Residential Exterior

What I find kind of strange is that the light on the right of the building looks much dimmer than on the left of the building. Additionally the plant in front of the building looks overly saturated, while the tree leaves could use a bit more color. That being said, they look an awful lot better than the first you posted

Wow - its been a long time and this thread resurfaced - some things you're afraid to look back at. I've made alot of improvement in methods since thse first 'arch' images. That being said...

Can I request the material settings please

Sure. Very simple but I would do it alot differently now. Falloff Fresnel in Reflect slot. .98 ref glossiness.

he used displacement. the one from the grass sheep thread

Pretty much yeah. I usually do a couple things differently such as mix up the maps/colors a little but I don't stray too far from Metroberlin's experiments. It works well and it works fast.

I also steer away from LC, just stick to QMC and IR.

Good QMC/LC works great for all intents and purposes IMO.

Yeah there's a light plane hitting it from an angle. Good eye.
