Dave Oliver Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) This is a very old house in france someone is renovating into a vacation home. I started with an hdri map and a vray light for the sun very low on the horizon. when switching to gamma mode, sometimes i find it to be a little too 'greyish' especially on interiors. for interiors i usually use color mapping because of the higher contrast. but i was thinking, is there a way i could get just 'half gamma' so it does not lose as much contrast. so finally i just set the gamma value to 1.6 instead of 2.2 and that is kind of working. there is a lot of specularity right now, but i plan to add trees to cast a shadow right across the house, this will make the areas getting direct light really pop out. still had to add a little contrast in photoshop, i will try bumping up the lights on max to see if this helps edit - progress: Edited May 24, 2009 by dave5264 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mi75 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 It looks good. I love the shadows and natural looking planting, look forward to seeing the final image. Mart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzandra Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I like it! looks very natural. if you are adding the landscape in photoshop or similar, try to match the green color a little more with the environment red/purple ilumination... I think trees and bushes could reflect a little more of the surroundings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Oliver Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 finally actually created an animation of this. i was trying some new things, so the animation isn't quite perfect, but it's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevitGary Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 How did you get the sun to hit opposite sides of the house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
