Is that a model?

Yeah, it seems. If it were only the house itself, I could not tell. Beautiful!

A really nice piece of work, well done.

My only slight criticisms, knowing the building itself quite well, are that it is all a bit too neat.
The stone, bricks and roof are much more irregular in real life.

Also, I think I spotted an error, you have the window open but the reflection continues in what should be an open space.

But still an outstanding image.

@ Gaieus, Thank you. I did a quick change for you
@ Box, Thank you. I agree with it being too new, I could have altered the stones but then you have mapping problems. I forgot to alter the window!

An interesting project John. Will you be doing an interior? I would really like to see Captain Cook's quarters

[Bryan K]

Well done!

Awesome render, I think the brick and stone materials turned out great(even if they are exactly like the original). Which rendering program did you use? I think the update has a much better background. My only crit is the vines, they are well done but could be improved a little more. There are just a few edges that give it away as a photoshop job. Cool project.

[tadema]

Thanks all.
@Mike Lucey, I've never done an interior scene, so... I better leave it to the experts.
@Bryan K, thanks again.
@jsleasy, Agree it could be improved but as always where do we stop and say its finished.

No wonder he went exploring in the South Seas. Who would want to be cramped in such a small space.

Excellent render.

Tadema amazing model and render. Its stunning wotk !!! May I ask which render machine do you use ??? One more time. Wonderful !!!

[tadema]

@ Roger, Thank you, we are spoilt these days.
@ FilipAGuy, Thank you, I'm using V-ray. I'm new to it as I've been using Podium, it takes a bit more learning but really the results are very similar.

I agree, you got to stop at some point, though did you purposely spell my name wrong or is it just a humorous mistake? Either way it did make me laugh. Did you model the roof tile or is that a displacement texture or photoshop, it looks great no matter which way you did it.

[tadema]

Hello jsteacy, sorry about spelling your name wrong, it was unintentional. I modelled the roof tiles, I think they always look better and they don't take long. Thanks for the comments, John.
