dantrodgers Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Studio/Institution: DanRodgers3DGenre: Commercial ExteriorSoftware: ArchiCAD 16, 3ds max 2013, Vray, PhotoshopWebsite: http://dantrodgers.wordpress.comDescription: This is my first of 2 final year projects for Uni. The centre is designed to be mixed use, both offices and labs/workshops for engineers. This project will have pretty slow progress as the visualisations aren't marked for my course, its more of a hobby so will have to take a back seat if other workloads increase. any c&c would be great.

dantrodgers Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Update. I am pretty happy with how this is turning out so far, but I am still pretty clueless with archviz renders so any tips on where this could be improved would be great Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopperk Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 It's looking good, maybe you could straighten up the vertical lines, using the guess vert in the vray physical camera settings...also add more or greater reflections in the glass. Also if possible change the sun orientation to get that orange reddish glow you get at sunrise or sunset along with the soft shadows cast from the foliage and tree in the foreground.

dantrodgers Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thanks for the advice. The scene is currently lit with a HDRi and no sun, what would you recommend for adding the sun? Vray sun or just a direct light? What does straightening up the vertical lines actually do for the image? I've seen it mentioned quite often on here, does it just make it look more real??? Thanks again mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopperk Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I haven't used HDRi's much, but I would just use VRay sun, it's preconfigured so if you set it low from the horizon you automatically get that sunset glow. With regards to the vertical lines, it just makes all the vertical elements ...er.....vertical!. If you have a look at and decent architectural photography (Archdaily.com) you'll see that's what they try to do. Also You see that most of the great cg artists correct the perspective....

dantrodgers Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks a lot for your help Shahid, I've tried to address everything you mentioned above. I'm pretty much ready to call this render finished apart from the limestoney background building to the right of the image and i dont really know what to do about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd recommend checking out Ronen Bekerman's website(if you've not heard of him of course!) http://www.ronenbekerman.com/ He has a lot of great resources and inspiration....Also the likes of Viscorbal , Vyonix I could go on and on!....Good Luck!

dantrodgers Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks lot mate, for the comments and the links. I've visited Ronen Bekerman's website a few times but never heard of the others, so thanks. Just added a len flare and cropped the image a bit. Cant work out which i prefer !??
