camera 2

an update to another update. i'm just playing with the POV. it could be better if it had furniture inside the house. i'll work on that but for now here's looking at it from the deck.

reflection - update( FREE SCENE!!!)

i've added some lamps. it's a work-in-progress.

there's something wrong with one of the lamps. if you can tell me which one i'll gladly share the model to the first two to email or comment. :)

I've been around the net looking to challenge myself for something new to render. I've noticed that I haven't posted any exterior renders except for one that I never really got to finish.

I have stumbled upon this very nice looking house at http://www.trendir.com. It's called Crockett Residence. Designed by Elemental Design. (Please do not sue me. I do not claim ownership of the design and of the house. If I violate any laws please contact me immediately. )

Modeled this from scratch in Sketchup. Here are some study renders.

You can find the image I tried to emulate at the http://www.pbelemental.com.

Exterior ArchiViz

This is my first go at an exterior architectural rendering. It's a work-in-progress. This was started months back when work was not "getting in the way" of learning 3dsmax and mental ray. And then work at the office started to pick up. So I had to finish as much as I can before work really gets in the way. I can't seem to get a good POV at first but I decided to render it anyway. This was modeled in Sketchup and exported to 3dsmax.

These renders are just lighting test of mr sun &sky as well as finding a good point of view.

I'm still not satisfied with this half-done output. It still needs a lot of work but I'm glad it turned out well.

Side note: The design was done by a good architect friend. Thanks Mervin for letting me use this. I'll improve it when work don't get in the way of learning this wonderful new craft. :)
