Hi everyone!
Here is a render I did for fun over the holiday weekend. I probably should have been out in the sun, but I had fun re-creating it instead…I’m such a geek…anyways, Enjoy! 
Comments and suggestions are appreciated.
I like the image and especially rooftops, are these all modeled seperately or how did you do that?
nice roof, how did u modeled that?
is it geometry or displacement ?
Very nice image! 
I love the textures, and the warm feeling

Simple and beautiful.

Thanks for the comments.
The roof tiles are modeled, the stucco is displaced and I used a V-Ray camera.
where is there a vray camera?
Really nice… just a few comments, if you don’t mind that could push it a little further IMHO…
1- the shadow seems a little off. It may be too soft, or too hard… I think it could be a little softer… basically it looks artificial right now.
2- the chair could use more resolution in the fabric, I can see some faces which is distracting.
3- the fractal pattern on the gutter looks bad to me. It makes it look like some cheap plastic. I would use some real textures (not procedural) to give it some dirt and/or grime near the edges.
4- I would paint in some dirt near the edges of the floor… the general texture looks great, it just needs some edge detailing.
5- handrail looks too regular… it could use some more design, and maybe some beveling.
like I said… all good, simple feeling… looks and feels like summer in southern europe.
Thanks for the comments. This render is a recreation of my apartment balcony.
Cpnichols…
1. The shadows were actually a bit sharper in real life.
2. I agree completely
3. I used a photo grime map of pealing paint on the gutter…NO PROCEDURALS cause I don’t like them. I’ll work on making it better though.
4. I agree
5. Modeled as closely to the original as possible. Design wise they are pretty bland, but I’m just being true to the real thing.
I appreciate the help. I’ll work on making those things better!
