You have a very beautiful home

Eh, I would really like a home like that.
The big problem would be that I would not know where to put the tons of books and records I have.

You're messing with us, right? Those are really photos of an actual building, aren't they?

[massimo]

Thank you Daniel.

Simply stunning by the way.

[massimo]

Well done, you found it!

Wow, I thought these were pictures. Amazing, some of the best photo-realistic renders I have seen in this forum.

Best glass rendering, too.

How did you do the rain drops on the glass roof, Massimo, if you don't mind my asking?

Cheers!

Thanks for the kind words Ken.
The glass panels have 8 mm of thickness, are beveled and have a thin glass material applied on them with a very light bump (an enlarged perlin noise procedural) and a slight green-blue tint in the reflection's slot.
For the rain drops I textured in SU only the outer faces of the panels of the roofs with a black & white map of the drops and then I've just applied it as a bump map in Thea in the glass material.

Great, thanks for the explanation, Massimo.

Massimo! Wow mate, that is probably one of the if not THE most difficult looking scenes to render I've ever seen! AND you NAILED IT!!!!!!

INCREDIBLE WORK!!!!!!

[chedda]

Thank you Lee.

How did i miss this, I love the final two images. They are simply stunning! Truly photographic!

[massimo]

Thanks Oli.
I remember a very nice set of renders you made on a similar subject long time ago.

[jeff hammond]

honestly, i think this may be the first time i've been 'fooled' into thinking these were photographs instead of renders.

Ah yes, nowhere near as photographic as yours though!

[massimo]

@Jeff Well those sound like too kind words. Thank you.
@Oli I don't agree with you.
