building at the beach

[silver]

hello guys
this is my newest job, i was in big troubles with render times, so i did one simple test and just let unable the secound bounce, before, it was tooking about more than two hours, now without secound bounce and in a resolution of 4000 x 2400, it took only 14 minutes!!! i went completelly shocked, and i dont know you but i dont know with in this case, the secound bounce is really important, tell me what do you guys think about it.

bye

Looks pretty so far ... I am particularly interested in these mixtures of real photos and 3D.

hello tisho, i did it mixing mate shadows in some planes and adding some trees outside 3d building limits, this can mix in a better way the 3d from the photo, in my opinion. And now DR rocks, heheh it was time! 3 machines and 5 buckets to render the image

There's something odd about the montage. I have the feeling that the top of the building should lean more towards me. Just a little.
I don't know, maybe it's me.

hi Marc, i guess you were right, i did some adjustments in camera position , colour and lights, now i believe it is a bit better.

[Dogzilla]

so which building is the new developement?

Second image looks better, imo.

Cant wait to see it all mapped and finished.

[UBIKmh]

Yes , looks a lot better. Now let's hope these colors are not the definitive design colors .

off topic.... brazil is beautiful (not the render), i mean just look at it.

except for that neighbourhood...it kinda reminds me the neighbourhood from GTA Vice City which is close to the airport.

I am sorry to say this, but my opinion is that it completely blows away the other buildings in that environment. I would not be happy at all if i would live near to that building.

As for the rendering, I think you should desaturate the rendering a bit to make it believable, especially the blue colors.

[paulison]

hmm yeah same, not enough glass or balconies (looks a bit blocky)...

LOL....havana district from GTA vice city right ezrhythm?

anyway, I think you did a good job with what you have to work with and it will be interesting to see how well it can fit in by desaturating the building a bit

hello guys, i am sorry to say that those are the final colours, hehehe, it is not my fault, the architect asked me to do that way, so... this area used to be unhabited for poor people, but since two or tree years ago, foreign people are comming to brazil and buying lands there because it is near the beach, so step by step, it is growing and getting better.

now a pool view, i would like to know what would you guys change about materials, not about colours, but if there is somethig you can point wich could let the image more realistic i would appreciate.
