SU + Vue

[Daniel]

A rendering I did for a friend, of a building he's renovating.

Daniel:

Just for fun, have you considered adding some "reality" details such as leaves in the gutters, newspaper boxes at the curb, a fire hydrant, streetlights, trash receptacle, pigeons, and other such touches that will add some context and life?

It seems to me that photorealistic renderings so often portray buildings as objects, but don't really represent actual reality, which is often a little messy.

I know you did this rendering as a favor for a friend, and may not have time to work on it further.

That is nice Daniel.
The first thing I thought of was a model railroad scene. That or one of my daughter's I Spy scenes.

Thanks for the comments. The cars, btw, are from FormFonts; the people from Poser.

Ray, it always helps to get a fresh set of eyes looking at things, thanx. I agree, it does seem somewhat sterile. However, most clients don't want to see "messy reality" (sadly, where this building is that would include the homeless). In fact, we "removed" a rather ugly utility pole in front of the building. One thing that would help are the road textures (too clean), but haven't been able to master mixed materials in Vue yet. Maybe a few more people?
