Assisted Living Units

Here is a project that I am currently working on. Building is modeled using VIZ 4 and rendered using VrayFree. Any comments would be helpful. Or if someone has a dark gray shingle that does not tile as bad as the one that I have.

 

Thanks in advance.

Josh, it looks great! Except for the roof of course. I think you should try playing around with a 'tiles' map for your roof and see what you can come up with. I think you should be able to pretty accurately imitate an asphalt shingle material using that, and easily get rid of the tiling problem.

 

Other than that, I think you could improve the glass a little by giving it something to reflect other than a solid background. And maybe not so much color in the glass.

 

Good work though - it looks really detailed.

One thing that I have used for shingles is a blend material, using a black and white image of the "lines" of the shingles for the mask between the two blend materials. Then for the "shingle" material, just use a cellular map with the color of the granules in the shingle, In this case, grey, and use a darkish grey/black color for the second material, where the "shadows" would be.

Chad,

That sounds like a good idea. Do you happen to an example of that or a screen shot of the settings?

[Chad Warner]

Sure...here you go. Hope it makes sense

That is where I got my roof texture. I did do a little work in Photoshop, but not enough to even the color out obviously.

Here is update on the Living Units. I still need to add some people and tree on the left is a little thicker than I anticipated.

 

So any suggestions that you may have in composition or image quality would be appreciated.
