      Nice work ๐Ÿ‘

      For me the perspective is difficult to figure out. It's like it's huge in front and tiny in the rear, and it doesn't look like it's from the camera lens or whatever, it looks like it's really built that way. (Hope you know what I mean, I can't express myself very well)

        yeah thats why I called it the whale house! big head, little tail! We used to laugh at work and call this shape a whale, I find it quite satisfying! I've emphasized it I imagine. ๐Ÿ˜†

          I don't know. To be honest I've seen enough fisheye with my camera I feel like a fish!! I suppose you could make a spherical projection and then take at fisheye from that. But yes like shiftn, or free transform in photoshop.

                  Really nice design and the modelling/renders are nothing to be sniffed at for a few hours work.

                  I personally like that extreme transition and can imagine it creating an interesting flow as you move from the rear to the front of the house. It's not mutch different to a single storey home where you have a cluster of small bedrooms and bathrooms that then open up to larger open plan spaces, except here (presuming there is a mezzanine) you have the added dimension of height to enhance the effect and create more drama.

                    Nice design and render, Oliver. You might want to adjust your shadows - the step up in the stone paving around the glass walls doesn't read too well. How/what would that roof be constructed (to get such a thin profile)?

                        The roof can be done easily, remember the extended part is not insulating, the roof area that covers the house is much thicker. Look at some tom kundig houses, he is a sucker for soffit too. ๐Ÿ˜† YEah I realized front step was too subtle after rendering, I think material is a bit flat, sorting it out now cheers.

                        Check out these built houses in manchester, the roof appears to be very thin, yet it's actually thick where it needs to be.

                          To olishea:
                          Nice work. Intriguing.

                          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                            Thanks, it was a good bit of fun. Also, hello d12 it's been a while since we've spoke ๐Ÿ‘ TIG that's a beauty! I don't know why they appeal to me!

                            few more kundigs, really beautiful:

                                I need to look at some more of Kundigs work ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

                                The latest building render looks a lot better, but the context doesn't work for me. I would populate the surrounding landscaping with high quality trees and use a backplate for the background.

                                Great stuff though

                                  cheers, its just a different scene, there are quite a few to choose from! Ordinarily I'd use lots of foreground/mid trees but I'm just playing with different landscapes and light.

                                      Nice. Hill crest too sharp though, a retouch in photoshop to soften will do the trick.
                                      Thanks for your comments on Rome. Trying to put toghether a short animation, will post it when done...

                                          Thanks and the Rome project looks fabulous. To be honest it's nice having a background that is VERY sharp! In my package there are both hdr (4000x2000) and jpeg (8000x4000) if you need a very crisp background. In thea and other render engines you can use the hdr to illuminate the scene and a different image as background if required.

                                          That's a cracker Pilou! ๐Ÿ‘
