      Which of the images do you like best? The one that the glass windows are plain colour or the one that you can see

        I prefer the one you can see through but the glass in most modern office buildings doesn't usually let you see through the building so perhaps non-transparent one is more accurate? Nice images BTW.

            Not sure what render preset you've used in Twilight...? πŸ˜•
            They seem to lack AA...

            Regarding the glass, you could also download and install the Dark Mirror glasses material library... πŸ˜‰

            In general I recommend that you work more with all the materials... You should try and change the glass materials on all the cars... I'm sure you quickly will notice that it's the details that will make a render stunning... πŸ˜‰

            Cheers

                As is I'd have to go with the transparent one because it's got more depth. As was mentioned the second one is more accurate in that you wouldn't really be able to see through the glass so much from the outside, however the glass either isn't reflective or it doesn't have anything to reflect making it look pretty dull. If you were still going to put some time into it I'd give the 2nd one some more love and head that route. If you really want to get crazy you could make it just a little bit transparent, just enough to see window shades or desks that are very close to the windows.

                I'd also recommend moving the sun over to the right a good amount. Right now the sun appears to be directly overhead which isn't helping your shadow situation much. Shift it over and you'll get a nice shaded area on the left there as well as some shadow in the middle where it's recessed. That will give you some more contrast and liven it up a bit.

                The model itself looks nice and clean, good job!

                  That big pole in the foreground is less than ideal as well. If you've got a bit of artistic license with this one I'd take it out.

                    Can't you make the glass reflect a little of the exterior scene? I think that is "real as well as ideal".

                      Thank you all for your comments on the model and the renders.
                      I did'nt know that the place of the sun makes the model look better, but now that i know it, i
                      think it'll help me a lot. Thanks for all the advices!
