Condo/high rise

Eric (Boofredlay) modeled this building for a client that apparently never proceeded with the project, I mentioned in another thread that I never get much opertunities to render such building so Eric mailed this one to play with.

I changed a few textures, added a landscape, ecosystem, atmosphere and then rendered in Vue.

Hope y'all like it.

Very nice! I love the inviting color tones that are consistent throughout the render. I hope the render was done at high tide.

very very beautiful!!!!! the harmony of all the subtle shades of colors is just amazing!!!

Questions- how long is the rendering time in Vue for something like 1280x960 size?? is the preview real-time for all the atmospheric effects?

Man that is great!

very nice as usual, Pete.

Wow, it's great! What version of vue do you have? Pioneer, infinite, xstream, etc...?

You are on the right track.
hahahahaha

the bent palm tree right in the distance is awesome!

stunning image you non stop render machine! although personally i wouldn't have cropped the building but im sure you have your reasons!

liam887 · 15 Aug 2009, 15:27

s this all rendered with vue or have you done some post pro work in photoshop aswell? I would also be interested to know how long a render like that takes. Nice shot anyway and that bent palm tree is quality in the background lol.

Thanks guys.

Adam, Yeah the tide is in , I used displacement on the ocean and it displaced a little higher than I expected.

Trillium, I usually render at a 16:9 ratio (1600 x 900) and I render normally under 30 minutes, yes all atmospheres are real-time preview.

Sketchup-fan, I use Vue 7.4 Infinite.

Oliver, no real reason, this is just a quick illustration, lot's of mistakes and things I'd do differently the next time.

Liam, NO post work except for border and logo, the atmosphere, tones and color are all Vue. The original render is 1600 x 900 and rendered in about 20 minutes, the spectral atmosphere and visible sun through clouds slowed it down a little.

I was just browsing through your website and your transformers model is incredible, id love to see a larger image of it if you get round to posting one here!

thank you solo for the reply. the speed, preview and ecosystem feature sounds great! now i'm going to visit your Vue thread post!

Solo
Where is the location of your render, and how can I book my next holiday there.

Blown away. Thanks for sharing

Have to say I'm glad that ugly stucco tower didn't get built! Vue seems quite impressive; the sky/clouds atmosphere are instantly believable. The palms have a somewhat 2d look to them, but overall very nice.

That definately proves that vue can be used in this sort of application. Great job

where's the babes????

wmanning · 17 Aug 2009, 18:46

Is the structural engineer from Pisa?

Great lighting and environment as usual! This might be a fun model to render in a portrait view to emphasize the height.

michaliszissiou · 17 Aug 2009, 19:47

A great landscape, waiting for a big bang.... could be a solution to this pollution. But great lighting as usual pete.

boofredlay · 17 Aug 2009, 21:21

William, here are a couple quickie "in place" renderings done for the unrealized project. I like Pete's version much better
