Townhouse

[glorybound]

Here, is a townhouse render. It was a challenge, because I had to model it from photos, but it's done. It's for a home owners associations; they are repainting their buildings, and they wanted to see their options.

some updates done this am

Bobby the renderings look really good, the one's done this morning look better to me! Also what are you using for vegetation?(Grass Trees and such). Gadzooks

Very nice model! Something weird with your shot though - the vertical lines diverge instead of converge. Try using a more normal viewpoint and lens settings.

Thanks! I used Autograss for the grass and iTrees and iBushes. With the grass, I used a custom shader and cut/paste a field of grass in PS, with blending a blending mode.

These site on a hill, so I am standing in the road looking up. The lines are vertical, so it might just be an illusion.

eh, you're right, the lines are straight. I think that's the problem - it does make an optical illusion because 2pt perspective is not natural when you are looking up at something. The vertical lines should be converging. If the rendering were more obviously an architectural presentation that would be fine, but here it's wanting to look like a photo, and 2pt just feels off.

Okay, how about this? I changed the perspective in PS.

I very much like the technical quality of the render. Finally its not razer sharp and has some smooth depth to it. Nice one.

The tree in BG is tad too blurry but other than that very nice!

CRAP! I forgot the sharpen filter

looking good bobby...

Only a few comments on design, but otherwise looks really good.

1. FG spruce tree on right looks really odd at some areas
2. Even though the itree spruce models are nice, for a place like this, I'd really avoid using the mostly dead trees. They are likely to have landscapers, if that were in a condo development. So a tree like that would be dropped, or at the very least be limbed-up.
3. Maybe not everywhere is the same, but to me, those gutter downspouts ought to be fastened to the corner board where they will a) not stand out, and b) will have a better anchor than vinyl or cement siding. Typically around my locale (Northeast) you would never fasten gutters directly to the siding for many reasons aside from aesthetics.

Don't mean to rag on the gutters. (Overall, I am still pleased you added them.)

[glorybound]

Yes. I noticed the right tree.... I am not sure what happened. I was going to PS it, but i didn't have time. I make special notice of how gutters are attached, but you are probably correct.
