craig.t Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hi All, this is my first serious bash at a simple exterior image using Max 9 + Vray. It was modelled in SketchUp and then exported into max. for the final render. I have been messing with it for ages so decided to put it up here for your review and hopefully some comments to help me improve it. Many thanks in advance Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairlane62 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Nice Job. Only things I noticed are the lack of variation on the plants in front of the house, and the walls are too smooth. If stucco walls, should have some color variation as well. Other than that, looks good. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Bix Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 The model looks great, i'd say you just need to do a bit more work on the textures. Add some bump to the walls and brick. Maybe add a little reflection to the windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnypoland Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 well done it looks great. how did you put in the trees etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig.t Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thanks for the feedback, i'll try and tweak the render and brick textures when i get 5, Jonny the trees were added in photoshop and the flowers and hedge were in the model and rendered out Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 hi craig, long time no see nice pic, only i'd watch the radiosity levels - it all looks too green. and as mentioned, take a closer look at your texturing. it's all very CG and toystoryish, and you'd see a nice sharp defined roof tile in reality too. from this distance they might be worth an arrayed model instead of a texture. also, what your contrasts. it's looking a tad flat, especially with that nice blue/cloud backround looking dulled out.

THEPRAYINGMANTIS Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 The image needs a little tweaking perhaps more varied colourful vegetation and try to breakup the repetition. Otherwise it's looking good. Architectural though, the architect should be fired/deported/lynched. Its not a good idea to have the stucco go all the way down to grade at least not in temperate environments. Introduce a 3' high stone/brick base with a 3" precast conc. ledge all the way around the house. Add a circular vent or window on the gable face to fillup the empty space.

Add a circular vent or window on the gable face to fillup the empty space. unfortunately those comments wont stand much in the UK. the design Craig has drawn is a normal common scheme over here. you usually add a 2 or 3 brick course off the floor before the render for the damp proof course, which he's done. and again, a blank gable wall is also common place in housing schemes such as this (and if anything, it almost certainly wouldn't be circular) it's interesting to hear the differences different countries use in design schemes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig.t Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 Hi Strat, thanks for the comments i'll play around with it when i have time, THEPRAYINGMANTIS Unfortunatley exactly as strat has said it's a typical housing developer house type.

THEPRAYINGMANTIS Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I speak from experience guys. I don't just draw/render pretty pictures, I actually design houses. If I were to design a house to be situated in the UK with its high annual precipitation rate, I would provide a masonry base to protect the stucco from moisture damage. Now, if this house were to be situated in a location with low annual precipitation rates like Aruba or the Arabian Desert then that’s a different story.

Cheers which is what he's done a 2-3 layer of bricks off the ground before the stucco is standard procedure in the uk i assure you. it's all thats needed and required. we dont suffer problems you seem to indicate.
