padre.ayuso Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 What I can see is that the sun is hitting the front of the building and thus washing it out a lot. Depending on the effect you want to create, you might want to put the sun towards the side of the building, still have some sunlight hit it but not so strong. I have started putting a skyportal on the other side of the sun hitting the building to add some light to the building and seems to work fine. Then photoshop to create a more realistic scene. U want to put some reflection on the windows so you would need to put something behind your camera for it to reflect. Otherwise, the rendering in itself is not bad, I just would do the above to give it a different feeling. Oh, and add some grunge (in the bump slot) to the wall to make it more real.

Spacelord Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hi Stan, Its a really contrasty image, I find your loosing some of the details, like the front door. The wall on the left with the brown render, its hard to define the corner. The bushes in the middle I'd mirror some of them and randomly scale them slightly, to try and stop them looking like clones. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris MacDonald Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Far too much contrast & saturation. Which render engine are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Buckley Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 the people on the balcony are stood in a shadow that doesn't exist? surely the sun is hitting them directly based on the wall behind them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Zaslavsky Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 hey guys, thanks for the feedback. the clients also came back with their comments - so see enclosed below the update to the image i'm using mental ray as renderer, the sky is brought in from PS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris MacDonald Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Still far too much saturation & contrast! Are you using a mental ray sun & sky setup, and gamma 2.2 workflow? Those people photoshopped in look pretty bad, plus their shadows don't match the lighting in the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Zaslavsky Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 hey Macker, totally agree about the people - i havent been able to find any in my library that match the lighting .. will keep looking i'm using mental ray sun and sky, gamma 2.2 workflow the image is rendered out with psd manager and then the sky is brought in photoshop .. - then i apply image effects there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hunt Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 hope you dont mind but I had a quick play in Photoshop, Basically did a levels , raised the mid and highlights. A Selective colour and sucked some black out of the blues and Cyans The people are also too big, see mark up for a suggested height. Are you working on a very bright monitor? jhv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
