latest exteriors

[rmejia]

Looks very nice, I find the grass kind of strange though ... the patches.

[pengo]

as always nice work and perfect balanced
I mean perfect contrast and perfect white color and obviously all the rest

congratulations

[Guca]

Nice renders, I like the light but I agree with Priad about the curtains, some variations will be good

It is good to see you here... I have seen your work over at Evermotion. You are one of my favorites! I look foward to seeing more of your exteriors and I hope you share settings.

I always like to see your work, and this is no exception. I agree with the wooden chairs looking a bit small, I like that grass, and that flowering bush in the first image. Your stone bump/displacement looks a bit too bumpy or the bitmap isn't sharp enough. I really like the shadows cast from the upper balconies in the second image. I like the idea of matching the umbrella and chair purple to the flowering grass, but I still don't like the color. That's just me. Ok, I'll shut up now. Let's see more of your work!

hi friends
thanks a lot for all ur comments.

I used vraysun+vraysky and vraycamera.
it is not gamma-corrected.
it is linear color mapping. but I raised dark multipliers.
sun multiplier is 1.
skymap is related to sun.
I used exposure on vraycamera.

renders are 1.5-2hours each image. I used irmap+qmc
settings for irmap are: min-max:-5,-1 for 1600px reso image
I dont use high settings for exteriors.

percy thax about grass ehehe...

about curtains: u r right. I will try to make ur advise in next renders

chairs are scaled but I dont know why look small. maybe because they are far from camera.

thank u all again

So let me get this straight... your max gamma is not enabled and your VRAY Color Map gamma is 1, and you are not doing any color correction? I have tried every gamma, color correct, and every other tip, just to revert back to how I started... ugh! I always had a feeling this forum was to confuse so nobody could get good. Now that I have figured out the forum secrete I am game on keeping people confused

Can I ask what your camera f-stop, ISO, and shutter speed is?

Beautiful work!

I really like the grass. Gives it more of a country setting feeling.

[Dman3d]

Good stuff

[DaForce]

Very nice renders!!!
Really crisp.

[dellis]

I like them....love to see some settings...

hi again

about LWF:
max gamma is NOT enabled.
vray gamma (under colormapping rollout) = 1
so I didnot use LWF.
BUT I used colormapping.
linear colormapping- and I slightly raised dark multipliers.

jeffg2: I didnot make glow as post. but it happened with raw render.
I think u know lele's method about vsun.
he told me that, if I used that method, these are not going to happen.

settings:
irradience map + qmc
irmap: min-max: -5,1 thresholds: 0.3-0.1-0.1
hsph:50 interpolation sample: 20
qmc settings: default

vsun: multiplier is 1
vsky is related to vsun- and automatically created.
vcam:
fstop (different values in each image): 8,11
shutter: 125,100
iso: 100
exposure control enabled.
no vignette
vignette only in 2nd image.

thank u again all

LWF

I tried your settings on a project I did last month and it looks great. it looks great without all the color corrections. Thanks for sharing you settings.

[Paul Oblomov]

Nice images!

BTW giraffe think you don't mind I can't look at noisy avatars

GI

Are you usng your vraysky in your GI Envorinment (skylight) and Reflection/refraction environment override? The reason I like working this way, the way you discribed, is so I can use traditional camera settings. f-stop 8 and shutter speed 125 makes sense.
