Bring it on CRITIQUES

[dazz_downunder]

Hi all,

 

Give it to me straight I need some professional advice. Also does anyone know anything about the new "RPC Composer" does it allow you too work in 3D or only 2D pics ? Archvision I think it is.

 

thanks ahead

Most of the modeling looks real good, a couple items I noticed right off:

 

Modeling:

- The front steps seem to have real tall risers, at least the first one.

- The mullions/muttins/grids in the windows are of unusual design, four panes?

- Siding material looks like it goes straight to the ground with no separation.

 

Materials:

- Unusual color for this style house, but that is subjective.

- The roof looks like a solid membrane instead of shingles, could be lighting.

 

Lighting:

- The scene is too dark to see a lot so some of my comments may be in error.

- The light you do have is like a spotlight on the entry with a hot spot there.

 

Like I said the modeling looks good and it is clean, now you can tweek the lighting and texturing and place it in some kind of scene/backdrop. That is my two cents, nice work!

hey russ,

 

thanks mate.....

 

The windows are double hung some are 1800 wide so dual DH is needed. You are right though some of the windows are incorrect.

 

The roof is supposed to be colorbond (grey of some kind) but im having trouble getting it right. When I bring it over from my modeller in DXF I cant seem to get the mapping correct....it goes one way I have tryed differant settings but still no change. Im missing something.

 

Good point on the hot spot.....I'll tune that one up no prob.

 

Not sure what you mean by "the siding going all the way donw without separation" ? It is painted render over brickwork Im not sure what you mean....maybe subfloor separation ?

 

Risers to the stairs are way off thankyou

 

Thanks for the advice its very much appreciated

Also does anyone know anything about the new "RPC Composer" does it allow you too work in 3D or only 2D pics ? Archvision I think it is.

 

You import a 2D pic and use Composer to drop, rotate, scale the RPCs onto your image and then render out the result to either a flat image or into Photoshop with individual layers for each RPC element, including the shadows for each.

thanks jeff,

 

I did a bit if reading up......wish they would make a plug-in for C4D for RPC's in general. I emailed them but there is no talk of doing it in the near future apparently

 

I made some changes Russ...also colours. The designer Im doing this for is over seas for 3 weeks im only going by what he suggested...... actually Russel I kinda liked the strong dark color on the redered brickwork. Still it a personal thing I guess.

 

Comments please

Lighting and roof look much better. Sometimes roofing on sloped roofs takes some tweaking with the UV coordinates. Since it is paint over brick, the comment about the siding going to the ground is not applicable. I thought it was and EIFS (like Dry-Vit) system where you normally terminate around 6" from the ground and you see some foundation. One item about painting brick, it is a one way street, once you do it, you can't go back, removing the paint removes the hard glazed surface of the masonry that protects it, it deteriorates after that. The color issue, is like I said, subjective, color preferences are kind of regional and in contries like mexico you find real bright colors a lot. The double hung windows look like a picture window with a grid in them, if you widened the vertical center piece where the two units are mulled together, I think it would look more realistic. Just observations, it is looking good!
