Re: jakub’s gallery_architectural renderings
nice! great illumination, this is hdri? grass made by photoshop?
Re: jakub’s gallery_architectural renderings
hi maciek, i used combination of HDRI and Vray_sun. and the grass was a texture. I used micha’s tip http://forum.asgvis.com/index.php?topic=2320.0 , but some post processing in photoshop was still needed.
Re: jakub’s gallery_architectural renderings
just uploaded new render in the original post
Re: jakub’s gallery_architectural renderings
super architecture (my cup of tea), super renders, super ambient, nice lawn and people, I like those renders - keep posting. 8)
Re: jakub’s gallery_architectural renderings
wow… looking terrific.
conceptual but realistic.
really congrats.
hey from wich site did you download the image that you used for your grass?
you applied that with photoshop right?
very cool renders
Re: jakub’s gallery_architectural renderings
thanks for the comments 
arqestevez1 the texture for the grass was my own, it wasn’t photoshoped, i used micha’s environment mapping tip.
Re: jakub’s gallery_architectural renderings
well, it’s too bad thatdoes not work in the new builds… you have done a pretty amazing work my friend
Re: jakub’s gallery_architectural renderings
What tip do you refers to?
That post is about environment textures, am i losing something?
Re: jakub’s gallery_architectural renderings
it is about environmental mapping for the grass. normally, when you would apply a plain grass texture in vray it would look unrealistic, but when you used the right image (as for example the one in micha’s post) with the environment mapping you would get good looking grass with a little effort, no displacement or photoshoping needed. but this kind of method doesn’t work in the new builds.
just updated my gallery in the orginal post. hope you will like it.
Overall, the work is very strong, well-lit, nicely modeled, and I especially like the compositions with people, tree, etc.
One minor detail that caught my architectural eye is the lack of expansion joints in your exterior materials. Whether it’s stone, concrete, or plaster, you will see expansion or panel joints. In one view, you show a three-story wall that look like its only one piece. That’s minor … and totally OK if the client wanted it that way. If it’s your design, it might be noticed or questioned in a job interview…
