Whale House

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. 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.

Thanks, it was a good bit of fun. Also, hello d12 it's been a while since we've spoke 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

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

olishea

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.

Looking forward to future 'playing'.

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!
