NOOXY Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 outdoor living area designed to capture the view surrounding the house..c&c away guys...another wip:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest Burden III Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 This just isn't working. It's mostly the lighting. But the composition is set up to block you from getting into the scene. You have built a barrier with the back of a bench, pot and plant. They say 'stay out!' Then, even if you ignore that and get in, your view of the pool is chopped up by the second bench. Move the bach seating to the right, allow us to see the pool and have some room to 'stand' in. The front bench should go completely. Then the pot and plant can be framing. The lighting--that ocean background is great, but think about the sort of sun you have when you see those bands of green and purple--strong sunlight. So where is that with your foreground? You want shade, but not weak light. I think your horizon is a little low. It should be at your eye height (camera height in 3D app). Finally, the rug needs those ripples to be scaled way down. They are good, but too big. Just a touch adds realism. The picture has great promise, you're just not done yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebad Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Hey thats really good! but the light seems Interior source !!! Maybe high deacy or low Energy or somethings... I like the plants!!! is that mixed by photoshop??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOOXY Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 wow man thanks for the detail c&c..i actually got the set up from a magazine piece i saw.."that's how i learn some of my scene compostions"... the set up is very spacious i think the camera angle just gives the view that it's closed off but it's actually a large covered patio and that are with the chiars are covered i know it's still a work in progress so i'll see what i can do to make it better and keep posting.... how would u aproach the lighting to match the background.. -will there be hard shadows? -will the sun light color or scene be a darker orange? just some help to tweak my foregrouind to match my background.

STRAT Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 much better. i think the floor looks too dimpled and wet and the pool is way too blue, but the lighting is a great improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOOXY Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 just wondering which image u all guys like better.added different textures to the scene..and looking for which one to print for my folio...c&c. ps. not rendered with full settings render time 3 mins...

leed Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I think it needs hard shadows, the light does not look diffused at all. I prefer the first floor colour. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindala Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I like the last one best, only i think the bump on the floor is much too strong, perhaps a bit shiny would look better. Als a little beveled edge on the beams might help. And the hanging lamps look a little out of place, if there's a strong ocean wind... but hey, great image!

NOOXY Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 mmmm design flaw... "And the hanging lamps look a little out of place, if there's a strong ocean wind..." didn't think bout that:D ..anyway thanks for all u all c&c ...very useful information that i'll take into consideration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island J Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 The pool......... Consider adding displacement and transparency to the pool before you put in your portfolio. It is one of the main attractions in this image yet you havent paid it much attention. Its all about the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOOXY Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 just posting an update but with area shadows instead of soft?..c&c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfienoakes Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Much better, those shadows mimic the sun much more realistically. And the materials suit the scene better..IMO.. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leed Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Yes I think that looks much better. Just a bit uncomfortable with the perspective of the hand rails on the right so I ran a few lines to test the perspective. I think it is nearly there but the horizon line of the model is a little out to the image. Have a look and see what you think. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOOXY Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 i see what u mean:p ....i've never used this technique to line up my images i just usually eye it out..must say my eyes are a lil better than i thought:D .. i still find myself strugglingt to obtian those jaw dropping images i see here and in the gallery...i've also been been on the vis-msters web site and i ws in awwwwwww.....but i know if i stick in here long enough i'll defenately be producing that kind of quality;) .... thanks for the c&c and helpful technique on lining up my backgrounds....
