Okay, here is an early image of a project that I started this morning. I'll post as it progresses.

Did you model it in Revit?

[glorybound]

yes. it was modeled in Revit

[glorybound]

the model has grown and evolved, but looking nice!

[glorybound]

Not a lot of time invested, but progress.

[Morne]

Yes its getting there slowly. Thats a nice background giving very nice reflections on your glass, is it an HDRI? Which one?

[glorybound]

Yes, it is an HDRI. I purchased it from here: http://www.hdri-locations.com/

[glorybound]

any tricks on speeding up render times while using high resolution HDRI's? The one I am using is huge; 201 MB, but I can use it as a backplate, too.

[Neilg]

use a lower res hdri and do the background in post?

[Macker]

Coming along nicely. Love the lighting.

I have to say though, I thoroughly dislike american architecture. It's just so... weird. Like a bizarre mash up of european styles, with extra knobs bolted on.

[glorybound]

It's really about the bottom line and very little about architecture. What is the return on investment? They figure out how much rent they can get and they build a budget around that.

[Macker]

Yeah, I can appreciate that. I am always doing images of absolutely budget buildings, but the architectural style is generally pretty decent. There are of course a few ugly ducklings!

[glorybound]

I agree... I am just here to try and make them look good in picture


Here's an update
