Nice work. Perhaps a bit more contrast in the direct and indirect light
and the textures are tiling a bit. Overall good stuff! Keep it up.
I wonder how the road and diveway/walkways would look slightly wet.
When realtors shoot houses they tend to hose down the driveway.

The horizon is WAY too low.

hi
your camera angle is way off.....makes it look like a model.

Thank you guys.
This is the oposite view ot the house, the backyard.

I have to agree with the above comments, but great looking model though, especially the back. Glass looks good too. What was it modeled in?

[natty]

hi BorDy
again i think your cam angle is way to high, in architectural renders i think
you should always keep the cam at eye level unless asked not to, to give it
a better sense of perspective.
get rid of those people, they look stuck on.
soften the shadows, and perhaps model the roof tiles.
increase your AA settings to sharpen things up a bit..........

Thank you Natty I really will use your advices in my next projects.
The cam advise is useful.
I have problem with these people I can't make them loke OK and realistic.
Yes the roof tiles )) may be I forgot them.

@Adrian Brown I just post reply to your house , I model houses with ArchiCAD and everything else in MAX 5.0, as you see I still can't use Photoshop good enought.

The model is just fine, but the materials are too "muddy" i think. This makes the scene dark and "unhappy".
Place some grass fence around the house.

the cardboard ppl look like they are about to fall over cos of the camera angle. As they said before fix the cam and your ppl will look better. But there is also a white rim on the man in the front. So you have to fix the alfa.

I tried to fix some of my mistakes and here is the result.





There are no people at this one, because I need help to learn this alfa chanel stuff first. Please help me a little. I want to know how exactly to put people, trees and bushes ( and may be other things) with Photoshop and to make them look real enougth. Then how to make them have shadows. I have no expereance with post procesing my renderings in Photoshop. Need help
Thanx

One problem can be the angle and lighting conditions the plants and props
were created at. If the plants are shot straight on they can look really
artificial. If they are shot individually and you place them together thet can still look artificial. So If you have a digital camera and the time to
kill you can go out and shoot groupings of plants at roughly the same time
of day you are trying to portray and cut them out.
It also helps if you know the height of the camera so you can more closely
approximate the height of the camera in MAX.

Dont think I gave you a magic bullet there but it is at least my experience.

Good luck.
