OK. How do you make this one look good? I tried

[percydaman]

nice work. only crit would be to add some variation to the grass. Its just too flat color/value wise.

[DH]

Looks good. I find that adding people and other bits of entourage into these types of renderings would make it pop more. Perhaps some interior lights and activity as well.

you could try to keep a small variation of green, like on grass & leaf. for example, light green, green, dark green and play in that range.
hope it helps

Looks good. Are your shingles geometry or mapped with displacement? Just curious.

[glorybound]

The shingles are geometry. I am using autograss and I haven't figured out how to vary the color.

[glorybound]

here is the other view, this is the view we re going with.

Nice job on a simple building but I really dislike these "peeking from behind the bushes" shots. I thik the foreground bushes are just a bit too much of the image.

[glorybound]

I agree. I was planning on cropping it a little.

[JeffG2]

I like the second one! Even with the "peaking form behind the bushes" effect. (I think there's a plugin for that.)

I like the second one but i'm not a fan of those bushes at all...

Can you suggest a nice library of bushes?

[pskdude]

i myself havnt been able to find one and im not to fond with the xfrog ones

I like the glass a lot.
I am getting a slight feeling of miniaturization and as others said, the view could use adjustment.
Maybe it's because the shape is long and linear, it might be good to change your aspect ratio to a
less wide one. Give some more height to show more nice sky?
I actually liked your first camera better.
Lighting is good, grass material looks a bit flat, although the grass itself looks good.
Car on the left side has a strange bright green triangle on the window.
Keep up the good work

Mentor has some nice generic bushes setup for Vray, too.
Charley Carlat also has some nice plants for sale he makes with Pflow.
