I think the last image is much, much better. I like the soft, natural look to it.
I found the earlier ones, including the one with the children, to have too much contrast - almost burnt out. (Is this a climate thing)I don’t really care for the children - you need to take care with the lighting on these, it doesn’t quite match the scene and, for me, spoils it.
Otherwise they are really nice renders.

Re: revised and additional view exterior
thanks david up to now i still cant get the right brightness and contrast of my monitor, maybe i need to buy a new one bec. i really cant adjust it right.. ill try to fix it on my next post thanks again for the comments ;D
Re: revised and additional view exterior
For the most part I like these however the railings on the rear let the image down to me. I know that you’ve use a clip map & transparency to save on poly’s but I’d reconsider because these should be receiving highlights from such a bright sun and the current matt black stands out like a sore thumb.
Re: revised and additional view exterior
yah i am also surprised by that (railings or fence grills?) those are models even the roof… if i have time ill render a closer view so you can see the detail of all railings and grills specially the roof ;D

Re: revised and additional view exterior
that does look great! did you actually model the roof tiles? you know, from that distance I think you could get away with doing the roof tiles w/ a displacement map… 
shoot, I even made a roof tile displacement map using sketchup only! just modeled a few tiles, used a special SU style w/ fog enabled, and exported the image from top view with camera set to parallel projection. sounds like the makings for a good tutorial! 
Displaced tiles look like this on a plane:
Re: revised and additional view exterior
can you share us your displacement maps? but i think the problem with displacements is the view… specially the far views bec it will distort…
can you send it to me by email? so i can try it… santosjd13@yahoo.com
thanks and regards

Re: revised and additional view exterior

thnx in advance!
Re: revised and additional view exterior
have a look at this thread to discover how to make displacement and depth maps directly out of SU. On the third page, you can download my terracotta roof tile displacement map.
