Summer Set House

[glorybound]

Another quick house exteriors. I can do one of these a day. They have become my bread and butter.

Out of curiosity, do you model the siding or is it displacement. It kind of looks like the picket fence is facing backwards?

[glorybound]

The siding is displacement. Yes, the fence is backward, thanks! I missed that.

[MANUEL_MOUSIOL]

Do you work with your own presets to speed things up? Like ready setup railclone and forest pack objects?

[glorybound]

Actually, the fence wasn't backward. It's a Railclone fence and it's the same on both sides. I usually use Railclone and Forest PAck Pro presets and most of the time, I do the same color grading in Post Production, with little variances.

very nice rendering, mind to share your render time and render size? Do you use brute force + light cache for this render?

[glorybound]

Thank you! Yes, BF and LC and all defaults. It took about 30 minutes to render at 4K.

[jackieteh]

Thank you! Yes, BF and LC and all defaults. It took about 30 minutes to render at 4K.

It's fast, mind to share your setting?

[glorybound]

Just the defaults.

[francomanko]

30mins fast as Great render but the scale of the car looks a little off to me, if i was being picky

The second view requested

Very much un-keen about those oddly coloured pathway and porch pavers - but the customer is always, um......wrong unless they can demonstrably prove otherwise
That aside, if you don't mind me saying, it looks a little like there is no back to the house, as we can see trees through all of the windows. Unless it's an illusion caused by reflection of course.

[glorybound]

Yes, he picked the brick. No, there is a back, full of windows.

[piotrus3333]

how about something in the windows - curtains/sheers/blinds? always so dark, even disturbing a bit. would lighten up your houses for sure.

[JezUK]

Always like your work Bobby, I particularly like the subtle DoF in this one.

Care to share which particular HDRI you use ?

And as an illustrator, can you say more about your approach regarding the lovely shadows you see across your image ? Here in the UK, our bread and butter type properties certainly don't sit in such open grounds, and it'd be fakery (in the UK) to have such lovely shadows as yours cutting across lawns and on the facade of the house, there simply aren't nice big trees close enough to make that happen.

What tips could you give in those circumstances ? (I don't do many houses, but this is the situation in the UK and it trips me up often).

Thanks.
