Hi guys,

 

I'm finishing this today, reflection, refraction, trees, people and bling will follow later.

I wanted to post it already to check if color tone and curves are ok.

 

The red wood on the first floor should match the reference picture below, but I can't figure out how that color behaves in the sun. Looks weird & washed out on my render, no?

Tweak and adjust within photoshop post rendering.

Thanks Neil, I'm doing just that. :-)

Some specific critics needed though...

Well , just the color of your wood in the shadow zone is a little bit washed out in comparison to the reference. Did you try to give this wood material a fresnel reflection with IOR value about 1,8. By the way what render are you using Vray? RK

[Tom Hamelrijckx]

Thanks Ralf, wil try that

This is where I'm at aftyer today's work, still not convincing...

Made some postwork experiment. Yuor material lacks the red value in the reflection color box. You probably make it reflect a gray value, which is not fisically correct. Try it out. RK

I'm at this stage now. Still doesn't look nifty enough for me.

Any thoughts?

That's looking waaaay better. Cheers m8

What I see is the brick wall in front of the scene is stronger in color (darker and more saturated) than the redwood. This could make the wood look dull in comparison, even if it is the right color by itself. Maybe getting closer so there isn't so much brick would help.

soften your shadows but the composition is nice..
