Comments and Suggestions needed.

Thank you

I think the building and it's materials are excellent, however the render seems to be let down by the forground and the human figures.

If you've added the humans for a sense of scale, I don't think they're needed.

Just my opinion.

Tim.

Thanks Tim,

The plants and the people are sketch-up components, just exported everything.


Sketch-up file.

Still learning Maxwell Studio. If you have any tips, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks again.

The lighting and materials look very good. I agree with Tim about the people.

The glass also looks nice - what settings did you use for it??

Thanks Jaz...

The glass is just a standard material from the material library.

very nice render! is it double pane glass or single pane and is that the blue glass in sketchup or what?

Thanks dizz......

It's double pane and the glass is from Maxwell Studio standard material.

that looks great..but like the others.. maybe lose the person...and the foreground plantings just seem too straight across teh bottom..maybe angle the view so they're angled? I dont know.

I really need to start playing with studio.

Looks great,
What you could try with the plants is blurring the foreground by charging your camera FStop to 1. The plants would also look more realistic if they would be a bit less saturated, i.e. make the green greyer.

WOW! Thanks guys. I really apreciate all the inquiries and suggestions. I really need to learn more about Maxwell Studio.

Have you tried doing a M~R rendering with the sketch lines enabled?

In my initial Sketchup tests with M~R Beta, it would crash when the plugin tried to write the mxs file.

I've not gotten round to reinstalling SU since I've had so much more success with 3DSMax, so I've not had chance to try the sketch line render with RC5. (I appreciate it might not work in Studio though, but should through the plugin.)


Tim.

Hi Tim,

Actually I did try it last night, but instead of crashing it told me that the mxs file was invalid or corrupted.

No luck on doing it with the sketch lines.

Thank you for letting me know. The current work around is to composite the lines with Photoshop after render.


Perhaps it might be an option in M~R V1.

Hi ypnos,

Actually it took 8hrs to render this.
