      Hi FoXy,

      Looks good so far, i don't have much experience with renders yet but i'm learning. Do you think your roof tile should have a little dull reflection?

      Other than that well done. Although i'd hate to be a window cleaner in Olen ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

        Hehe thanks "rclub24", you're right it could use some more specularity (if that is what you mean?).
        Yeah I understand, well the architecture of this block really isn't my style, and all these windows
        being the same (and in a weird curved position) might be a pain the clean them, as long as we get
        'enough' work for these 3D jobs I suppose we won't need to clean them, at least I hope so.

        Cheers,
        FoXar ^^

          There you go, made the shadows softer, some more specularity on the roof and the tree has been finished.

              FoXar...great rendering and good modeling!

              That said and sincerely...since I've been asking for specific crits, here's a couple of things that hit me: The white shape on the right doesn't seem to belong to anything (and therefore distracts my attention...? As an architect, the lack of modelled delineation of the material break between brick and stucco on the lower left flattens that wall for me...the brick should project a couple inches? The image as a whole seems cropped too close to me...a bit more environment around the building might serve the subject better?

              Well done fixes on the latter images BTW. Again, good job!

                You're right, the white shape (which actually should be a home) on the right side of the building looks a bit odd.
                I'll try to fix that in Photoshop as I don't have enough time to re-render. ๐Ÿ˜

                Hmm I think I get what you mean, I might accentuate the line between the brick and stucco some more in Photoshop, but
                how do you mean exactly with "the brick should project a couple inches?" , the brick and stucco are at same level so there should
                be no 'extruded stucco block'.

                You're right, the only thing why I didn't do this is due time, the block is between 2 other homes, so I had to keep the image
                tight to not have the need to model all the surroundings.

                Thanks a lot Tom, a shame I don't have time to re-render it, but I'll keep in mind your tips
                for any future projects, thanks a lot (again).

                Cheers,

                    It took about 10 hours, it should be finished by wednesday, but I only have this night free to render the backside of the building and tomorrow evening to photoshop it.

                      nice renders... 10 hours to render a single picture or render them all? What render app do you use and what size is the original picture? 10 hours seems a bit long to me.

                        Well the last render took 10 hours to render in Kerkythea in MLT (Multi Light Transport -> Unbiased) at a resolution of 1920x1080 (Full HD)
                        The thing actually is with the preset the longer you let it render the better it gets, so if I wanted to I was able to stop the render after 1 hour
                        but the image would've been very grainy and darker then.

                        Cheers,

                            Sure I don't, but what do you exactly want me to send? The SketchUp file only (as I've seen you making lots of Vue renders
                            for others), or the Kerkythea file + material folder?

                            (If there's anything I could do for you, feel free to contact ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

                            Cheers and many thanks, I really appreciate this,

                              Send the SU file with all mapped textures, make it SU6, and if there is anything else you need or need me to keep to let me know.
                              I will probably use Vue or Vray4Max, unless you insist on KT.

                                That's a great gesture Pete and especially in the current climate where time is money. Helping out someone with time constraints and processing power issues who has shared their project with the community to judge is extremely giving.

                                  Wow Pete, awesome I'm really stunned, the file's uploading right now it's just not over 50 megs, so it's taking a while
                                  but I'll send a PM once finished, just use the engine you like the most, I don't really care, I know your works are stunning!
