finaly uploaded an Image for comments. this is a final but I'm trying to get sharper images with richer colours for the nest ones I work on. I'm playing aroud with exposure in Photoshop but not shure what else I can do.




any critique or comments welcome.

The sun is very bright, but the sky is simple blue.
The street is dark, but the rest is to bright as well.
The flass looks ok! A Fresnel effect could improve it just a little, but not sure.
I would give the cars and people a strong motion blur, or simple make them grey to get more focus on the house.
The walls having a reflection, but they don't reflect the sky. So it doesn't look like metall, more like a grey wall.

Hope that helps

I would try to do something with the sky perhaps, color, and reduce the amount of negative space @ the top left.

I agree with the comments, the building looks great but all the surround environment seems to artificial.

Nice image anyway!

Excellent work!!!!

I agree the metal panels could perhaps reflect a bit more of something
in them. Perhaps add a photoshop blurred image to the materials environment reflection filter. You could also turn on glossy reflections too if you haven't already.

The shrubs could possibly do with a little shadows underneath them so they don't look like they're floating. But I'm very impressed with your glass. Glass that reflects the sky with a blue tinge is relatively easy, getting green glass to look right is damn hard.

I know this is asking a bit much, but is there any chance you could fill me in on the settings for your glass? The fact that you have actually built offices in behind the glass definitely adds to the realism though.

How long did this image take to render?

Hats off to you. Well done.

Thanks Sunny my glass settings are:

Diffuse = black
Reflect>Value = 65
Refract>Value = 255
IOR = 1.517

Fog Color = green
Fog multiplier = .03 (this really confused me when I was figuring it out)
affect shadows on.

I think these are the important settings, tell me otherwise.

I haven't got into glosy just yet, using a blured image is a great idea.
it took 6 to 7 hours because we print it on A3; 3308x2338.

Much appreciated. Keep up the good work.
