      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)

                  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!!

                        The sign is pretty accurate to the original. Or at least, the official knock-offs of the original.

                          Though of course, the real one did not hang, but was on a post more like Solo's...

                            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?

                                  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.
