bubbalove

I haven't placed materials yet as you can see... I will do this once we figure out what we want to do! The design is still a work in progress as well so if anyone has any comments or suggestions... shooot!

Nice one David!!

I especially like the toon tones (flat) render with the exported and overlaid line work.

bubbalove

Thanks Pete! Hope to show you more in the coming days...

try a shot with 2D perspective on. They building looks like it's falling over

bubba, I especially like the repetitive character of your fassade. gives it a very homogeneous look.

looking forward to see your next image with the building placed in it's context...

bubbalove

Here is another... no textures just yet! Only color... any input would be helpful! It's a little noisy since this isn't the final version...

Oh... how do I make the image fit the forum?

Hi
i'm not really experienced in rendering stuff, so i apologize for my noob questions...
Which rendering program have you used? I think i should use it too cause i haven't changed my laptop yet and i think it would explode trying some indigo like renderings
Thanks

bubbalove

Oh... I should've mentioned that! It is Kerkythea!

Daniel

Looking good, but I'm surprised you didn't incorporate a Batman component.

bubbalove

Haha, I might have to do a separate rendering for fun with a Gotham City feel to it... might see if I can find or model the bat cycle or the tumbler!

bubbalove

Haha... I see what you're saying! I'm going to be doing the building right next to it tomorrow which should help. Maybe then it won't look like it is falling over...

i dont know...looks pretty great to me, david... night renders can be tough! really like the super subtle overlay..

boofredlay

Man, that is really good.

Daniel

Looks really good, David.

Frederik

Like everyone else have said, it looks really good...
Indeed night renders are tough..!!

To improve these, You could change some of the outdoor spot-lights to IES-lights, which I'm sure will add some more realism to the renders...
Please let me know if you need help/advice with this...

Nice building David.
I hope to design something like that some day!

bubbalove

All right Frederik... I do need some help! Do you convert mesh to IES lights or do you use the pointlight or spotlights for them! I have the material pack with the IES lights but I wasn't exactly sure how to use them! I'm sure you could lead me in the right direction... Thanks man!

Spot-lights...

My pleasure, David...

The easiest way - perhaps - will be to follow the steps in the Converting spot to IES lights thread at the KT Forum...

The steps may sound a little tricky, but once you've converted a couple, I'm sure you'll agree that it's not that complicated...
(But we are looking for an improvement/easier way to do this... )

If you get stuck, just send me a PM and I will be happy to help you further...

plot-paris

only just found the TDK image. nice one - I think I like the overall mood of this image more

oh yes, IES lighting... tried it once with indigo. looks great. but was too lazy to investigate further.

but I am looking forward to see your new night-render with IES

bubbalove

Thanks guys... I will be doing this rendering for a board... so I will make an attempt to do these IES lights! I also have to do some interior shots so I would think that these would help a lot! Stay tuned...
