shadowthomas Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hello All, I just recently completed my second architectural visualization project and I find I quite enjoy doing it. I'd like to know how well my work stacks up and any improvemnets. The observatory was modeled from literally a napkin sketch, the small house was modeled from a set of plans I downloaded. Thank you for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salvador Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Good start! Long way to walk. Try comparing your renders to the closest in type from "the best" as appointed in the archviz forums. The more you can self-critique and learn, the better your work will be. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockley91 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I think it's great that you have an interest in this field. I don't really see anything that stands out. Textures and Detailing need much more work. I don't see a lot of "life" in the renderings. having said that, I think you are off to a great start!

shadowthomas Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Many thanks to the both of you for your input, Adam could you elaborate a bit more about not being a lot of "life" in the renderings? Thanks, Shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockley91 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hey Shadow....when I mean "life" I mean like a punchiness to it. You could add some depth of field, some more vibrance / contrast to the images and some vignetting....just a couple of little things to make it puncy. Here's some imagery I was working on last week for an OBGYN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronmolina Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 it is a good start. Another aspect to look at when breathing life into your work is that rigjt now it looks to be recently renovated. try to add more objects on your scene so it has the feel that someone lives there. for example, in the kitchen scene, a basket of fruit, hand soap by the sink, waist bin (just for example) You might also want to add something outside the window, even if it's just a shadow of a tree branch coming through the window. just something to make the image look a little more interesting.

shadowthomas Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Thanks for the feedback, I'm also starting to look at the work of others so I can train my eyes and mind to pick out what makes a render " good or great ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockley91 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Thanks Shadow! I'm always trying to make my stuff look better also....all the time. There's way better stuff than what I can do, but this is an incredible forum for help and sharing ideas on many many many levels. I always come here when I have a problem. I learn something new all the time doing this stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
