IC Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I use the (public) grassy area next to my house to play with my kids as it's much bigger than my garden and at the weekend I was daydreaming about what I could do with it if I actually owned it, so I came up with this. C&C would be very welcome even though its only a pipe dream. Modelling, rendering and compositing done in LightWave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IC Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 That's an idea-problem is they maintain it. It used to be a putting green in front of the tennis pavilion but now it's just grass. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 nice render. i'd like to see some more translucency in the windows personally. also, i'm tempted to make a comment about that woman, but if she's ur wife i'll be in deep doodoo, so i'll stay quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Don't worry it's not my wife-in fact, she told me to change the girl because her top is unfashionable!? She's only there because I was having trouble with scale. I plan to take photos of us when the sun shines again. Small update............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Homeless Guy Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 the lower left corner of the roof worries me. the detail can be built, but i think the expense of fabricating a 2 curve piece of wood in that fashion will be considerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 I haven't done any drawings at all apart from loose floor plans and a perspective sketch. If I ever get to the detailed drawing stage, that's when I'll worry about money and it'll turn into a 7m square, facing brick 2 bedroom villa. Thanks though-it's those kind of comments I'm after.

Andrew Schroeder Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I love that wood material. Nice job on the hedges too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKitts Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I agree the hedges do look good..... but the shadow to the left of them bothers me. Is that being cast by the hedges or is that from another object and I'm not reading properly. If it is from the hedges I would assume it wouldn't be such a straight edged shadow....

IC Posted May 19, 2005 Author Share Posted May 19, 2005 Hah! I've been rumbled. The hedge is done with Front Projection Mapping so it's just a box roughly shaped to suit the background photo. I've roughened the edges of the hedge in post but not it's shadow. Well spotted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maurocar Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Hi Ian, What material did you use for that glass? It's fantastic!!!! Nice design keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 Thanks Mauro The glass is my standard material I've settled on after loads of experimentation. It's a LightWave surface so it probably wouldn't be much use to you to describe it or post it. The main thing is an incidence angle gradient map in the reflection channel. This, combined with a large, subtle bump map gives nice, realistic reflections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
