extension to modern house - photomatched

[dcauldwell_cg]

My current project, an extension to the front of this relatively modern house. The house and shrubs to the front are modelled - rest is photograph - taken on a dull day!
Lighting with a large sun, to get the soft shadows.

looking good. The white wall could use some texture perhaps. The floating stairs are a little freaky

[dcauldwell_cg]

Thanks. I think I'll stick with the smooth render, because that is what is on the existing house, but I do need to sort out the 'freaky' steps! - I was thinking of a couple of support steels so that the treads still have that 'floaty' feeling.

good one!
different bushes would be great

[andybot_cg]

Well, I don't mean you should change the look of it. I just mean even the smoothest exterior wall has some features - maybe control joints, maybe a light stucco texture, anything to make it feel a bit more "real"

[dcauldwell_cg]

Andy - good idea. Looking at the existing photo, there a couple of things I could legitimately add - a Satellite dish and an alarm box, and maybe some tiles on the flat area to the side of the entrance door.

arqestevez - yes, I agree the bushes are a bit weak, Ill see what I can do - fertilizer maybe!!


Thanks

I've re-worked the model - done some gardening (!) and added some 'bits and bobs'.
I think it is looking better now.
