BC Contest (House Exterior View)

This is my WIP thread for CG Cookie Architecture Competition.


Changed the building structure.

Update 2:


Update 3:


Any Critique and Comments are Welcome.

I was just browsing through, and saw this topic. The grass looks really neat! As for the house, imo maybe you could make it a bit more colorful with warm colors, or take the current render all the way and texture the other walls with brick, metal or suchlike textures with shades of grey.

Can you tell me where you got the HDR image for lighting?

Anyway, it looks very neat. :slight_smile:

Cheers!

The lighting is off.

The building is lit from the right front while it appears the trees are lit from the left front.
All the while the background image would be lighting the scene from the rear.
If the background is an HDRI You can rotate it around so that the bright spot in the clouds appears to light the trees since they are static.
Then bring the sun lamp around to the left front as well and increase the size so it softens the shadows to better suit a cloudy day.

Good luck in the comp.

@ @The_Sun
HDRI image i used is from “The Architecture Academy Starter Pack”

@ @The_Sun Thank you for Your suggestions. object have just diffuse material, that’s why not increased the HDRI & Sun strength.

UPDATE 4: (Quick Render Test)


Any Feedback?

looking better but I would still rotate the HDRI counter clockwise so that the bright band in the clouds is in line with the sun lamp.

Update 5:
Changed the Color and added some leakage to the building


Feedback and critique are welcome.
