The more I use Railcone, the easier it is getting, but it is a lot of work. The roof and siding is Railclone goodness.

Coming along nicely. I have more things to do, so I did very little in PS. I'll beef up the grass in PS, when I am done with the model.

Coming along nicely. The copper is a little too red and reflective/clean to my liking. Glad you find RC useful. For cladding like this, shouldn't be that much of a hassle. I can see your roof through the windows of the dormers though . And your vegetation is a little too blueish.

Did you use rail clone for the roof as well? The pattern on the garage roof is to repetitive. Can you vary the width of the shingles?

Something is wonky on the garage roof and I am working on this. Yes, it is railclone

Some updates

[glorybound]

Some minor changes. The windows, being black, are mighty dark. I did double up the reflections, but it still looks like black holes.

Looks like you have two sorts of lawn too.

Well, it might be hard to tell, but the camera is on a different plane than the house. I put that little path, which leads to a few steps, to kind of clue people about the difference in elevation. Also, like you said, there is different grass on the higher plane, which isn't nicely landscaped as the lower plane.

Try using the Reflection or Raw Reflection elements in "Normal" blending mode in PS. Then adjust the opacity (instead of the usual add mode)

I'll give that a try

I usually use the reflection pass and mask it to the glass. I doubled the reflection up 3X

Well you're reflecting dark shadows, what did you expect would happen won't make much difference unless your lighting is different.

I have an HDRI wrapped around the house, so it isn't any different than my regular workflow. I think the black windows are making things look different than they usually do.

Maybe throw some window coverings inside might help a bit?
