Andybot renders

Hey there. Thought I would post something I'm working on too. I comment often, but rarely post, so here's something for comment.
The original building looked like the next door one, with no rooftop addition.

Brilliant image Andy. Has everything a good Arch Viz image needs. Warm and inviting. Sure your client is very pleased.
Would be interested to know what is PS and what is raw render?

Thanks! Appreciate your comment.
Here are some images from my workflow.
1. original image of existing building
2. vray render
3. material ID channel - allows me to tweak individual materials in photoshop.

Some notes:
I cut out a part of the original image to be the foreground (some of the neighboring buildings, ornamental tree, street signs/ lamps, and cars)
I used photomatch to draw some of the details on the existing building, but I adjusted the view some for the render since the perspective was too skewed to use as is.
I have just one decent tree in sketchup, and with enough material to use in the existing photo, that's enough in this case.
I have a cylinder around the model behind the view with some of the street context images to give some proper reflections in the glass. The glass has a slight noise bump-map just so the reflections aren't perfect.
I have the grass mapped in the yard like I show in the material ID tutorial.

I recently got a few as-built photographs of some renders I did 2 years ago. Thanks chaosgroup (and asgvis developers) for this great tool, I am so looking forward to the new versions
