Image Comments

Hi everyone,

I posted four images of industrial buildings that I have done. I was wondering if you guys can comment on them and inform me on what I need to work on and how much do you think a developer or architect would pay for something like this. Let me give you some background on the images. I used autocad to model and basic 3d max scanline to render these images. The lighting was done with one skylight and some omnis. I know I need to work on the grass. I can't find a good map for that. The average time for these image from start to finish was about 24 hours and 5 hours to render. Do you think that is too much time to create something like this? Also I work in near the Chicago land area. I would rely appreciate you comments thanks.

I think a few of the images are a little to saturated, and the second image needs a different sky the one you've got is to dark for the scene. Over all these are good images but I wasen't clear on how long it took you to do each image, were you saying you did all 4 in 24 hrs, or it took you 24 hrs to do each one?

Thanks for the feedback on the renderings. I understand why you don’t want to comment on the pricing, but I was thinking about 1000-1500(US) for these rendering. Do you think that is too low or too high? I work for an architect right now and I’m an instructor at an art school teaching CAD and 3 Max to interior designers. I have always wanted to have my own business. I have been only working in this line for about 2 years now and I want to go on my own. I’m just hesitant right now because I don’t know how profitable this arch viz line is. If it is possible to make over 80k per year freelancing or just going around town knocking on doors to get business I would rely go for it. But for now I am trying to get as much info about the Chicago market as possible before I think about leaving or going part time. Any comments on the field would also be helpful. Thank for the remarks on the renderings.

Which took you longer the modeling or the Max lighting and material setup? Your pricing looks good, just remember don't under sell your work even if it means you loose come clients.

The materials are not to bad because I only apply colors. The lighting does take a little longer because I exclude and include objects from lights, and the landscaping takes some time as well.
