Exterior in Hamburg

[tom schuelke]

Hi this is for longer time the first Post i put in here. Before i only did several not so nice jobs for very uggly one family houses ... buaarrrgh ..


now this architecture was middle class but allready better.

I had 4 Days for this one. there are many smal details in you cant see in this smaler pictures but doesnt matter. whats the best i think is the overal light solution... thanks to vlado (which in my oppinion still could be aproaved, if the sky did hdri... ) but thats allready very sweet. glossys nearly every where... this makes very much of the materials i think.

now whats not that nice are the trees, the floor for peoples isnt enough detailled too, and the displacement grass.. well i allready did better. but its good enought for the aim.

well comments are allways welcome.

Nice work Tom, the lighting is spot on. I especially like the first image. I assume you have used the vray sky? Can't wait to get my hands on that new feature!

You´re right...

its a very beautiful new feature. still could be aproved in direction of high dynamic range... but very very usefull and fast and morever very flexible..

very nice one

pretty good one Tom, I can't wait to try this hehe, IMHO I think shadows are too smooth and not like a real sun shadows .
May be they could increase the sensation of a little model or a little scale lighting pbl(I speek about soft shadows).

Hi Jonnybefree,

thats a nice feature isnt it...

we just could turn around and look each other into the eyes and talk to each other obout theese immages, but now -

thanks to internet , this stupid way to comunicate isnt needed anymore, isnt it...

lol

hehe,

But this is a great way of communication esp. if you have to discuss difficult things. Things which are easier to write down instead of talking about. Maybe I should more often use a chat or board to "talk" with my wife.

The pictures are great. What I do noct like that much:
- the trees (maby some textures would bring them alive
- the gras behind the house looks very tiled

great work tom, you might want to increase the size multiplier on the vraysun to give a little more area shadow. late afternoon's tend to have really soft shadows.
When is the night shot coming??

Very nice render!! great lighting

Althought i dont like the trees that much... they seem to fake for that render... make some texture as one of the other said.

And i dont think trees that big would just come out of the ground ....they would need some root space around the trunk base i reckon.

Hi

You are all right. I also dontl like the trees. I did take them out of our llibary, hit render and thats it. No time for more tests, while we do have much better trees.

Hmm, ill see if i still want to change them.

Ah and thanks for the areashado idea. You are right. softer shadows could improve this.

great renders tom and great modelling - the lighting looks exceptional imo

like everyone has already said - just the trees let the images down

Nice lightning....are you willing to share your Light settings with us?

The images look to clean. Espacialy the roof and the pavement.

Overall nice renders!!

Compliments!

Hi Tom,

These really are very nice images - I wish I could get close Is there any chance of you doing a mini tutorial about how you set this scene up? There is not alot out there on VraySun. Cheers.

PS what do you mean by glossys
