Tim Nelson Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Hey guys, Here's a project i'm working on. Just wanted to get some of your comments to see what I could do better. thanks, tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
id_ivan Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 I feel the blue sky was too strong, and it should gave your scene bluish ambience. With the sun that strong i believe the sky will filled whith bluish-white gradient, and a bit white cloud. another things is give the people reflection to your glass. The rest is great. I really like your street, is that postworked or a real bitmap for material? hey get rid off the short pants there regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelfoZ Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 another thing .. the shadows of the first plane and the rest of the shadows r in the same direction ? saludos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Ryan Rubio Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 the general lighting doesnt fit the background image as ivan has mentioned.. also the people seem out of place, they look pasted rather than part of the scene. evertything else seems good.

Tim Nelson Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 thanks for comments everyone. i've been too busy to reply to all of them. does anyone know a source for good people? i guess i could go out and take my own if i have too. also, what adjustments to the sky do you think would match the scene better?

id_ivan Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Tim, Increase the brightness of your sky, and for people I've just found it this noon. The link has average 12 Mb Tiff images with nice people sets, i think VERY suitable for such architecture image.. http://www.mcarthurglen.com/pressroom_gallery.cfm Note: I haven't download any of Tiff files (run dial up in home ) so I dont know the quality, but from the thumbs (avg. 50 Kb .jpeg) it looks promising. Have a nice cropp . If anyone has download these stuff, would be very nice to share the JPEG here, just the people . Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Nelson Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 Hey Randy, good to hear from you. You actually aren't from from me at all. I'm off of 32nd street and Osborne. We'll have to get together for lunch soon. There might be a bigger job coming my way that I could use your help with modeling on. Not sure yet though. Most of my trees are actually custom made just from shooting digitals locally. The flower group by the Yoko wall is a picture I took a couple days ago at the chinese cultural center. They have some good stuff over there, but in the heat a lot of the plants arent looking so good. I like your renderings. Looks like the type of building you would see around here. I think I probably use the same technique you do on stripes & handicap stuff. One thing that I found usefull is the make the striping materials self illuminating. That way you don't even have to worry about shadows or getting the light levels right. It gives it that nice clean/ bright look that you see on freshly paved roads but not fake either. Talk to you later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Nelson Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 thanks for the tip. i downloaded one of the files and it will probably work great once I get to do some work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beowulf Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 dump that red car, its right in the center of everything and i end up looking at that instead of your building. also the shadows of the trees in the foreground are way too sharp to be realistic, you prob would be safer just to remove those shadows altogether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roark3d Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 hey guys im new to archie viz, and really wanted to know, how do u get those people/cars in there? are the alpha maps, photoshop plugin, max plugins, 3d meshes? pls enlighten me thx in advance and tim, it looks neat, good job, put up a nice white puffy cloudy sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Nelson Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 The cars are from Archvision.com They are a bit pricey but can save you so much time in your work. You can also get people, landscape & other objects there to. So how you get it to work is to use their plug-in with VIZ or MAX to place these objects. Whats nice is that you can use them with any view. I prefer to take digital pictures of my landscape locally and then add into photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Hi, Nice start. With the close foliage in both the left and right corners, and the shadow all the way along the bottom, the image has a very closed, almost tunnel, feel to it. Hope you don't mind me butchering it. Just an idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Nelson Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 thanks for the tips Kid. I'm working on some more revisions today, so i will post another image soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest Burden III Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I completely agree with the point about the tree branches and shadows--I would have said it but didn't get around to it yet--but for balancing the picture I would say to remove the opposite tree and shadow--that will keep the eye from traveling along the pavement to the lower left, right out of the frame. And maybe front/center isn't the best place for a RED car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Nelson Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 ok ok, i didn't get to use everyone's comments but i do think this is an improvement. I only partially agree about the trees in the top corners. My intention is to frame the shot with them. But i do agree that maybe it was too much, also with the shadows. So i took it down a notch. Switched the red car with the black - good idea. I think this sky compliments the scene much better too. Plus my client is very happy, so that makes me happy of course. Look for the interior rendering to come soon. That one might be a little more of a challenge because I haven't figured out how get quality renderings quickly on viz4. Thank you everyone for your comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbr Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I like it. I think the car swith made a big difference. The sky, too - less drama. I like the trees in the foreground. The one on the left almost seems to be swaying (cool, if that was intended). I don't care for the guy with the blue shirt - looks washed out. Where did you get those cars? I've got a 300ZX TT and would love to have a model of one! I'd suggest some transparency in the windows, but it's pretty common to have the windows tinted. Nice work.
