Hi Guys,

 

I am creating this in my own time with a few reference images. Just a bit of fun. Problem is i am getting a bit stuck, I need to be pointed in the right direction on where to go next, what do people feel is needed or is missing.

 

I plan to do a night time version once I get this done to a certain stage.

 

Cheers for the comments

I agree with Robert's comments. I think on thing that might help to set this image off is a well placed/composed person (or people) in the scene.

I agree about the glass reflections. Good use of reflections adds a very important layer of detail and depth to a render.

 

It looks great so far - good work!

So have played around with it a bit, adding dirt under the beams and lead coping. Also been playing with reflections, i think what i have it reflecting is proably a bittoo bright so need to tone it dow.

 

Forgot to render it with all the trees in so thats why it looks a bit different. have tweaked the pool and the paving. i think i need to put some chairs and a table infront of house and pool. Then i need to work on some foreground planting. and trya nd gain some depth of field with it. then i will work on the back ground.

Hi, surprising your work, i took some time on this, but i have never achieved a lighting as this scene, if nop is too much to ask, i could possibly give guidance on it?
