MrCAD Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 nice render matt especially that you are new.. The overall scene looks a bit too dark..and the glass effects need some improvements..together..need to do better road texturing too. I think you should try and change you sun position and check..prolly you can get a better litup render. cheers Meher http://www.mr-cad.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedrux Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hi, Some areas of the rendering are really good. The weak areas are the road and the glass. The road looks flat and the glass looks like a mirror. Both these 2 areas are probably the most tricky in this type of rendering. You need a good mix map with overlay for the road and a more realistic glass of which there are so many ways. unless you want a mirror, look at glass on real buildings. When you look perpendicular to it, you see through it. Full replections only apear when looking at a larger angle. Sort these and it will look great.

Andy Park Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hi, Very good for a first. As above. these areas are very difficult and you can trawl through tons of tutorial on realistic glass. A good starting point is to use the A&D material and set it to glass, then tweak from there. one thing that will help.. your glass will reflect, give it something to reflect, use a plane with with a photo mapped to it. road materials are tricky, if you want something quick use a mix map with a few cellulars for bump. if you want something more realistic. use texporter (free plugin) and then create a material in for the whole surface photoshop. good luck.

ama Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Thank you very much for your critiques! I really appreciate them, they are spot on and I agree, fixing the road and the glass would add a lot more realism + it is a bit dark...I did a curves adjustment so now the darks stand out. Thanks again guys! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
