[sedus]

hi, Long time since my last post work.
So here it is, A huge Mall commercial center 65 000 SqM.
Rendering are only for showing to parteners, mayor, town associaton what will it looks like. (sorry for my english)

Model Archicad 10 - 100%
Only People, trees, bush, and Truck were added in Max9
People AXYZ collection.
Tree Onyx
Trucks Find over Google ! (Don't really see those, but there are here)

Renders are 3500 Px wide for close up view et 4500 for aerial view.
The night View add about 200 Ligths.
Vray Sky + Vray Sun Standard.
IRR Map High Quality, + Lc 2000 Subdivisions.
About 1 Hour per Render With C2D6600@3.35 4Go XP64. But only 2 Go were Used, Max never Break the 2,1 Gb Barrier.

Fill Free to Comment! I know it need improvment.

These are quite nice & well composed. They could use a little filling-out, mostly in the aerial perspectives. Maybe more cars in the lots, and more streetlamps (in the night shot). It's always nice to have good architecture to work with.

The faded trees in the first shot, and the general image composition reminds me of many Chinese renders work on CGArch.com.

Great work.

overall looks good.

are there any streetlamps in the aerials? Maybe its my eyes - I just dont see them in either day / night shot.......

Based on the day shot where i can see the streetlamps - i would think those would have to be spaced pretty close together to get the lighting patterns you have in the night aerial shot..... I think they would end up about another 10' based on lighting.

Glass seems to reflective, I would take it down some.
Overall - great job.

So which trees are onyx? The transparent ones? Very illustrative!

[sedus]

So, Thank you for comments

- First, yes There are many Street lamps, but Due to size of the building they look very small, but are real size anyway 5 or 6 meters tall.
Building is 7 m on side and 11.5 m at highest point.

And For the Night View, Client want lots of light -> "I want A SAFE Parking for customers..." So i Put a lot of ligths.

-Second Glass Is very reflective, because there is absolutly nothing behind it... Client never tell me, and never think of anything behind it. So.... A huge Empty Space. I know it would have been a lot better with Something to show.
I will give A try.

- Third Tree are all Onyx 3D, but, For close up view Where "NOT VISIBLE TO CAMERA", so I could add some 2D photoshop Tree , but with Good Shadows casting on ground and Good Tree reflection.
All other view are Real 3D onyx, Thank for Vray Proxy help

And so there are few Mesh View.

All your renderings are very nicely composed. I'll bet the client was very pleased. Interesting design as well.

Wow, i still can't believe that the transparent trees int he first image are 3d, very nice job on them. Could you possibly give a few tips regarding onyx trees? Do you have one of these rendered without the transparency and stuff?

[gfree]

I don't really see the advantage of using 3d trees instead of plane opacity mapped trees in this case.

someone?

[pengo]

I'd prefer to use always 3d models, forexample if is asked a a zoomed view detailed shadows are visible instead of cross planes shaows and so on for the rest of advantages anyway anyone choose the method he prefers IMO

[pailhead]

I could've sworn that these were plane mapped trees, not 3d, which means that they look really good. As I said, i think that tips would be appreciated, it's hard to set up onyx trees.

I think the foreground trees in the first and fourth pictures are 2D but with a 3D onyx tree set not visible to camera so he could get good shadows, etc. He describes in his last post.

Oh, now i get it, i missed that part. Well, it would be cool if they were completely 3d, because it would mean that photorealistic trees were nailed using onyx.
