These went south. I invested a ton of work. However, I just couldn’t please the owner. Anyway, here they are.
Not only did the design change a lot, I think the architect had unrealistic expectations. I think I did the concrete floor ten times, this not even being the best one. Each set of red-lines grew and grew; he must have gone through a dozen red markers.
sorry to hear 
These look pretty sweet! I like the second one especially with the green panels.
I had already decided that I wouldn’t do work for them again, so it doesn’t bother me too much. They have always used a hand illustrator and I was their first digital guy, so I really think that they are clueless. Actually, their client recommended me because I did work for them before. I literally got a weeks worth of changes with a demand letter saying stuff like, “WE NEED THIS DONE, WITHIN THE HOUR!” and a lot of, “WE ARE EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND SO IS OUR CLIENT!!!” I do not exaggerate all caps with lots of exclamation points.
The renders look great. The client is obviously a dick. So they didn’t pay you?
No, they paid. I told them that once I get the final payment I’ll upload all the data.
what the hell was their problem then? did they say?
The lights behind the bubbles went from white glass to white illuminated, to blue illuminated and back to white glass (not illuminated), however, apparently the message didn’t get back to me that it was again illuminated. Basically, I said that I couldn’t work on it until mid-week and then he went ballistic. Mind you, almost 1/2 the spaces changed along the way; apparently, it was taking far too long. How I am able to keep a deadline when things change every time I get it back? I don’t know! I think I put up with 10X the crap anyone else would, so I wish them luck.
yeah you always have shit like this come up, part of the business. Just open nice bourbon and move on.
What Dmitry said…
Sheesh…

I am expecting them to get back to me tomorrow, asking me to finish it as soon as I can because the other guy says he wishes he could do 1/2 as good 
They look great to me Bobby (as far as renders go). The trouble with a commercial space like these is they are not particularly interesting, and therefore making them look good in a render is like polishing the proverbial turd. The client/architects sound like they are impossible to please. Some people are just a waste of time.
that’s why its good to send them very noisy renders and low res, unless the money they pay is really good, i think some of them are fishing for options, they don’t say it right at the start so they use visualizers to do this, everytime they say they don’t like this or that is another option they end up with and sometimes for free
These look great to me too, the people integration is really nice. Can you tell us anymore about that?
Great stuff Bobby. I find these are one of your finer works. Sad to hear that the client didn’t think so 
Bobby they look amazing as others have said! Are those Render People or AXYZ 3d people?
Believe me, I tried. They freaked when they saw it and said, “WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF YOUR WORK!” After explaining that they were proofs I got, “FROM NOW ON SEND US HIGH-QUALITY PROOFS SO WE CAN SEE EVERYTHING CLEARLY”
The people come from varies places. The newest ones come from https://humanalloy.com/
Thanks! They are okay and they took a lot of work.[quote=“vladimir.nedev, username:vladimir.nedev”]

The thing is with “photo real” style illustration your final product can not be any better/different than if a photographer captured the space. Having worked in an architectural practice and seeing projects go from concept to completion I can say your images are a fair representation of what the completed space will probably look like. Architects today tend to preferred NPR illustrators as they more closely resemble an architect’s vision…a vision which usually has no basis on reality. One should not blame the illustrator for the shortcomings of the architect but that is often the case.
Anyway, nice images as always.
Edit: Oh I recomend kicking back with Woodford Reserve, thats good stuff
