Studio/Institution: Freelance Genre: Residential Exterior Software: Revit, 3Ds Max Design, Vray Description:
Hey guys, I have a project that needs to meet professional expectations. There's a lot of detail that still needs refining as the architectural drawings are not very concise. I had a few stone samples which I took photos of with my DSLR and use with vray mtl, diffuse and bump map (made with photoshop). The mullions and slate roof will be espresso colour (option for blue slate roof as well. I need to add a skirt at the bottom with different material to see how it turns out. Landscaping is last on the priority list.
I'm using VraySun and a flat background plane with sky bitmap. I also have a front plane with landscaping image which seems to cause reflection on the stone walls which affects the colour and render outcome. I'm not sure if I should use HDRI in this situation (I will do rear and side renderings later on) or a skydome primitive, etc.
If anyone has any render settings recommendations, please advise. Need to finish in 2 weeks.
