I did all but donno where i am lacking.......

[prateekvishwa]

hello all,
I did this project last week, im not sure what client is looking for... he think image is lacking in something.. need to look appealing.. im afraid, some time such feedback makes me feel depressed... am i outdated..? doing same old style renderings?? any suggestions to make it look 'appealing'

Hi
I think as a first step you can delete some of the cars that is blocking the view to the building entrance.

Also, IMO
-The pavement is too shiny like plastic, in the first image the curbs look good, but too small.
-The building glass, especially the second image, is too much like a mirror...maybe make it so you can see the interior a bit, too.
-The sidewalk mapping in image 2 looks like a strange angle...
-Shrubs and small ornamental trees really should be in a mulch bed.
-I find the leaves on the ground distracting because I can't tell where they came from. All the trees have green/summer leaves not autumn...
-maybe try a new sun position?
-Some people are not matching the scene lighting/shadows

The tree/bushes in image1 is much too prominent, blocking your view "through" to the building. You have a big "dead" space just to the right of the tree right in the golden section that your eyes are being drawn to, and are then blocked from the rest of the image by the tree. Some of the cars are also blocking your view as mentioned above. You need to lead the viewers eyes into the picture and present the building, which is what the image is about. Think about the composition in terms of golden section or rule of thirds. The top Tesco sign positioned on one of these hot spots might help.

I would lower the camera and desaturate

Here's a markup I did.

Don't mind the weird colors, my monitor profile is clearly different than yours, the comments are the only thing I did.

Some really nice cars with great reflections would be a+. Seeing as this seems to be a dealership of sorts, you really need quality cars to sell this image.

Don't think you're outdated or anything like that. It really is fine, but we're here to take it to the next level. . Also, you might try and render with a GI Override of a saturated darkish blue hue, sometimes that helps me figure out what I want. Also, you might try a dusky shot, not dark, but with some of those iconic dealership lights in the parking lots.

i think its personally not a bad effort at all...Certain sections look really nice and some bits could be tweaked.. i would take the reflection off the tarmac.It feels as though it has been raining in the past hour or so, but the sky is a nice bright sunny day.

Planting and tree's are fine beside already commented on the hedge on the left that looks too boxy.Maybe put an FFD mod on it and start playing around. It looks as tho its a evermotion model so shouldnt be a problem to do

Already mentioned by someone the glass

Dont have so many cars in the view of the camera towards the building.

Other than that it shows what it needs to. I doubt the client would want an overcast super real image with dirt everywhere, when they are obviously selling the design of a supermarket

[MoonDoggie]

Ah it's a supermarket? My original comments apply still, but disregard "dealership".

[Drawehn]

These are defintely no bad images. Mood is quite nice. Most of the previous comments are correct though and personally I think it's a lot about camera angles too.
At the moment your viewpoint put a lot of emphasis on all those cars and the tarmac whereas you might want to get more of the building in and have less distracting foreground action.

THANK YOU ALL! after seeing your comments i realized i was doing some basic mistakes.. seeing image again & again at the same time you tend to feel it is perfect which is not true always.. may be this is wht happened in my case.. Have updated it now.. thanks you Colin for your markups! i adapted most of them. Cant change angles as it is approved by client earlier.. cant do much changes in landscape locations aswell as it is based on master plan. have desaturated overall colours.. hope client will like it now.. lets see..

I still think that tree is in the way in net1, can you just remove it or make it a low scrub, so that it does obscure the store?

[l.a. akira]

More than anything, the lighting is hard to read. I would recommend taking some photos of similar locations or similar angles at the times of day you want to recreate and study as many aspects of the photos as you can. Relationship of hilights to shadow darkness, sun angle, sky color, overall contrast, etc. Good luck!

[tarontis]

Those views look much better now, camera angles look much better.

I think the people you've added spoil it though, they haven't merged in very well. I think either the perspective or the scale is wrong for them.

[MoonDoggie]

Much better. The second image feels a bit on the cool side, but they look much better. Here's hoping your client likes them as well!

Cheers,
Colin

Coming late to this thread but I'll add this; good job incorporating everyone's feedback and improving your images. The final results look much, much better. Good work.
