1st attempt for exterior (HDRI)

[tejalvirkar]

Hey Guys!

I just want ur suggestions to make me improve my image as this is my 1st attempt for exterior perspective using vray HDRI.

looks pretty good. the trees are quite nice...what are they, models or images?

 

for improvements:

 

-your windows need work, is there any glass in them?

 

-the condos are getting blown out at the top.

 

-i think you need more contrast. by the looks of it, most of the illumination is coming from the hdri. your sunlight seems weak. i'd tone down the hdri and try to darken up the shadows from the sun.

 

-the grass needs work. i'd look at using a vray displacement modifier...that usually turns out really nice. right now it's really bright...too neon.

 

-the pavement is a little undefined. it seems to butt up against the bulding without a sidewalk. try to find a texture with intersection lines and all that on it.

 

-the acura on the left seems like it's jacked up in the back, it just looks unnatural to me.

 

-adding some people here and there...more towards the bulding would help bring it to life.

 

that's about it. it would be great if you could make these changes and post the revision...

another thing...try to find a good paint material for those cars. there are quite a few vray paint mats around on the internet. that would really show the hdri well.

 

-okay, last thing i promise. the hdri looks really bland. i can't see any clouds or anything...
