House & Pond

[Gareth]

Modelled in SU, rendered in Twilight and a little bit of post pro in Gimp

......and the plants are from Solo's wonderful plant collection....!!!

Nice scene!
maybe a bit overexposed, I believe because of gimp filter.
bye

Hi Tridem,

Yes it is a little overexposed....i have found that they print a little better as they tend to print darker on my printer.

Here it is again, darkened up just a little bit

Awesome scene, I actually like the over exposed look as it gives a feeling of a bright warm sunny day.

[Gareth]

hi Pete....it gets damn hot and sunny down here...!!

[Daniel]

Very nice, Gareth. I agree, the first one conveys a hot, tropical feeling, whereas the second one looks overcast.

Hi Gareth,

Great render, which setting did u use?

[fymoro]

wonderful image, congrats . The solo's plant are really good also (I have them already... )

[Gareth]

Hi Rich,

I used the Easy Preset Medium +

[tomsdesk]

Lovely image, Gareth! (I wonder if dialing up the shadow softness a bit might make them match the "over exposure" better?)

[Frederik]

I just mad some small tonemap adjustments using the free public Beta of Adobe Lightroom 3...
(Hope you don't mind...!?)

Hi Nacho,

I used easy preset 05 Medium +......

...the render time was 69 minutes on my laptop which is only a 1.86 dual core.......you would get much better times with something with a bit more 'grunt'...!! (Solo would probably render it before he had time to lean back in his chair...!!)

...there are quite a lot of reflective surfaces and the model is busier than it may appear, so i am quite happy with the speed of the render

...resolution was 1230 x 600
