Description:

Hello there artists. It's been a while since I last posted something here.

Here's my actual work in progress. The intent of this still is to create an overcast atmosphere, later on I'll add also a nocturnal and sunny scene.

 

Any critique that could better this scene is more that welcome.

The lefmost tree does not seem right to me. Another type of weeping willow perhaps...

The spiked grassy green is too monotonous?

The brick pavement could benefit the image inmensely if you use the FloorGenerator and Multitexture: http://www.cg-source.com/floorgenerator.php

 

That way you could randomly twist or upturn the bricks and it would add a lot I think.

Lightning and composition both contribute to very flat appear. Change that first.

Hello dear archViz artists. Thank you so much for your comments. I've tried to consider your point-outs in this other render here. I've added the sun to add more depth to the image and added more detail to the shot like falling leaves and other types of grass. I think I'm going to change entirely the sidewalks.

 

Anyway, here's the way it turned out at the moment.

Nice with the new grass and the addition of Sun however, both lighting conditions are both real and true to life.

Nature at times do monotonous compositions of light, such as an overcast sky on certain geometry. One artist may prefer to capture those moments such as they present themselves. Some other artists prefer to dramatize everything, that's their choice, but to pretend that all be as such is too far fetched and not true to life...

 

Good job, I love the scene from the onset, lighting specially.

Thank you very much for your comment Ismael. It means a lot to me. I agree with you on the various styles of artists; indeed they can vary a lot and we don't always need to follow a certain pattern. I'm thinking about adding even more details in order for the still to be more realistic but I'll think about that some more.

And also a night scene:

[Janwalli]

nice progress on this scene, I like the night version a lot. Also the tree in the foreground is very nice. But I think you have to do something about the windows. They are very prominent from this pov, but empty and lifeless.

Also I would consider to cut some pixel away on the bottom of the picture.

I like the updated day version. Where did you get that cherry blossom tree (I assume this is what it is) from?

[RyderSK]

I agree with Janwalli. You improved the lighting considerably ! Now it has a punch. The windows are lonely though, I woudn't bother modelling, you'll achieve better result by inserting an images to them in PS.

 

I also agree with suggestion to cut low corner. Either improve the modelling in foreground,or cut from it, and show more of the sky. You will end up with unusual square composition but don;t fear it, it can be interesting ;- )

 

Good luck !
