villa wip

[dominiquelaksmana]

guys,
pls take a look at this,
somewhat somehow it looks odd, fake, any suggestion?
thanks

[RErender]

I think the biggest problem is that there is no variation, the grass is all one color, the walls, the roof and so on.

[dominiquelaksmana]

hmmm let me work on that.
thanks

[Clifton Santiago]

Yes, and it looks too bright and too low contrast. Maybe dim your environment light source so there is more difference between sunny and shaded areas.

It might be helpful to look at some outdoor architectural photography to get the brightness and contrast right. And maybe blur out the foregroudn and plants a bit... like some fake DOF.

ok thanks guys, this is another villa,
i did it somehow with all the suggestion.



thanks

[marcoos]

thats an improvement, though i think the grass could be more realistic, it looks a bit like astro turf at the moment.

nice model.

[s0real]

what are your settings for sun lightsource and environment?
(intensity, type, colour...)

[dominiquelaksmana]

Soreal,
thanks for reply, this is the parameters you asked:




marcoos : i'll tweak the grass. thanks

[dominiquelaksmana]

how about now

[s0real]

the grass looks much better now i think.

you could probably get away with reducing your irmap and lightcache settings a bit to reduce rendertimes without losing too much in the way of quality...

try -4, -2 with 25 HSph subdivs on irmap and a lightcache of 1000

[dominiquelaksmana]

thank you soreal, i will try that

[shelsby]

thank you soreal, i will try that

hi dominiquelaksmana,

maybe try this map on your roof tiles to break up the colour



it gave me this effect on a spanish tile roof I did recently



Good luck - the image is getting there!

Regards

i used max's tile map to do the same thing. i like it because its procedurally done so breaks up tileing

[cecil gittens]

shelsby, did you model the tiles?and if so how did it affect ypur render times?

[shelsby]

yes the tiles were modelled, but stripped right back in terms of polygons. that particular render took about 8 mins

Cheers

Steve
