Office Exteriors

[kiittea]

Hi all,

I tried to recreate this office building from photographs. I need your C & C to improve it. (esp the glass, I am not quite happy with it)

[TheAllusionist]

I think if you made the glass as spandrel glass is at the dark and grey areas (Glass with colored coating on back side that you can't see through) and then regular colored glass at the blue (or however this buildign works! LOL) you would get a better glass feel.

Good job you did there... I think that blue glass should be more transparent and the other parts should have the glass layer over the opaque layer, as Russell pointed... Generally all glass should be more reflective, even more than in reality, that is what makes the archviz interesting...

[Savak]

Indeed... if you give more reflections to that glass it will improve great!!
Other point... i think that those greens (grass) needs a litte bit of saturation...

Overall... great job!!

Good job!!

Like others said, glass should be more opaque. You can try and place a double layer of glass, and give the one behind self illumination, and the one infront can be transparent. Also the grass looks bit overexposed, and asphalt texture could do more work.

Hey all ..Thnx for suggestions. I am working on it and here's a small update.
Neha, I shall fix all that you've mentioned.

Go to "User Control Panel" from LHS on screen. On bottom left, you will find 'attachments' under 'Miscellaneous'. You can delete your older attachments according to file size from there to free up your space.

Looks nice. I think in your last image the sky looks overexposed and looks bit bluish. You can also shitchoff the lens flaire effect from the glass. You can use raytrace material for glasses

Hey here's another update. Tried an evening shot with HDR lighting. I feel that the color is too saturated. Neil, I will consider your suggestions but i think v ray materials works well with v ray rather than raytrace materials.
