First Post - Business Education Centre

[CarlAhearne]

Hi Guys and Girls,

 

This is my first actual posting of an image onto the forum; I've been here for ages, but never really been ready to post. I've not been doing visualisations for very long, so I'm not very well practiced... Anyway, I've been working on a Business Education Centre for a university here in the UK, and this is what I've got so far...

 

I know it's far from perfect; I wanted to spend a lot longer on the textures / materials etc, but time ran out.. I'm not going for photoreal; I know it's a long way off that at the moment. To be honest, I'd just like to know what you guys think of the composition etc, and generally how the image feels.

 

I'm hoping I get some time to put some furniture / trees / people, so hopefully more will follow...

 

Go easy, but be honest. Cheers

 

Carl

i'd love to see it without that horrible DOF.

Not a problem; that was just my first experiment with using Z Depth in Photoshop....

 

As requested, without the Lens Blur....

The modeling looks pretty good, but major texture issues on the metal panel, asphalt, sidewalk, grass and whatever that green wall is. Your two worst problems though are the glass and sun position. You have to get rid of that graining in the glass - whether its modeling issues, aliasing, or textures I have no idea. I would also recommend bringing the sun around so that in comes from the left across the fascade. It will add a lot of depth to your image with better shadows.
