[radiance]

My latest architectural project,
modelled in blender 2.42
and rendered with Indigo 0.6test1

Everything from and including the first floor up is a render (including the physical sky...

Really nice work and render is too good. The sunlight is too realistic but the round shape of the building showing the face of the mesh i thing ( may b i'm wrong ) u must consider to solve it.. Good i rare saw...

[Jobbe]

Wow, this is one realistic image. The only crit I can offer would be the same as marlopax's. Were you planning to have those flat parts, or is this a mistake?

[reywillow]

Impressively well done!
How did you get to align the photograph's point of view and the blender camera?

[radiance]

those flat parts were drawn in the building plans,
so i had to model them that way...

reywillow -> just manually, set the photo as a background image in the camera view, match the blender lens and position the camera 'more or less' correct with the eye... (helps if you view in wireframe)

I see, then it'S perfect. 5 Stars. :)

[xilemina]

yeah, really a cool rendering. is it difficult to use indigo? comparing to yafray for example? ist slow or fast? (10 or 20 houres :)?)

[radiance]

xilemina -> read my post here on starting with indigo:

Well done. This is a pretty darn good rendering. The building fits perfectly into the surroundings. :)

It was only on my second look just now, that I noticed that on the round part, there were some polygonal artifacts - not smooth surface.

Nice, just love it! 5*, rock on!

[alessandro]

Wonderful image!
A perfect use of global illumination available in Indigo. Also the matching between photograph and rendered part is perfect.

Five stars, no doubt!

There is a pole/post infront pof the car in the foreground that looks like it got cut off when you added the rendered image into the picture that really looks out of place and obviously cut off. Should try and fix that some.

Other than that, beautifully rendered image. Great job.

[Felix_Kütt]

some trees as-well

[Blenderist]

The edges of the trees look badly cut.

Other than that - great!

[solartic]

my crits have peen pointed out by marlopax's and blenderist already

would u mind showing a wire

[basse]

the head gardener of those trees has to be shot :)

[enricoceric]

Hey Radiance, anothere great one. Have some work on the top of trees to get it perfect.

[Crouch]

There are some minor mistakes in it, but it's looking really good. 4 stars from me.
Points that show it's cg composited on a real picture with the most obvious first:
- The pole mentioned by BgDM
- The trees, especially the one on the right
- The vertical edge just above and to the left of the sign saying "BACCH.S" (just to the left of the parking sign)
- The vertical line of dirt above the gate on the right isn't continued upward

But this is a render you can be very proud of.

[vliegtuig]

Beautifully composited.
5!

I love critiquing things I could never come close to achieving. with that out of the way, some gentle, feather-masked gaussian blur in the window spaces would help the noise a LOT. you could even try the noise reduction tool in photoshop, or a 1 pixel "median" filter.

5 stars regardless, I know Indigo is noisy unless your render >100 hours.

I wish I was standing on that balcony

[reaper]

Was this for a commercial application or fun? What was your schedule/deliverables like for this project? Nice work.

[radiance]

this was a commercial project in a short time frame (2 days incl render),
that's why it's not 'perfect' ;-)

Looks great, couple of comments though ...

1. looking at the existing first floor you can see multiple levels or sizes of noise. You might try to add some perlin noise or clouds to the surface. I would add at least 2 layers at different densities to give a good result.

2. desaturate the building just a little, not much. its a little to bright, not dull enough.

3. just like the streak of dirt under the round window above the gate, you might add some streaks under each of the window, and again just a little not a lot. You dont want to overpower the surface just make it more real looking.

4. going back to what I said before in number 2, you might add some, just a little, saturation to the sky. It is a bit to gray.

Hope this helps, not hinders.

[sonix]

Nice mate, except for the trees where they overlap onto the buildings.
There's also a lack of blue in the rendered shadows compared to the photo section.

[panzi]

Are you from america or from britain? Because my translator (http://www.dict.cc/?s=first%20floor) says:
first floor [Am.] Erdgeschoss
first floor [Br.] erster Stock

Which is a bit contradictory. ;)

[scabootssca]

looks nice but do you care to show a before picture? of before the render is added.

[radiance]

[Michael_R.]

wow, awesome project :)
I especially like the nearly perfect transition between the photo and the rendered part :)
also 5stars

Edit:
where can I give 5stars?? :D

Edit: ok, got it^^

[julianlubenov]

Great image !! I have a question. Did you made the cars ? If not please tell me where I can find free car models for commercial use ? :)

[Michael_R.]

aren´t the cars just the picture which is put in front of the model??

[delic]

how much render time for this image ?

really nice !

[simbadinuk]

Thats pretty good that, i like the way it merges perfectly into the photo:D

A belgian New Zealander! Wicked!
Then you know where I'm from.
