Exterior Archiviz - part deux

Finally finished this good old scene. The results are much much better that the first time it was rendered. Changed the POV, the lighting and added some new colors to make it feel livelier than the previous one.
It took only 20 minutes to render this at the original render resolution of 1125x1800 pixels with default FG.

Out-of-the-box render.

This is the post-processed look. Same look and adjustments like my two recent posts.

"Photographed"

Night Scene

This scene is where I got my blog banner. It's the same from my last post Lomo. I got a bit crazy that's why I rendered it the way it is now. Well it's a personal challenge. I needed something to tinker. Anyway, a night render was something that was in my to-do list. Thought this was an interesting set for such and a photo from a magazine where two light bulbs are laid on a parquet floor just caught my imagination and got stuck in my head.

Wired!

Lomo

Been toying around the image processing software lately. Scouring the net for some sort of inspiration and one type of effect has caught my fancy - lomography.

It's a photographic look that adds (imho) artistic flare to an image. A somewhat ordinary image like this, which is by the way rendered in 3dsmax mental ray, could be more interesting if given some post-processing magic.
