Hey guys, new member here, from Brisbane, Aus. I'm trying to self teach myself at the moment, and I'm just working off photography, some my own photos, some from photographic architectural publications to try and reproduce the results as best I can.
Forgive my naming conventions, or lack there of. The first image is from a church in Paris (low res because its a lighting test), a photo I took myself, and the second is from a House in Sydney.
Modelling a scene is the most enjoyable part for me, and as such modelling is where I'm most experienced. mental ray, however (3dsmax 8 means I'm missing out on the A&D materials, much to my dismay) is where I'm still trying to learn. Getting the lighting right, and materials to react accurately or, in the least, aesthetically pleasing.
I'll be posting any work I put into here, really in an attempt to get me to update it regularly with new work and meaningful updates =]
So any input would be awesome, there's some killer work on these forums!
