Here is a little building I am working on right now. Vary, AutoCAD, Photoshop, etc.....the works...... Comments are appreciated...

not bad at all. Of course the car is a weakpoint in the image, and the treeshadow needs to be squashed there in the far left so it incorporates better into the image.

Yeah nice image.
I also have to agree with Percy about the car and the tree shadow.
And also there seems to be an odd dark triangle on the right hand side of the roof.

THat is the main thing I was concerned about....You know sometimes just because I have a parking lot in my rendering....doesn't always mean I need a car... lol.... The dark spot on the roof is water staining the roof from the downspout...Just playing around with some techniques. I am having trouble with displacement...Can I use it on the roof.? I also can not get it to work on the brick.......I have the same image, but in alpha of course and I can not figure out the scale or whatever it is I am doing wrong?

Thanx for your comments,,

Also...On my glass..I am using a vray material and black in the diffuse...what else can I improve? what should my reflect/refract color be set to?

Its funny - I have that exact same car in my library and it is one of my bestter ones - it always seems to 'fit'. However, I have to agree that its just not the right lighting/type of car for this scene - it looks a little harsh. I have found I need very harsh lighting conditions for it to work better. Easiest solution - get rid!

I think your shadows on the plants could be better.

Another couple of things - I think the tiling on the roof could be better. I know it is a very difficult thing to get right.

Have you used any 'colour mapping' at all on this image? The reason I ask is because it looks a little 'flat' from a lighting/contrast point of view. Try upping the sun multiplier a bit to burn out some of the highlights. When you look at a good image, it should make you 'squint'.
