Model by Eric Lay (Boofredlay) c/o Form Fonts.
When I saw this model I knew it was itching for a render, I changed a few things like the alpha based .png lattice texture, created physical geometry for railings etc that were only line, and added a few tiny details and textures as per photo's I found online.
I created the sign, as many young folk may not recognise the house.

Rendered with Vue, minimal post edit (Saturation levels)

Very cool! I bet you can do creepier feeling light from the windows, though...
-
a real beauty, pete!
-
Another stunner Pete. Thanks for sharing
-
Son, you make me proud!

Don't go to the bath

Now delete these signs, make this sky more simple, more abstract, give a lot more space to this marvelous grass, less trees maybe, keep light this way (what a light)...
Yes, you are too close to this great american painter "Andrew Wyeth"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina's_World. See all his work if haven't already.Boofredlay and solo.
This is a great image here. I even don't care about 3d modeling, renders... -
Hey Pete, would love to see a render with an alternative sign. The sign is done well but maybe does not fit the mood of the render. I would like to see a sign with the same back board, but chipped, black pant instead of the neon tubes.
Overall insane render, always excited to see your work!! -
Like Alfred Hitchcock said, "Good E-E-Evening".
-
The sign is pretty accurate to the original. Or at least, the official knock-offs of the original.

kinda reminds me of an edward hopper painting.
pete could you please do a b+w version of this with an old school grain overlay? I think it would look fantastic, like an old scary movie. I agree about losing the sign.
-
Hopper vs Wyeth. You're right oli. Two really great watercolor american masters.
-
Very great image...my only critique would be to straigten out the verticals. I think it will help make the house look a little more dramatic and dynamic.

Looks great, Pete, but where is the silhouette of Norman (as his mother) in the window?

I saw her there a min. ago...

you can actually see a slight outline of someone, maybe its my eyes. maybe its a murderer.

Interesting about the Hopper connection, I've wondered before if the hotel design was influenced by this Hopper painting - House by the Railroad (1925)

or is this a fairly standard USA style of house ?
-
Does any 3d render has to say anything more against this masterpiece? What a painting! What a render! We discovered America yesterday. But she was always there, waiting... Thanks cosycat for this, thanks pete and eric for this fine post. A challenge, my friends.
-
Yes, let's have a Hopper rendering challenge - Solo over to you
Some inspiration perhaps:-
NY movie, The Night, Evening. Light house at two lights, Queensborough Bridge and of course Nighthawks
