Mixed Use Building

Thanks for the comments guys, the orange lighting is a hdr on a plane behind the glass.

great visuals buddy!!
I love in special the first one, interesting and clever technique using an HDR to light up the interior, I wonder how you did it, did you use only one plane or several planes??? and what kind of glass material did u use??
cheers

I actually made lots of smaller planes by intersecting the big plane with the building.I didn't want light intersecting solids or inside them. I just used a simple AGS for the glass.Thanks for the comment Victor.

Simon your glass shader looks great especially on the rounded corner (second image), thanks for sharing
cheers

very nice renderings! if i would have to give some critics i would say that especially in the second image it is disturbing that the verticals are not straight. looks a bit like the left building is 'falling' to the side. also in the second image the lawn is too perfect for me, even for a new made lawn structure. maybe increasing the length variation percentage might help.

Carloh thanks for the comment. Your right the grass needs more work, i actually simplified it right down to improve the render time. Straight verticals i can live without sometimes they make it look un natural imho. Especially in this middle area i think some perspective gives it dynamics.

Hey Chedda, Nice work mate! I'd reckon though some lighting inside is wanted on the 2nd and 3rd image or are they taken Sunday afternoon or public holiday?

I'd have to fix the verticals, cant help it - they are too close to vert. If a client shot me them to go into a print or sign the first thing I'd do is fix that with free-transform! You have to remember that you always run the risk with that!

Have you tried a shift lens? I'm not a big lover but it can help in small doses!!

Thanks for the comments Richard, i have used shift lens along with 2 point perspective. However i don't always stick to straight verticals as a fixed rule.
