'Twins' (architecture)

Again outstanding work! You really inspire me to get on the same level of composition and lighting.
* Do you use double glass? there is a sort off double reflection.

Great images… really inspiring.
I’m having the same isue as Bertrand with the noise… stil experimenting to find why is this happening.
Congrats, I’m waiting to see your next images.

I am very surprised youre not getting any GI issues and leaks cos thets exactly what scene bounding box warning tends to produce in my scenes :-/
Wish i could use mm scale in my big scenes :slight_smile:

I model double glazing for pretty much every project (apart from things that don’t need it, say Farnsworth house for example). It just looks better, despite taking a bit longer to render.

Yeah its a nice effect and realistic too!
i should do some testing if its worth for exteriors and with what distance its visible.

As i said elsewhere,

Peter you dont stop to amaze us every time you post a new work. You are very lucky to have such talented client architects, and I would say the same of you to them.

I would personally love to know more about the glass window model (double boxes with dif IDs?) and mat settings.

Many congratulations.

Jacinto

It’s hard to give feedback because this pictures are perfect :wink:

Great work Peter. White scenes are the most difficult to get right, without them looking too “white”.
You’ve managed to get the right balance. So many small subtle touches combine to make these amazing images, not just amazing renders.

thanks Jacinto

re: glass, i replied to a thread here ages ago with my glass set-up… here it is: http://www.chaosgroup.com/forums/vbulletin/showthread.php?48835-how-to-setup-arch-glass&p=422801#post422801

you are all too kind, but thanks, it’s very encouraging to me to hear that people like what i’ve done :slight_smile:

technically, there are lots of things that could be improved, but i think i managed to distract attention away from them sufficiently!

I struggled with modeling the snow, next snow scene i think i need a new approach. I’ll probably try painting a huge (tiled exr?) displacement map for the snow and get some more details into it. I think the edges of the forest could be better. Some more details in the interiors would be nice, shadow gaps, plug sockets, nothing to distract attention but just add to the realism a bit.

As I mentioned, I’m glad most people seem to like the color balance, hopefully my client will come round and replace the ones on his website.

regarding noise, on opening the scene again, I remembered that I did up the subdivs for the white walls to 32 and the concrete floor to 64

That´s exactly how i am avoiding noise now. I change the reflection/glossy materials such as metals, wood floors to 32/64 subdivs and it works fine, normal speed if i dont use DMC over 1-8. If i go over that it drastically increases render times, rly a lot.

Thanks Peter, will take a look.

About your macpro, sure you use windows on it? Some people say its not advisable - Simonhc - and i wonder why, so what are the cons (if any) of using Macpro with windows for archviz using 3dsmax?

Cheers and congratz once again,
Jacinto

It’s deserved. I have shared a link to your flickr set on this project with several of my colleagues. They were all highly impressed with your work. These images really stand on their own not just as visualizations, but as art…I could honestly see these on display somewhere in a gallery.

Let me know if you ever decide to start selling prints, I could use one in my workspace for inspiration :slight_smile:

Congratulations Peter ! Nothing to add to the global amazement ! Really beautiful mood

great set of images, all really impressive. Congrats :wink:
