Lastest work (Thea4Su 13 May)

holmes1977 · 28 Apr 2011, 09:26

Its been ages since I posted anything.
Here are a few projects Ive been involved in over the last year.
I take all designs through to working drawing stage.
These are the only clients who wanted to pay for renders for advertising.
All were done in SU8 Vray PS

This was an alteration. They wanted to get rid of a porch and extend the living area out.
Which flowed out to a minimal landscape design. Fun project.

Just an interior a client wanted. I went abit overboard on the chairs. I just wanted to
play with refraction.

This is the latest job. 6 appartments. Very tight time line and as always budget. I would like to go back and add to this when I get some free time.

As always would love to get any Crits on these images.

I'll add more projects soon.

These are great images and I would have to be critical to find fault but there are a few things (minor) that I see:

First image
The furniture wood looks flat and without any shine
The flip flops dont look grounded

Second Image
Can't find anything wrong

Third Image
At first glance the clear chairs throw me off for some reason.
I would change the angle of the shot just a bit to get more seperation between the island and the back counter. currently they look to blend a bit.
The lemons are blown out a bit
The placement of the cooktop seems odd to me (under cabinets?)

Last image
The BMW....The side skirting is way to low and is incorrect. The paint almost come off as chrome or aluminum. I would not add to bright of a color but some color would look better.
The flare on the street light looks forced.

Again, great images!

Thanks

Nice work.

Great work. Love 'em all! The exteriors are exceptional. Is the roof and siding displaced or modeled? My only critique would be adding more in the way of plants and landscape as it's a bit boring. Love the deck material and the details down to the screws.

Thanks so much for your time.

The kitchen has been built as Ive designed it. The cupboards over the bench are alittle higher. The cupboard over the
stove top is actually mock. There is an extactor fan there. As for the chairs, I agree totally over the top. But like I said was playing with refraction.

Thanks so much for your other comments. At some point I would like to go back and clean them up. Addressing the crits you have pointed out.

hi David

My settings are actually standard for the first two images. I just
popped up the hSph Subdiv's to 80 in the Irradiance Map options.

For the last image I used an HDRI.

Thanks, glad you like them. The Roofing and Sliding are all modeled. Ive just had better results using modeled cladding than displacement. Your totally right about the planting. I have had mixed results on using clipmaps. The model was getting pretty heavy using models. I really need to improve my PS skills.
The Landscaping architect took over after me. Im sure he was alot more creative than I was.

My settings are standard. In the Environment tab, I used an HDRI image in the GI and reflection slot.
I left the Backgound slot empty. So that in PS i could include the HDRI backgound and have more control of
it.

Design wise Im not so proud of this one. The client watched far to much TV home improvement shows and thought she was a designer.
Oh well some jobs are bread and butter. As always crits welcome.
