I really did not mean to cause such a big problem with my comment!
lol it wasn't a problem. sometimes you need someone else to look at your work before you notice something is odd. so cheers
@unknownuser said:
but, don't worry, the concrete is really veeeerrrryyyy dirty and raw...
fantastic!! I posted the textures over at the twilight forum if anyone wants them.

minimalist!

Thanks for the maps and I agree with you: in this particular image the walking man seems to add something necessary to the scene.
-
Pretty cool render & nice post-pro.
I was thinking about render time whenever I see your post. (Reminds me of those long caustics hrs actually..esp with massimo around.)
Have you tried those stuffs in Thea? Just curious?
-
Great renders, Oli...!!

sorry frederik, i changed the lighting in the model a bit. I like emitters!
No need to apologize...!
You are free to do whatever you want with this model... -
Oli,
i think the dude looks perfect in the render.
Usually i don't like people in the render, but if someone does it perfectly like you,
then it's nice to look at it and it enhances the picture... -

personally I do not care much for people in an archvis scene, I think they distract from the scene, I have noticed many artists use fast people (blurry motion)..no offense but I do not like it.
As a young architect, (in love with my work ha!, ha!) I drew most of my renderings without people. But in time I realized that unless my render has an way of communicating scale, the image would be lost on the client. Lots of people still have problems looking a perspective renderings and relating it to the actual product:-)
As nice as the render is, I would sometimes get a comment like "the concrete looks old", etc. Sigh. Btw Oli, I have that same face me people, but often have difficulty finding a place in my images for them. Of the attached I like the fellow with the book, but he's a little too old for most of my clients. Got to find better sources, with front views
-
Hey Oli, It's awesome!! Very clear render, and the lighting is just perfect...
Bravo... -
thanks guys! comments always welcome! im glad you like the lighting Fred, very simple really.
I added an early morning shot to the original post, just different post process really.
-
Great images, Oli!
Regarding people, as another person mentioned, clients need them. Really... in fact, if they don't see people no matter how good the render most of my clients say "where are the people!? fill it up with people!!!"I think the motion blur is very appropriate considering the exposure time on the cam needed for this shot.
Wish there were a ladder, bucket, and some tools on the floor inside that made it look like he just bought the place and is coming to inspect the work progress before they come in the morning.
-
Thanks Gaieus, very kind of you!!
@unknownuser said:
am not very fond of these "hazed" (moving) people however but that may be a personal taste
yes its personal. I tried greyscale, colour and transparent but a moving figure suited this image better. I have found that 90% of architectural photos with people have emphasized motion blur. seems to add more life maybe, a kinaesthetic.
i added the SU view too....
and a version without the man (just for you gai!)
@unknownuser said:
Nice work Oli.
Thanks Eric, I think it's one of my better ones.
-
very interesting images...U did a very good job at making a fairly bare scene come to life. Congrats at accomplishing a lively scene without having to clutter it with accessories to bring it to life. The background you used is also very nice. Good work bud.
-
Cheers mateys!

I have shared the background here if you like it. It is number 4 of 6:

Man I've heard that one before!

i kinda dig the SU textures too.

I know Thea is amazing, but I do not need it. Twilight is more than enough for me. I would rather totally perfect my twi skills before moving onto anything else. [edit] i also prefer a totally integrated rendering solution. Twi's power lies in the ability to render hidden layers, so its possible to render massive models without slowing down sketchup.
I used unbiased interior + preset (as its a dark scene) and let it cook overnight. But a coupe of hours would have been enough (the resolution is around 2000 pixels wide, so its a quick render to be honest). There are about 10 omni lights for the interior and a several emitters (for the downlights and little LED ones),
sorry frederik, i changed the lighting in the model a bit. I like emitters!
24 inch, dual core imac, 2.8ghz, 4gb ram. Rendered via windows 7 via vmwarefusion. needless to say im waiting for the mac version
i would also kill for quad core
-
Hi Oli. I really like the early morning version. Maybe I'm not up to speed but what is the Regas Challenge?
As for people motion blurr etc, have you seen Iain Denby's work. He put's that to great effect and I think it adds a huge amount to an image. Especially exteriors. For me Architecture is as much about the use as the form. I'd have a party in full swing inside and this guy is a late arrival.
Really good work Oli. -

Is there going to be a Mac version of Twi and if so are they going to do the same awesome licensing thing as Thea (one license fits all supported OS)? I'd give my firstborn for a quad core (although he's married and has kids)

haha xrok...i was actually tempted to overlay the SU view over the render but decided against it last minute...but yeah you share my vision
@unknownuser said:

YES. JUST DON'T ASK WHEN HAHA
@unknownuser said:

YES. thats why I bought the windows version at the introductory price.....so I could transfer the license to the mac version when it comes out
. It's a beautiful program and so easy to use.@unknownuser said:

nice, serious dedication there!
Landie....its a friendly non-competitive challenge. Frederik has kindly reposted the link back to the Twilight forum where you can download the model and play!
cheers for all the comments. thanks for stopping by

funny thing is we share the vision but exactly opposite. i overlayed the render, then punched holes in it.
