      Quite good images. The sky backgrounds seem to be a bit inconsistent with the illumination (setting sun vs. sunrise, and cloudy or impending thunderstorm vs. bright sunlight).

              These look really good, in my opinion. The only thing I would change is the sky in the second and third images - they look great as they are, but I think a more sunnier atmosphere would make them look more inviting.

                Great work!! My only comment would be to change the seating in the second image, as they look quite busy and distract from the rest of the composition. They're comming along nicely though.

                  Great images.Well done Ambotnimo.
                  But there is something about Vray that I dont like.
                  I know many are not going to agree with me but the
                  colours are a bit flat ,unreal. I dont mean on these
                  images but it is a consistent thing with Vray.

                    Pretty nice, good detail and warm color scheme. I did notice that in the 3rd one the woman on the right looks like she's striding headlong into the pool.

                      I like the renders, if I was to make changes I'd remove the 2d photo people as the sky and people to me seem to conflict.

                      The water could use a bumpmap or if it does maybe increasing the bump value and texture size to give it more relief and obscure the reflections a little more.

                      The grass seems to be tiling a bit, possibly exchange it for a more procedural one.

                      Otherwise these are great renders and a good model.

                        I agree with many of the comments above, good quality renders, but it sure looks like there's a storm-a-coming. πŸ˜• Sunnier background maps and adjusting the lighting would make sell the scene better, but perhaps just using PS to play around with levels, gamma, saturation and hue in these images would help.

                            If that's practice then it's extremely impressive, the detail, the modelling and the overall consistency of the render (which is often the hardest part to achieve) is good, but (as I've done myself) it looks like you made so much effort to get the lighting to match the sky that you didn't notice that the sky map wasn't so great to start with! Did you use a spherical texture or is it just a background?

                            I hope you don't mind, I did little messing in PS with Gamma correction, "replace colour" for the slightly green sky and just painted (very poorly haha) white over the grey clouds- as soon as the image looks a bit sunnier I think it really shows how good the "basic" model and render are.

                                Really? How did you get the sunlight to come through it, did you make it 100% transparent on the backside? I didn't know you could do that in Vray.

                                A simple, but effective method would be to Google for some nice blue sky photographs and drop them into the alpha mask afterwards or my preferred method is to use 360Β° skymaps as a background in VRay so that no matter what angle you take your render from the sky will be perfectly aligned. CG Textures have an amazing collection of hemispherical sky photos, but I tend to use Vue to render out spherical skymaps as I can control exactly how much cloud I want, time of day, etc.

                                Hope this helps, I'm looking forward to seeing your stuff in the future.

                                  yah...im using CGtextures as well..so i can change my skies using dome sky..ive added a light inside the dome sky..and that would be my source of light..

                                  actually when i render, and even i unchecked the default light and hidden lights from vray option..SU sky will still exist, and i dont know how to turned it off..thats why i did used the dome sky to prevent light coming in..and put a NEW light inside the dome..

                                  hehe..
