Lake Lugano House Overcast

Perfect Project dear james. Ellipse column inside the building looks nice, shadow of trees and wall on the glass window had effect to the scene, rock stone behind the window was good idea. There is a black stone between the trees is it a fire stone? because it was good that you put it in this area.

Great work , you guys at Uniform always are impressive, i remember your presentation at our University was awesome. How are the pebbles done? are they particles or displacement?I am asking for both the small and the big ones.

Excellent work ..... Really like that !

That double glazing must have an extremely wide cavity to create that extent of displacement between the reflections, but overall lovely images. I especially like the way you've done the gravel margin.

Thanks to all, I am absolutely chuffed to get image of the week and all your feedback is very kind. In terms of reference I relied on reference photography that I found on JMA's website along with the tiny plans that they provide. The glass reference can be found on their website also and is actually mounted to the outside of the frame. In terms of lighting the scene is lit using Peter Guthrie's morning overcast HDRI placed into a dome light. The sculpture is as close as I could get to what features in reality without spending ages on it. I wonder if the spot lighting I have placed to the base of it makes it look strange? Cheers, James

I'm confused about the windows. It looks like the glass is on the very outside, not in the seam of the metal frame. It also looks like the reflection in the glass is a little bumpy. I love the design and the sculpture! It's a very peaceful and quiet setting.

The glass is actually "glued on" in front of the framing so to speak. You use some double adhesive tpare like Norton's or silimar. James, I love the image all together and I'd like to know mor about the outside lighing set; is it just an HDRI or what? Congrats!

veryy coooollll lighting and texturing ...

James, this is amazing! I'm new to the world of cg rendering and am wondering about a few things. Did you start with a photo? Is everything in this image built/drawn by you? I'd love to see a before and after. Great work!

I like to pick images apart, and I'm good at it. But this one is very close to perfect to my eye. The artist did many things to create the illusion of reality from not over doing the sky to the subtle light flow. I think the sculpture looks fine...every detail is meticulously worked out to give the customer the illusion that their house is alive and in this picture.

big congratulations!!!

Excelent work !!! Congratulations for the price !

Great Lighting

Nice work!

You're incredible pro. Love your lightning.

nice shot!

like how the exterior and interior lights work together in the same shot!

beautiful... but that sculpture (or whathever it is) looks weird.
