This is the result from my prior work. I have spent more time on it. Lots of fine tuning

Great stuff, was this an actual project put into construction?

Thanks Mill3rLuke, not a real project, I am just working on my folio. The design and model was mine. The renovated terrace house came from studying many period terrace houses and kind of smashing them together using the best atributes of all of them.
The new building is my design based opon a stone structural monolith feature also being an elevator shaft. The rest of that building was minimal clean lines not to detract from that feature

That's a great result. Especially the lighting. That's a tough space to get lighting resolved.

This is TM path tracing?

Actually the more I look the more detail you pick up on. The original house façade detail is great.

I pity the window cleaner. That's alot of glass!

Cheers Rich, the lighting was very tough an I spent more than 11 hours to get that resolved. The glass has a hydrophilic coating, so self cleaning. But even if it was normal glass I am sure the owners could get it cleaned weekly as they have Van goughs "stary night" a Turner and Picasso on the walls As for the period building yes I spent many hours on the geometry of those details I did not care how long it took to generate as long as it worked and kooked authentic.

Thanks Bryan And Rich sorry I did not answer your question. PT on, 30 max bounces, and 500 samples per pixel. I would like to have used decals as it is an old charactor street but I wanted the acuracy of PT so I used materials with charactor and some components from sketchfab.

A great result, it has something not easily added, atmosphere and a sense of being 'right'. I love it mate.

Thats cool, so are you an architect? How do you find motivation to work on stuff which isnt an actually project? I have tried to stuff like this before but I tend to feel like im wasting my time. I seem to be only able to channel my motivation once I have a needed project to get my teeth into.

Thanks Mill3rLuke, I am not a architect. I do have a BA degree majoring in industrial design, it did include fine art, furniture design and components of architecture. I just like "giving birth" to what is giong on in my head through 3D art. I dont really understand you not being very interested in doing project that are not real at all I consider it real when I can realise an idea in my head and have fun with it, like an artist of old would put oil on canvas, it is a passion. I think if you have a look at 3d artists work, say on CGarchitect site about 90% are not "real projects" just a way of creating "Art" for arts sake, money for gods sake"

I've had the same problem. PM doesn't get sent right away. Don't know why.
