A mailbox photomontage

[pailhead]

I'm working on another version of the mailbox, as well as another shot for this one, so comments are more than welcome.

wow so nice lighting
is this vray-sun sky system?
can u tell us about ur lighting?

[DaForce]

So I am assuming thats all 3d ... that is pretty damn cool

[pailhead]

Huh, i didn't mention what's 3d and what's not. Is it obvious?

[DaForce]

Well I didnt read the subject properly and thought it was all 3d.. and in my eyes, really good 3d.

Now I see its a photon montage what ever is 3d fits in really well

[instinct]

Nice job, the only thing that pops to my eyes is the shadows. The shadowed side of the mailbox is a lot more blueish then the shadowed part of that rail next to it.

Really nice job!

sorry I didnot read topic name fine too
it is a nice photo-montage.

very well done. yes the shadows coming from the mailbox seems just a tad too blue.

i think you need to lower the amount of GI the white is generating to o.8 or so.

I think that i need to render out a mask for the white parts and fix it in photoshop

Lighting looks good. I would add some bump or displacement to your roof tiles. They look a little flat right now (In contrast to the existing structures).

Here's another view, different color.

Again, i don't think that the white trim is matching the photo correctly, but i need to wrap this up very quickly and i'm sure that this is an overkill as it is.





For both of these, i think that shingle is the main flaw of these images. But, i don't have any textures with a suitable bump or displacement map (i actually modified the bump map for this myself) so this will have to wait until i have some time to spare on creating a nice displacement map.

Everything else, i think i'll fix it in photoshop, either by hand, or by rendering some masks.

I'm on a laptop right now, so feel free to report any color issues

Also, i added a bit of noise to the second image, and i think it's a bit too much. I need to install alien skin for this.

i think the soffit linit may be a bit too light compared with the house next door and i think theres a light leak or something on the bottom of the posts - could just be colour bleed from a white 3d ground thats been cropped out?

i think both are excellent matches to the photo's though in terms of lighting!

[percydaman]

along with that the others said, I would remove the chromatic abberation. It just doesn't really add to the image IMO.

These are the finals i guess.
