Interesting little projet

[heni30]

Doing an entourage project.

 

Image 1 - Architect tries to save a couple of bucks by doing renderings in-house.

Image 2 - Chinese to the rescue (overnight) - same exact model

Image 3 - My job - to add entourage - waiting for approval to fine tune, add shadows, etc.

Well, you won me over with the girl on the forefront, 'cause she has a good sense of fashion...

You posted it twice so I guess you’re looking for some feedback. My first impression is that even though I like the girl in the 3rd image the 2nd image is more appealing and seems to be much more developed than the others. The first image is just too bright and the lighting is too even, the 2nd and 3rd are much better in that respect but the shadows are still not dark enough.

[heni30]

double post was a mistake.

 

I was not looking for feedback on the renderings but rather I was looking for comments about architects doing their renderings in-house. Is good enough, good enough? To me it seems like the professional result is way superior to the architect rendering. And in this case it seems like the architect agrees since he is paying for a complete re-do of 11 renderings.

I see, well obviously the Architect's rendering is awful and should never be shown to a client. Yours and the Chinese renderings are much better than the first, the only difference being the entourage. I know Architects like to play at being a master at everything but that's not usually true, good renderings don't just happen you have to know something about what your doing.

So far for now, chinese is a winner, even you have a sweet lady...

OT:

Who needs all these humans in renders? They, always, looked very ugly to me...

too many people, feels crowded.

i pick the chinese version

I don't think either are very good - I would think a lot of architecture firms are capable of better than those anyway.

 

To answer your question, I don't think there's any question as to whether the typical in-house rendering will be superior to a professional arch viz studio image. It comes down to expectations really. If the client's expectations are low, whether through their naivety of what could be done, or through what they've paid, the likes of an in-house Artlantis render, or even a Sketchup model could be sufficient. It's up to the designer's ability to identify this and manage them accordingly.

 

For the record, lose the girl at the front. Too distracting!

[heni30]

Here's a frontal view. The architect's rendering was woefully lacking.

 

 

Designer orchestrated people choice and placement very precisely. The first rendering did get some people pulled out...........but not foreground girl.

 

Not a final - shadow in foreground will have outline that looks more like buildings.

Is it not too much overbright?

Just my 2cents...
