olishea

Looks good Oli for WIP...I thought it was Podium

olishea

its a joint venture

dermotcoll

Very nice - the corbels arent getting any better with the brick render!!!

olishea

I was nearly in tears when I started drawing them into the elevations

but what client wants client gets

stefanq

Looks fine, and if the client is happy....Why don't you modify this project into a "killer" , only if it is for your own pleasure?

olishea

hmmmm....

olishea

thnaks a lot james. I haven't drawn everything to (exact) brick dims yet...its almost there but not quite. theres been about 10 revisions! also the texture isn't stretched to standard brick dims eitehr its like 3 mm out at the moment. I know some of the fenestration is unsettling to this elevation in size and relative orientation but I can't do anything about it....its really frustrating-this could be an absolute killer of a house. but then again the client is blown away and loves it! you can't win either way!

Richard

Yeah man! Doing those high box features out of brick just seems heavy and depressing - Oli I can feel your pain! I must say in situations like that I just tell the clients "NO I'm not doing it, whether you like it or not, just no!".

Mate you have a funny halo around the background trees (like bloom ) and that brick map just looks a bit plastic not sure why!

The grass looks great!!!

Well done Oli!!

Hi people here is another angle:

sepo

This second image looks a bit dark. You have lost definition on the left side of the building.

Frederik

The shadows on the tree line in the background doesn't match the sun position in the render...
The ground material seem too flat...

I'm sure that a mixture between NPR and the render will compliment this scene much better...

olishea

well this is north elevation. this whole side would be in shadow but I kinda faked it so some of it was in sunlight. maybe I shoulda done it with sun off for more overcast appearance. I cant do a NPR render because its in a set of two other (more) realistic renders. cheers for comments they help me improve!!

Richard

Yeah mate what is happening in the shadows there?? Could be someone hiding!

olishea

Here is the final of the three images:

I couldn't spend longer than a couple of hours on it I'm afraid so please excuse the mistakes here and there!!

I think the images look great as a trio on a drawing sheet, in isolation they are not so spectacular. Remember these are just for planners to get an idea of the building form. I think I went a bit OTT, again!
