postite Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Studio/Institution: CanevasGenre: Residential ExteriorSoftware: 3ds max, MentalRay, PSWebsite: http://www.canevas.be/Description: Here is a new project. They will destroy a block of old houses to create a new street. Shops in the ground floor. Architects give no information about how the houses and shops look like. They want to see bar, people, trees,... I tried to create some kind of "and of day" mood. Here are my first img. C&C welcome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sketchrender Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Stephane I am presuming you have no libraries of people and trees benches and street lights. Get yourself on the Evermotion if you have money and get some libraries. If your on max 2011 or the old one and you have the extension plugin for sketchup. If money is a problem, go to 3d warehouse and download some libraries of benches ect. bring them in and make it busy. If you start making decision for the Architect , it will either scare him to get the finger out and do something or he will let you design it to a point where he feels there is enough done. Sometimes a car needs a push to get it going if you know what I mean. phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postite Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hi Phil, thx for quick reply. I started this WIP thread this afternoon so I really hope to have something better at the end. I can access some libraries and also have my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I would recommend to add some more details to the model. For example Glass doesn't really float. There will be a mullion system holding it in place. In these glass walls, there will be doors to enter the shops. What are the columns for?

postite Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 The problem is that this team of architects don't work on this part of the project (architecture of shops and houses), so I can't add too much details. I begin PS work this morning to add life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinsley Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Its getting better and better... some texture on the buildings would help it a lot... and the sky needs to be fixed to match the time of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Great Progress Postite. AS Jinsley mentioned, some texture would help and the sky should be improved as well. Other things to consider 1. your image needs a little more contrast. 2. Perhaps paving the floor in two patterns to add a liittle more visual interest 3. The shadows from your background image do not match the shadows from the trees or new buildings See example, I think it explains better what I mean. I really did not spend more than 5 mins. on it But I played with the curves layer and added an image from cgtextures.com [ATTACH=CONFIG]41758[/ATTACH] Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postite Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 First, thanks a lot for your help. I'm not allowed tu use textures on the buildings because it's not part of the project. Concerning the pavements, I agree but architects have another point of view I will improve contrast, sky and shadows. Post up later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postite Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Here is my final img. Hope you like it. Play with curves, adjust contrast, add reflection, light strokes, adjust background. C&C welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Matthews Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I guess I am not understanding why the designers want a rendering done of a space they haven't designed yet and then do not want any liberties take to dress up their lack of design. They should be seeing this WIP and then making quick design decisions. Great PS job but their lack of design information really shows and completely hurts their overall design. By the way, the reflections do not match what is in the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I agree with Saturn, you should point the architects to the thread. BTW, Great job with the improvements. Looks so much better now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Homeless Guy Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The final image still needs more work. The space feels like a leftover alley or side street, and that the main action is happening on the busier street in the background. You need to bring that warm intriguing activity of the background into the foreground. What criteria did they give you for creating the streetscape? In my markup that may give more ideas. Green = Larger tree canopies and tree in the scene on the left. The idea here to make the openness feel more like an intimate room. Gray = let light come through the tree canopies and create interesting patterns on the ground and building. Red = Bring the people dining more into the space, add a few umbrellas. Again, trying to make the space feel intimate. Yellow = Give the building more life in the windows. Imply that something is happening in there, and let some of the light interact with the building around the windows, and come out in some of the darker area of shadows.

postite Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Thanks all for your help! Hard time this morning. Architects didn't like the "realism" of the img and decided to ask somebody else... They will ask an inhouse architect for a sketchup render... Hope to see the wonderful result. I'll try to finish this job at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
