House Rendering - pool side

[Morne]

So here's the same trick applied to your 1st image:


I think your 1st image modified is the winner (well just my opinion anyways)

[glorybound]

yes, agreed!

I dont like the soft glow.

I'll render it out again this weekend and try it again

As usual I don't like the razor sharp corners you have on all your stone textures.

As usual its a tight tight crop! The left side of the house barely has room to breathe.

Here is a quick turntable animation

This suck BIG time! You should turn the other way Just kidding. It's looking good. Looking forward to the final

I think the sun should be more like noon time.... Casting shadows over the pool is not good idea, the camera maybe needs to be a little bit higher to see more water...... And the glass doesn't look like maxwell, it looks cheap!!!! ( It's a joke).

[glorybound]

Well, Flini2004. You can just kiss my glass! I am rendering this out again, and have made some adjustments, including the sun angle.

I am working my butt off on this one, and I am not getting anywhere. I think it's because I can't render it out at a high enough resolution, so my darks are really muddy. In the original I wasn't seeing wealth, and it's one expensive house. So, I made some tweaks, and here it is. I'll see if I can tweak some settings so I can render it out higher.

Much much better! look at all that open space! Good materials and definition too. The tree on the right is looking kinda weird (blurred in PS?) and the grass could use some colour variation/highlights. Other than that, great improvement.

[Morne]

Looks much better. I think you're overdoing it a bit in photoshop however

Also, I would take out the fence in the foreground and maybe add some flowers instead. Agree with the tree on the right, something seems off there. Also, I don't think your sky fits in the scene

[glorybound]

the sky is from the HDRI, so that should be good. My main issue is render times are astronomical. When I get those down, I can work on composition.

[Morne]

what is astronomical and what res you doing it?
