      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?

          My avatar is an anachronism.

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

                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

                        Nighthawks is amazing. I've studied his work inside out.

                        Hopper- the master of suspense, the hitchcock of painting.

                          Thought I might set my students a Hopper challenge when we return after the holidays. This is a very quick test piece to show them idea - 4 min low render with Twightlight

                          Trying to capture that sort of 'image glimpsed' quality that some of his painting have

                              Hey cosycat, begin a new thread about all this fantastic idea about Hopper. Your work here is excellent too.
                              Oli I'm afraid that Hitchcock is the Hopper of cinema. Most of film noir actually.

                              Now, don't you think that SU has something to do with this? This effortless way of doing interiors or exteriors with some cut out people. SU's power IMO.

                                Not quite Hopper but painted nevertheless.

                                    That's it, excellent work pete, but I don't like this smart blur thing. Better be a friend than an enemy. lol But I really don't find this last one render friendly. What's happening in this house anyway?
