.three_cabins... WIP

marked001

alright, well one cabin at the moment..haha.. working on (3) small cabins for a developer... this one not designed by me, the other two are... the second is done..third in process.. anywho, this is my first pass at a rendering on the first... be gentle, i know the railing is ugly (again..not my design ) and its going to be lightened up signifcantly and turned into metal since there is so much wood... the grass is a little too tall..but i dont know, i kind of like it? need to add some rocks in there.. but definitely need some comments and criticism and help since i actually have time for it on this one (i think)... thanks in advance

here's the first image.. didnt run too long (maxwell)

That looks great, Jason. 3 comments, for what they are worth:

The person doesn't match the rest of the rendering, style-wise.
Some of the wood members blend together. You might want to give some more variation to their textures so the individual pieces pop out more.
(this one is picky) you wouldn't have that grass growing so far under the cabin, where there's no sunlight and little water.

The grass looks really 'Van Gogh'

Looks really good. I like the light.

much better looking background, i think..

Daniel

Looking better Jason. One trick I've used is to lighten/darken the same texture image to get some variation. Cabin looks better without the blue siding, too, I think.

Daniel

Your animation/rendering is looking awsome. What program(s) are you using?

CADken

wicked cool! the first one reminds me of a house boat for some reason... anyway, these are looking good!

Anssi

Good renders. And the design no longer makes me want to add gasoline pumps on the deck

Jason! I love this one! What character it has!

Gaieus

I like this even better than the previous! It has some kind of "fairy tale" or "cartoon" feeling...

that is kind of what we were going for..some kind of funky traditional.. the rear is all glass so it gets a little more modern... client is not liking the materials though.. so we'll see how it changes..

Nice work Jason.

One suggestion about the green roof option would be to change the texture from grass to Sedum planting else your client may be posed with the awkward question "How do I get a mower on the roof to cut the lawn?"

The last one is completely different in style. To me, it looks like a shaker-style house mixed in with modern kal-zip roof. The dark timber material looks really nice.

Any plans on doing a render with all 3 side-by-side?

Its a great start and I look forward to see it progress.

haha...yeah, i do need to think about the green roof...at the very least, i'm going to make that 'grass' a little more random...but it looks so nice and ordered that way

i hadnt thought of doing all three together..that is a great idea..

Jason,

It's kinda funny because I'm a fan of modern architecture, but the third model immediately makes an emotional connection which the first two didn't. Go figure.

I too am disarmed... It has some dreamlike, surreal quality

hey..thanks everyone...defintiely the reaction we were going for! really trying to figure out the materials... want to have a few different materials.... the back is supposed to be all glass and very modern looking...so need to look into what else to use.. any suggestions are greatly appreciated... i like the horizontal wood rain screen..might try it vertically though to give it a little more height...

marked001

thanks daniel... i took the guy out (as well as the background for the time being)... i have such a hard time with wood textures so hard to find good ones.. here is a 'night' version.... b/c the day version had dark wood siding and looked like crap..so i just used multilight real quick and changed it i've just got two big invisible emitter planes in there to get some light on the interior....

running another in a few minutes with a few updates to materials...

marked001

ok..added a couple little details and adjusted some materials..i think its looking better? going to go back and see if i can improve the background environment next..

marked001

thank you modelhead! i will keep that in mind, for sure..

here is a little update.. going to run a closeup view tonight..
