The Lind House

This was a quicky and I am not yet happy, but it is due now.

Seems a little dark and cool perhaps? Brighten it a little and put a warming filter adjustment on it and it's good to go.

[glorybound]

Yes.... a little bit helps a lot!

::thumbs up:: Yes, a little brightening helps! My preference would be to add some yellow to warm it up more.

Didn't you have another angle of that house, or a very similar one? I'm probably mixing them up but I remember that lighting as much softer with less harsh contrast?

[glorybound]

I tried with just an HDRI with the inverse gamma set to .75. I agree, and I'll probably redo it, but it has to go out now.

I think it's great, especially if you're on a time crunch. Seldom do I see actual darks in renders these days, it's more moody but I like that.

Perhaps just back off the AO a bit

I like the first version better. Only thing for me is that the sky just looks odd/mismatched or something. Sorry I can't be specific, perhaps it is fine...
Everything looks nice realistic, detailed, and sharp, but the sky looks more like a pastel painting or fantasy scene, IMO. Grass, glass, and stone look great, btw.
Agree with Nicinus, seems a bit too splotchy/dirty on the lighter building material.

I had a few hours over the weekends.

I'd warm it up as well. For me it's neither cool and crisp nor warm and welcoming. I'd warm up the image a tad, especially near the RHS where the sun is. Keep the shadows cool though, and you'll get a nice early morning dawn atmosphere.

And the garage wood looks very flat. Could use a stronger grain.

I was just warming it up.... I was looking at it on different devices and decided that it needed a warm color correction.

Warmer highlights and wood grain on the doors
