some updates and a cleaner render.



c Other than that, I think it is looking pretty good. Once I render out the final I'll spend some time on Photoshop adding detail.

update

Great improvement from the previous, pavers and shadows are much better.

Bobby, do you ever use the link manager or do you model from scratch?

[glorybound]

Thanks! No, I don't link things.

a little cleaner. I was seeing some noise on the garage door.

The leaves on the right tree look a little funny. Pointy. Otherwise, very nice.

I have move those hanging trees over a little. it's hard to find nice trees for close ups.

Just go in your tree object, detach your leaves from the mesh, but a turbo smooth modifier on them. Reattach them. And make sure your have an opacity map, cause by the looks of it, it doesn't like you have one.

Update with a better foreground tree

How long do these renders each take for you? I just cant seem to get the same level of realism you get. Nice vignetting or AO or whatever that gives it a slightly fuzzy, atmospheric look.

Care to share your render settings and lighting ? Maybe send me a max file with the lighting setup and render settings? Just a thought in case you feel like sharing the love!

Thanks for the kind words! This one I can't share, but the next one I can. These are lower resolution, so they took just under an hour to render. Post production is pretty simple and only takes a few minutes.

Color Correction - Shadows -8,0,8 - Highlight 8,0,-8
Ambient Occlusion pass - 40%
Color Effect Pro Glamour Glow - 40%
Magic Bullet Like Bleach Bypass - 20%
Photo Filter Warm (85) - masking the background using the ZDepth
NIK collection Sharpener Pro - 50%, masking the background using the ZDepth
Vignette - 30%

This is the recipe I use for my exteriors.
