Help improving exterior scene

[drvox]

Hi all,

 

I wonder if there are any suggestions to improve those images.

I'm using:

- hdri in environment and reflection/refraction slots

- vray sphere light stored with irr map

- direct light to get some shadows

- rendering with adapt subdivs, irr map and light cache.

 

Thanks a lot,

 

King Regards

Hard to say much since I dont know what your settings for materials and lights are.

 

But normaly if I'd do a picture like those I'd use a directlight (now a days I use vraysun ...) onley or just a HDRI (HDRI f I want lotts of reflections and I have time to sitt around for the lonng renders) not both.

 

And if I whas you I'd skipp the Vray sphere. Better to fill out with more enviroment light instead or a Vray plane in each window if it's to dark inside.

 

Decent Vray glas mat settings = refract/reflect colour pure withe IOR just below 1,6 and ad some map to the difuse like streaks or somthin

 

Thats about what I can say right now not knowing what your aming at.'

 

Edit* I also see allot of tiling textures try to use seamless and if I where you I'd look into Vray displacement for the grass, and I'm not sure about the HDR your using. Btw there is a great tutorial on the net about Vray archi and HDR renderings check it out.

Yep, the devil lies in the details....

I think if you want to make an image of an architecture like this (very clean) with no further details, u should make your lighting more dramatic.

Maybe u could make a dusk light, or sunset.

The background u´re using is not matching your lighting.
