Sycamore

Here is one that is turning out pretty good. From start to finish, 1.5 days. I have to work on the gravel and other details, but overall, not bad.

Hi Bobby.

-The gravel looks out of scale and you can see on left corner some kind of pattern
-the color of the grass is very saturated in my opinion
-I've seen that you have the same problem in most of your renderings, the glass is very dark, too reflective and flat...Glass panels have some distortion that you can get with a subtle bump texture

the tree shadows on the house are nice. The reflection of the sky on the roof is very believable. I disagree with the comment about the glass being too dark. Look at photos of real buildings and your glass seems right to me.

I was driving back from a client meeting and I was paying special attention to glass, and yes, it's dark. I brightened up a tiny bit. I also fixed the gravel. I sent it off to the client, so I expect some more tweaks.



I'll work on the square pavers, which are now tripping hazards

Looks a bit like a 'game' render if I'm honest, but in two days to model, texture, light and render: not bad. You really do churn these things out Bobby. You are a busy boy!

What's making it look like a game render? I don't want to sacrifice quality for speed, but I am dang busy. Usually, after this initial stage, I start digging into detail.

Reflections, planting, lack of atmosphere...just looks like a 'click render'. As I say, for a couple of days, not bad at all.

Then, I have my work cut out for me

This is the photo-realistic rendering that the architect provided the real estate people.

Sorry Bobby - didn't mean to put you down or spread a bad vibe.

It's all relative

A tree in front of the entrance, really? That has nothing to do with software.

You kidding! That's why I post here; I value all of your opinions. I have always wanted to go to art school and here, I have the best teachers.

Well. I'm certainly no teacher, in fact I wish you would make me an instructional video, it somehow takes me a week to do something like that. Still haven't figured out shake siding for example. Is it only displacement or the tile material?

As for the picture I don't think it looks game at all. The house and shadows are really great in my mind. What I would look at:

- The super flat and clean road and walkway needs work. If I hold my hand over this part, which is big and in the front, it looks really good. Maybe some dirt and cracks and stuff? Or leafs?
- The bushes are too square and oddly repetetive. The color of all the bushes are very uniform and in particular the grass is to strong in color.
- I agree that there is something problematic with the glass, maybe a little more refractive? Looks a bit too much mirror especially on the second floor. Not bad but too perfect reflections, maybe a noise modifier?

Thanks, Nicinus. These usually progress; I post then early to get feedback. Once it's done, it should much better. Again, thanks!
