Hello all. Been a while, but here is an image we have finished recently for a scheme in Manchester. All verified with survey data, accurate to within, well probably a nats whisker.
heres a closer in crop.
very nice.
who are the architects?
superb :shock: I love the style!
flawless :shock:
good work 
Nice Architecture
woah, splendid.
Excellent job indeed!
Lele
Very nice. 
Is it a HKR building?
good guess neil! lol
how did you know?
Someone else in the office mentioned you’d just done one, so it was more of a shove by candlelight, haha.
small world up north! lol
so yes it was an HKR special. fantastic client to have really, as their architecture is very tasty. 1 of 5 images of the same scheme.
Cool
Really good work:)
Does the building straddle the railway line?
lovely work mate…nice to see some good architecture instead of the crappo stuff I have to model over here
its sites right on the end, so no. But it would have been cool if it had of done! Very blade runner stylee. The site is an old end of line station in manchester. The site is incrediably small and overhags the canal next to it so they could fit a little more on the floor plates.
Thanks. The architect is great, and always produces top quality stuff, so working with them is an honour. Full credit to the pro photographer too for a belter of an image despite the weather conditions.
And for the record, it wasnt me that did the image, LOL, credit for that goes to Jon H, arguably the best visualizer in the UK, having been top dog at Smoothe, HD and GMJ over the years. I have to say that his speciality is glazing, so this was an ideal project.
nice job there.
Just noticed that there is a double up of light poles on the left hand side of the train station
wow you have an eagle eye! its motion blur, coz it was so windy! lol. its amazing how you never notice simple things. Cheers for the heads up!
Heh heh
Great image Tim, well done to the Neighbourhood team.
The depth and room detail beyond the glass is great
Any insights into the verified process? I guess a good photo and solid survey data is the starting point. How about that sky, original or montaged in?
really nice work. I’m wondering about the glass reflections…
is the building accross the road photoshopped in or was the building rendered with the photo as a background so it would be reflected?. same with the clouds etc. Something i always struggle with is glass and i think its mostly due to not knowing how to set up reflections properly.
Great project to work on as well…excellent work to promote yourself with
Really really nice mate. Fits the phote really well
Love the glass work.
cheers martin, good to see another company joining the vray community. Verified views are relitivily simple. You need one good photo, large enough, i.e large format, but big digital is ok too. Survey data from exactly the same spot. Then match in max, and away you go. One thing you cant do is change any thing on the photo, like removing scaffolding etc. Last stage, the most difficult bit is a working methodology document that can be used in court to prove that your images are accurate. If not then you can get in hot water.
The reflections are all photoshoped, and i believe that the render had no glazing on it when it was rendered. the reflections of the other buildings are photos from site. We do all glazing after, it makes it much easier to control.
