Residential House Kyalami

I dont mind you knocking my work, but post some of your work for us to see....

oh Al.....Luckily its not called Photo Realistic now is it...

Doesn't look realistic to me providing 3D max and Mental Ray was used, and Photoshoped on top of that! Looks like a cheap ray tracer with fix intensity shadows.

Hi Marius, I agree with what Arnold has said above. The shadow will definitely help in the foreground. I'd also take a look at the reflections on the glass. They're extremely strong and blue. I think they'd probably be darker. The texture on the pillars is a little strange too. In can't work out what material it is at this resolution.

Hi Marius.. I like the overall feel, i think you are little bit heavy handed in the corners with vignetting and the white in the sky seems to be blown out. I would also try and put a tree behind the camera so you can get a shadow in the foreground as it feels little bit flat and there is too much of it. Also, i would try and model the roof tiles as opposed to the map as it's repeating otherwise displacing it might do the trick. Besides that, solid modelling.. well done
