Hello,
I'm trying to re-do the roof texture in a few previous renders….

I wanted to get your thoughts, which roof do you think looks better so far?

This


or this



Or do I continue to try and make a better texture?

The second one doesn’t seem like my bump is showing up in it… any comments or suggestions on the roof would be great.

Thanks,
Mark

the variation of colors is better in the second pic (not too different)
but the overall brightness is better in the first.

so my suggestion would be to increase the lightness of the second texture and give it a try.

hope it helps

They don't seem to have any real texture. I realize that we're at a goodly distance from the house, but the surfaces where you're seeing at an off angle don't seem to pop at all.

the roof surface looks much too flat. maybe you could try to add more bump or - better - a normal map to the texture to make it appear more defined.

there's also a small 'halo' around the roof top line, maybe an issue with compositing?

both textures and also the stones for the basement are looking like flat photos applied to the surfaces. that's why it is probably also good to add some geometrical details to the model in some strategic points to make the overall appearance more convincing.

mmmm, there is something wrong with the alpha.. there is a white line around the roof..

anyaway, great job..

hi mark
i feel your roof is not enough bumped...
maybe you should place more details and more shiness too ?


in our gallery you have exemple of what we do for roof tiles.
