Exterior shot... i need more realism!

[Zero One 010110]

Hiya guys, im still trying to make my exterior shots more real, but, as anyone of you knows, in architecture, almost no client wanna see their building aged.. so, the dirty look is out of the question, but still, tell me what u think of this one!

Hi Zero One 010110 !

First:Why don't you use a directlight with Vray shadow ??
Second: Is the background a real photo ?? get one if it's not the case with
some horizon...

Next you will adapt the environment light accordingly to your background
colors.

Bye !

yes that image is screaming for a key light. Also your whites look a little too blown out. Also the trees need some work.

El render es de mi agrado porque como es un proyecto con materiales y colores monocromos
chido !!!!!!!!!

Ok Zero, looks really nice, but I agree, it needs a direct light with vray shadows, a better background (the sky is quite cg) and i would say that you should correct the camera, well this is more like a personal thing

I agree on the camera, seem like you could get more drama with more perspective, Did the client pick your camera? It happens to us all the time they insist on a camera that shows some crazy detail but does not best display their project.

Hi guys, here there are, some follow ups. With a small preview and a link to the big ones, about the camera, yep, the client was pretty specific about them, but i didn't found them bad potitioned, actually, the buildings are way too flat on the sides, so, i think the cameras were kinda ok. About the shadows, well... i think this is a bit different to present the images, i think that sometimes the sun and the casted shadows are a bit distracting, and i happen to find over some jobs that the faces that wern't facing the "sun" were almost always accepted at the first preview with my clients, so, i gave it a shot this way and "bam" this 2 images here were done and accepted in the same day! Thanks to the great help i have found in my bud carlosark here, i think im on a better track. at least here in Monterrey!

Thanks, and please C&C!!!

me parece ( soy nuevo en esto)
que poniendole una direct light habra mas contrastes de luz entre los planos y quedara mejor.
en la 1º imagen creo que esta medio quemado los planos blancos, no se , tal vez bajando un poco todos los multiplicadores.

salutty, buenos renders!!!

The last one i think is best. Although the tree is bleeding to much onto the wall.

I reckon you should try adding a direct light to simulate the sun, it would match the clear sky better.

Making it better

I thing you should try removing the RPC's
they suck anyway , there are many trees and shrubs to use as a Mesh object to contribute to the scene.

Also try using Photoshop and some brushes for the grass. the "grass" brush with a stamp technique would do much good for the still shots
also think about those people. delete them
they are out of place there. some 3D models would be nice

this images are screaming for perspective correction...
