Here are some images I did recently for a competition of a project developer who hired two prestigious architecture firms to design the buildings. The project developer however called me after I submitted the images, to tell me that he couldn’t use them because they were too good. :roll:
Instead they got someone to trace the images in a very bad manner. The architects were furious and I don’t think they even used the traced ones.
Anyway, some of the the ‘too good’ images.
Lighting was done with a HDR image and a direct spotlight. Trees are Onyx, 5 different types, instanced to make about 150 trees.
The hanging gardens on the big building were done in PS (a lot of clicking).
That can happen alot…sometimes you don’t want the project to look like its ready for a substantial completion stamp. Especially when it’s in its schematic phase of design. Some people have a problem w/ it and some folks don’t.
Hi…i see you write from Nederland…so i think that these famous architects could be “MVRDV”, Neutleings, OMA, or Van Berkel, Mecanoo…or something like them. If my ideas are good, i suppose that they want images more evocative and less Photorealistic. When i see render of modern dutch architecture i must say that aren’t good rendering (technically!) but reallly expressive and conceptual images.
I think that they could be focused on more abstract images, not GI, raytraced shadows, “plastic look”…etc etc, as the old render managed by the classic scanline renderer…
Only my idea!
I know that i’m writing on Vray forum, but i admit that also non-photorealistic render are really interesting!
I write form Italy, but i’ve got a mad love for modern ducth archietcture!
Ciao

The architects didn’t have a problem with the photo realism. They loved it.
The client (a project developer) didn’t even want to show plans. I guess they only wanted the architects to bring their name :twisted: .
The architects where:
Architecture studio Herman Hertzberger (Neutra houses) and The Architecten Cie. (Big block).
Oh, the project developer didn’t win the competition :lol:
Love the Corbu chaise-lounge.
