House in Antwerp

[Vizioen]

I like to use the area filter with a size of 2, it softens edges in a really pleasing way.

If photorealism is what you're after, use some reference photographs and look at how sharp they are (or aren't!).

I'll give that a try, will post here with updates.

Do you have any good names of good photographers as I don't know any And I feel like I really need to dig in to photography myself a bit more.

Have to say the light in the really warm low sunlight through the trees image is gorgeous.

Thank you, I like the morning feel it gives.

I love the colors, especially with the warm interior contrasting the exterior colors. Materials are amazing!

One thing I wanted to comment on was the 2point perspective, it makes the building seem top-heavy in your compositions. I'd dial that back a little bit and allow some 3 point perspective in your views.

Thank you; could you provide me with a 3 point perspective example where it was called for and adds to the composition? Because, personally, photos/renders where 3 point perspective is used from an eye level point of view always make me feel as if the photographer is falling

OK, here's an example. I did a slight lens shift so it's closer to 2pt, but I still allowed for some sense of receding in natural perspective. Maybe it's just your composition with the wide angle makes the image more distorted. I really liked these images here: http://forums.chaosgroup.com/showthr...s-Just-offices and these seem to be all 2pt, but I think the camera angle is not as wide, so they don't feel so distorted. Maybe if you have a way to narrow your FOV it would help.

That's a matter of personal taste I guess. I don't think it would benefit much from a 3 points perspective

I 100% disagree about using 3-point perspective for images like this, with this subject matter.

[andybot_cg]

I stand corrected. To my eye the distortion seemed too extreme, but I see your point that convention says 2pt.

Edit:
Word of appreciation for all the experience and knowledge on this forum. I did some reading to figure out the why and wherefore of 2pt perspective in architectural photography/ rendering. (for example: 2 point perspective in archutectural photography). Now I understand a little more about the mechanics of how to compose architectural images, and a better understanding of how the compositions here are assembled. Thanks!
