Hi Guys,
Getting close to finalising these shots and would love to get feedback and suggestions to add the finishing touches or point out things I've missed.
The people have been placed in roughly and no effort has been made to integrate into the shots yet, so please ignore them for now.
Otherwise, any comments are much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Vu

Beautiful, last 3 are my favourite.
The 3rd last, the tap and fruit look amazing, textures and lighting spot on.
Well done Vu, awesome.

Excellent work! I think they are all great. My one comment would be that I find the rainbow halo around the central light in the first image a little distracting.

Thanks for your feedback guys.
Always good to get a fresh set of eyes on something you have been staring at for too long.

It strange for me to critique something so superior to what i can do....but.... the people are totally distracting. Their lack of shadows and incompatible clothing styles detract from the moodiness of the render. And the wood outside on the deck is a little strange. Seems like the wrong choice of wood. Other than that, its really great stuff.

Thanks for your comments windrockwater. Never strange giving constructive comments and suggestions.
Yes, totally agree about the people. I think I will leave them off.
And yes, the external decking timber might need some work too.
It's the timber the architects have specified, but I'm not sure if that's how it looks externally.
Thanks again.

Really nice work, you have an excellent grasp of colour/tone.

I do agree with the comments about the people though, it wouldn't take a huge amount of work to tie them in better than they currently are - but you might just be better off leaving them out of that particular picture.

can you show us before and after post vu, thanks

Love the pool shot. Good job. +1 on the people

Excellent work. Would love to see the final shots when you've done the people

Great shot, only thing for me is the floor wood? Is it me or are they a little large?

@irwit: Thanks. The timber boards are larger than normal (190mm boards ) as specified, so it must be just you :P But I can see what you mean, as we're use to seeing boards at 90-100mm.

@bob-cat: Thanks Troy. Big fan of your work too mate

@ledisnomad: I don't mind the rainbow halo on the flare, so will stick with it. I guess it's a matter of preference, but thanks for your comment.

@AJ: Yeah, I decided to go without the people for the wider shots because they weren't adding anything to the composition. May still revisit them for close up shots though.

@mcnamex: Not sure which one you wanted to see, so I picked 2 for you.

I had another look after post, its just the shots in the kitchen, I blame my untrained eye

Those 2 new images, the one with the big pieces of glass, maybe try a really large soft noise in the bump, only subtle, to try and offset/breakup that perfectly flat reflection. That's definitely my "trained" eye spotting that one :P

Water looks amazing btw, love it!



Great work!

really nice set of renders!

my only comment is related to the detailing of the (timber?) cladding. From the renders I don't quite understand the structure and hierarchy of the cladding, maybe adding small gaps between the vertical and horizontal elements would help (I would assume the vertical ones would be supporting the horizontal ones). Thats just me being quite critical with my architect hat on though!
