House & exterior

[raistlin]

A new pics series from a last job i've done, vegetation scattered with multiscatter plugin, everything done in 5 days (start from the dwg file to the A4 300dpi render and post in ftp for my customer...)

(always sorry for this worst english...)

very good rendering ! i especially like the vegetaition. The Grass growing at the pathway is awesome. Is this multiscatter, too ?

[Morne]

The images looks pretty good. Planting is excellent. However the pictures where you see the house seems strange somehow. Not sure if you need to make the back trees darker or the sky lighter or a combination thereof. The images where you can only see the plants are perfect Well done

Thanks ! Yes i've to brighten the sky, maybe... But i've point that my customer is a house constructor, and this is his model of house... But yes i'm agree with that, there is some dark area which could be lighter...

The Grass growing at the pathway is awesome. Is this multiscatter, too ?

Yes ! evreything is done with multiscatter!!! Also gravels (yes.. i'm mad...) multiscatter help SO MUCH for this details... Grass is home made one (in fact 6 models of grass) with simple vray shader

4 hours to render this one in A4 300 dpi on my workstation (bi xeon E5520 + 18go ram)

Very Nice Indeed. Good advert for the MS plugin I would say! Do agree that the renders of the house do somehow seem to make the House appear artificially light compared to the surroundings? I like the vegetation in the shots but that is because I always prefer to look at 'Organic' subject matter in images!

) And... not... One vray sun only to light everything... maybe the contrast beetween the house and the garden? The post effect?
Here is the renderoutput from max and vray without treatment

maybe the contrast beetween the house and the garden?

Could well be the case! A lot of bright surface area contrasted against a lot of dark green.

Very good landscaping indeed, you are a master of that Raistlin, congrats !
Nevertheless I think the problem is more a story about contrast on your house, and not the link between the house and the garden.
I think you need more very dark shadows area on the house to catch the good exterior mood with a big sun like in the south of France the dark area are every time extremely black, a little bit like if you have just one bounce of GI, it's just IMHO.

Bravo en tout cas.

Thanks for the comment, and i'm trying to do a better one for the next job! The garden is all design by myself, this is the really good part of the job... Really funny to do!

Oh I see, thanks. How come they still offer vrayscatter? What's the difference? They look the same.

Vrayscatter work in another way, you can just type the proxy path and don't load anything, but work only with vray. Multiscatter (mentalscatter also) work with mental ray AND Vray, you'd have to merge/import the proxys in your scene (heavy way) BUT you can also modify the original one directly, apply a modifier (like noise, blend and other... And Scatter it directly, you could have also a "point display" for your proxys, absolutly fantastic to tweak it...
All this plugs are very young, 1 or 2 years max... So they are update every month...

If i've to choose beetween vrayscatter or multiscatter, i choose absolutly multiscatter... with any hesitation... Work with all your core, display mode, modifiy...

I think this looks great. My only comment is that it looks dark on my monitor, and I have my monitors calibrated with a Spyder 3. I think a brightness boost would help a lot with a little punch of contrast then it should look really good.
