Nice, well done. Can't really pick any faults. Looks like you got a really nice AA setting. What did you use?

[choppir]

Thanks!

AA - Adaptive DMC -> Max = 1, Min = 8, Threshold = 0.01

[rikky]

Did you use a filter or just left it as standard DMC?

[choppir]

Hi Rikki,

No filter. Just standard.
It took 1h26 to render.... :D

[glass.use]

very nice job by choppir! =)
by the way your tree looks great. ist VB(alpha) or low poly

[Tong]

leafs?

[Rich_Art]

very nice render. Thumbs up.

Peace,
Rich_Art. :wink:

[choppir]

thanks guys!

Tree is a pic with alpha.
The leaves on the ground is modelled up with a leave texture+alpha channel. 8)

[edub]

very nice image.

Are you using physical sun+sky? what are your GI settings?

:)

[choppir]

thanks edum!

Physical sun + sky.

Gi = IM + LC on medium quality
IM = -3/-1, Hem 50, Iterp S 30
LC = 1000

Renderend with exponential Colour mapping... :D

[marshalartist]

Looks very natural - well done :D

[sadece]

how about the cam settings? iso,ss,f ?

[leed]

looks good, nice textures, could up the colour a bit in the spot colour floor tiles,

have you tried the camera from eye level?
think the leaves are great, but do you have some autumnal trees for the background?

also the glass looks a bit flat on the left...perhaps get something to reflect in it a bit...

nice though...

[STRAT]

nicey, but a fair few gi artifacts in there.

[choppir]

thanks guys.

Strat, i don't see any artifacts. Where do c that Strat?
Maybe you are talking about where the round wall and the roof connect?
That is lead made with a bit of AO ... 8)

[scanmead]

Really nice design for the addition, and the use of the leaf clutter is a nice touch!

[STRAT]

Maybe you are talking about where the round wall and the roof connect?
That is lead made with a bit of AO ... 8)

that must be it. it's quite a mucky connection.

[Tong]

choppir i think some birds on ground will give some sweetness to image.

here is free models

awesome!!!!! Thanks Tong!!! :D :D :D :D

[cin]

great image!
would still like to know your physical camera settings if your willing to share... thnx!!

[STRAT]

where did he say he used a physical camera? and whether he did or not, the settings aren't relevant without knowing his general lighting rig settings, which is the important bit.

i think physical camera's are overrated. i never use them. any lighting changes i need to make are through the main lighting rig which is just as flexible, but truer than a vray camera.

[kizo]

great image!:)
very well done choppir

[choppir]

thank you kizo. :D

[tussyswat]

Choppir can you share the Leaves ?

[nycL45]

Maybe you are talking about where the round wall and the roof connect?

that must be it. it's quite a mucky connection.

The mucky bit is flashing likely made with easily worked lead-coated copper (typically a dull gray finish) to wrap around the curved surface and follow the pitched roof. That is a difficult waterproofing job. They cut a channel in the curved wall for a "reglet" and stick the edge of the l-c copper into the channel and inject sealant flush with the wall. I will not bore you with the rest.

Up close there should be surface irregularities from handling the flashing and some color variations. Otherwise, this is what I would expect to see this kind of flashing detail.

Hey! Wake up out there! This is important stuff! Sheez. :twisted: :wink:

[choppir]

Hi tussyswat,

Here is the leaves I used:(just use photoshop to make them different colours... :D )

[Tong]

Mix Color and Texture in c4d material flexible, one texture many color leaves

[choppir]

wow, did not know that. cheers tong!

[zoppo]

beautiful. great sense for details and a nice overall mood with all the shadows.

would be interesting to see the impact of e.g. synclanczos filtering on both the render time and the details of the ground texture.

[machmirdenlukas]

nice render!

[choppir]

thanks :oops:
