The architecture designs that I got are from the cgschool 3ds max bundle, except for the kitchen which I designed myself. I have been using max for a while and I just got creative cloud back, composition is something I have been working on looking at lectures and photography lectures as well I learn that the main focus should not be centered, but off centered I need to start using depth of field, which I am working on as well, and I just learned how to make a seamless texture with Photoshop. I bought a workshop from digital viz and it has been a blast learning about looks builder and after effects which I am getting better at. The digital viz workshop is getting into material creation in more depth, creating custom bump and reflection maps, creating rocks, and a lot of realism training. I do need to work on my Photoshop skills some of the stuff I see on the digital viz is quite complex like making an entire folder with a lot of maps on different passes(I use only one reflection map in Photoshop).

I am starting to get to where I want to be now. My confidence is rising towards getting some work coming in now

I don't think it is going to get any better than this for me. This photo needs more attention to modeling, composition, and Photoshop, which I do not have at the moment. I was just trying to focus on lighting for now. The image is at my lowest render settings and Photoshop will be the only thing I can give to increase my images at this point.

Thanks for the response I do use HDRIs I just didn't on these projects I usually use two one for lighting and one as a background. I have a lecture about architectural visualization composition, the rule of thirds and what not I am just not incorporating that at the moment trying to get the realism in more than anything else...heh... I will try to focus more on that. Here is another project I am working on it is supposed to be a traditional kitchen.

Here are some examples that I think are above me and where I would like to be.

I have been a architectural illustrator for a while now and I have created some visuals that have been used professionally and I have been given a pat on the back here and there. Even with that I am still not satisfied with my rendering results when compared to the works of the top most group. There is something that I missing in my renders that do not give me that next level look that I see others able to do. Why are my renders 2nd? I seem to be in a place that is one step below the top most tier. Any points on what am I doing that is keeping me grounded in 2nd place?

I'm having scaling problem as well I keep getting this message 3ds Max cannot determine the size, the field shows “(Drawing Extents Not Known)”. This is keeping me from being able to scale my drawing correctly. Also my extrude command makes 10' look like 3 inches when I extrude edible splines why would my scaling be so bad?

I use a fallout map on the reflection panel to give a reflected type material. Then just choose a white marble for the diffuse and crop as best you can hope this helps. I'm extremely new, but I haven't posted in a while and I must help someone to be promoted.

I fixed the problem a while ago I just should have said something. It was that the entire building needed to be set up with vray materials in order for it to render correctly.

Thanks for the reply, but what do you mean by them sharing a muiltisub material? Was that set somehow in revit?

Hello I am having a problem with my 3ds max scene and was wondering if anyone could lend a hand. I have modeled a scene in revit and imported it into max. The storefront windows have a revit material on them and it renders fine. But when I set the window panes to a vray glass material bright light comes out from the windows and destroys my scene.

Hi, my name is Antwoine and I'm new to this forum. I was wondering about the CG school I am thinking about buying a few bundles and wanted to see what were the cons about it.
