the front and it looks like a young and and should be much smaller. I'm trying to imitate the pros like on this gallery from Russia.

Although that is intense modeling on that referenced page, I would say they also have a scale or rendering problem. You can imagine that house as 5' high model in a bunch of bushes.

Yup, none of this is reality we just imagine all of this sizes.

Trees scaled down again and buildings were left untouched because i wanted to use
the roof tiles as a gauge. Each tile is one foot wide in SU.

I like those tiles and the stucco textures, they are very clean and even. Are they available for free or are they part of some render package?

All these facades without windows are very mysterious!

Roof tiles, You can find them here.

Nice roof tiles and roofs. Isn't that a LOT of work to lay them out?

david57 · 5 Jul 2009, 17:39

No, I think its easy, the hard part is cutting them and takes long.
In real life you have to do this in the hot sun and takes days.

david57 · 5 Jul 2009, 18:09

To cut down the time just use the mover tool. Copy and move.

This take forever to render and its unfinished.

Sir · 9 Jul 2009, 08:29

what renderer are you using? and on what settings? its a very simple scene it shoudln't take too long

david57 · 9 Jul 2009, 13:55

Using Kerkythea and rendering this last one with BiPT.
Others Kerkythea and rendered using MLT.

Sir · 9 Jul 2009, 15:12

ill wait for a kerky expert to pop by then, but does each tree have a separate leaf?

Connor · 9 Jul 2009, 16:04

If this is an outdoor scene lit only by the sun you should try the Progressive Path Tracing setting. See if that speeds things up.

It also looks like a healthy amount of geometry with the modelled roof tiles and trees. That is probably contributing to the speed.

david57 · 9 Jul 2009, 17:56

Yes, PPT, using that now. I have to remove also lots of twigs, stems not seen and unnecessary geometry. Will also try reducing translucency on all trees. I tryed pseudo translucency and doesn't look right.

Palm tree and small plant from Gooogle Warehouse.

david57 · 11 Jul 2009, 23:18

To Mat B: Yes, All trees are using the same leaf.

Here's a front view with the palm. PPT render. I need bushes. Dont like the plant and will check warehouse to see what else they have, there.
