Hey guys, have a client who wants a view outside an apartment window, he cant decide between urban landscape, beach or mountainous.....I still wanna use maxwells sky, seem to have gone off skydomes mapped with a pretty blue sky and clouds, anyone know of any? I cant really use HDRI but maybe something with alpha maps like a view of the tps of some trees or something, any ideas welcome,

Cheers

Dear Renderer,

I would like you to render a house with a view. I don't know what house I want you to render, and I don't know what view I want you to render, but I want you to render it.
Thanks,
Client

Hey Rusty, you had a few bad clients lately?

one in particular.....

i sent them "clay rendering" explaining where we were at in the process and where we would go, yada yada..... client calls and i asked if they had received the preliminary update of the massing, a.k.a "clay rendering" (i knew they probably wouldn't understand "clay rendering", that's why i explained where the model was at in length) so when i asked if they had received it, they said: "yes, you sent the rendering of the mud. there is no mud in the brick, it is a dark brown and a dark red"....... i'll give them your contact info if they call back with another project, so they can call you 5 times a day and ask where you are at with the rendering and change the color of trim and pavers several times before it ends up looking exactly like the first full draft.

oh, and so they can ask you for the large format print even when it states in the contract that printing is not included and only digital formats are delivered...

Sounds like a heap of fun.......thanks for the offer, you can keep that one.

ok fine, i'll send him to bubbaloo

now you're talkin'.

Brett, just render an alpha channel and paste any background later in PS. Any view they decide on you'll probably have to move it into the exact position they want.

Thanks for the tip Mihai, I tried it on a back plane, and it looked cheesy, I told my client it would look cheesy, I sent him a nice prelim rendering of bubbaloos nice oranage sky, I think he liked it
