Guys, this is my recent WIP project…
something from this image hasn’t ‘click’ yet… i still feel ‘unfinished’, but can’t figure out which… :?
i hope anyone here can suggest anything?
still using low render setting. I’m using LWF with gamma correction method
(man, i forgot to turn those garden vraylight invisible 
)
Regards
Good composition, I like the landscaping especially the two palms on the right. The house seems kinda flat though. Even if the material is stucco it should have alittle texture to it, I think…
Also the outdoor lighting placement is good but some lights seem too harsh maybe a softer lights. Maybe just a hint of some sky in the background for depth.
thanks LucidV
yeah… it looks flat… i think i should re-work the lighting
Yeah, a little moonlight would probably help your roof texture show up also.
Great Alex,
lets wait to see final result 
My comments is to roof (probably in progress) and this too saturated green of shurbs…
Good job as your ‘pool spa’
thanks for the comments guys!
yep, the roof is still flat plane… I’m gonna try to put some displacement there & light it a bit
since working with lwf method, i kinda miss those dark corners & shadows
i’ll post some updates later this day
regards
Wow. Huge difference. Looks great.
Yep - do not use a sharpening AA filter (e.g. Catmull-Clark). The effect of these filters is to do a slight inversion of the colors near edges. This is ok for areas of similar intensity, but if one side of the edge is too bright, the other is pushed way down and becomes black. You can try the Blackman filter or maybe Mitchell-Netravali and see if it works better.
Best regards,
Vlado
thanks LucidV, vraysun/sky saves the day
but still curious for the night scene… never done it right…
Vlado, I’m using Adaptive QMC (1,4) and mitchell-netravali. Clamp output is off (I want to keep it in floating point)… is there something i missed?
In that case, you play with the Ringing value of the Mit-Net filter and see if it makes things any better.
Best regards,
Vlado
Ive been using the blackman filter a lot recently, its excellent.
good improvement, well done.
My eye goes right to the cars in the garage. I would recompose your image so it’s emphasis isnt so much on the ugliest aspect of any house.
i didn’t realize that before would u think closing the garage door make it better?
anyway, i’ve already sent the pics to the client.
I usually don’t respond to these posts - cause everybody says “nice job”, “good render” even when it is crap. And frankly there has been too much of that going on here lately.
But this…
Your image is 100x better in less than 2 days. “Congratulations”.
Vray Sun/Sky IS awesome.
Nice morning feeling!
BTW - VRay Sinc Filter - what’s that ? Basicaly I don’t use filters, but saw it and cant’t understand what’s this…
meanadam : that’s what vray is for, isn’t it? make crappy render better in 2 days… The vrayteam has done a great job and make my life easier. All i want to say is I just got what i paid for… and a lot more than that I must say!
