Can’t belive this came out as good as it did (not that its great) - the client provided the background image - way too dark and slightly blurry. No design was ready to speak of and I had from one day to the next to put it together - I must admit right out of max the rendering was too dark but a bit of curves and some composite in photoshop and it all came together. As most architectural projects go - not enought budgeted for a rendering but the client wants one anyway - but dispite the small budget and probably because of the short time frame I actually came out with a better than average profit and a pretty darn good rendering.
long time lurker first time poster… thanks for your comments - coming from this bunch it is a real complement - The tree masking didn’t take all that long - It made for a great opportunity to prune the trees - that is, not mask every branch - otherwise the building would have been too obscured. For the leaf areas I simply used a “noisy” brush and blotted out areas that I wanted to become leaves again.
Like I said… this one just came together.
jacksc02, just when I thought I has those darn splotches beat they show up again. haha
The original was at about 2400 pix wide - still blurry to match the photo but not as much. Used the clients photo because I didnt have time and with gas prices these days I would of blown the budget on driving out to take the pictures - OK so I exaggerate a bit but not by much. As far as them expecting more for less on the next one - your probably right - but they also realize I did them a great favor getting them out of a bind and making them look really good with thier cleint. They will be adding % on a couple of upcoming projects just for renderings. I’ll take repeate buisness over a one shot deal any time - within reason of course.
FYI the CG is the building in the foreground on the right, the connected elevated walkway towards the right which then turn back about 12’, the ramp to the left (I think this is why the wall looks like its tilited) the roof parallel to the screen in the background and the yellow building portion below it.
Again thanks to all those who have posted thier questions, comments and helpfull tips thoughout this great fourm - it has been and continues to be a great help.
I love, hate, love hate, love Vray - this time definitly Love.
