Ok, i am not a patient man, and since i put too much time in modeling, i have no spare resources for improving texturing and overall scene setup! I would really appreciate then your inputs

WARNING: the architecture is almost pornographic nowadays, since it's not a restoration but a new building...

This begun as a paid work, but kept on going for modeling practice: an eclectic villa to be built near Moscow

this is the first new idea in architecture that i have seen for a while. i like it.

Hi Mattia,

Overall it really looks great!! but for those bushes in your first render you really need to play with the Ivy Generator, than it would look really fantastic!!

Have a look: http://graphics.uni-konstanz.de/~luft/ivy_generator/
Here is one I made: http://graphics.uni-konstanz.de/~luft/i ... oth_02.jpg

of course you can also use your own custom leaves

Certainly a strange collection of architectural styles art deco meets neo-classical, dumped in a food-blender with 2nd empire imperialism, Jules Verne and a dash of Inigo Jones..............kitch as Hell, but must have been fun to build!

hi Mattia!

well, if you get rid of those bushes in the foreground and fix some weird windows reflection (in the 4th shot looks like a major storm is approaching...) i think these renderings are just great! #2 in my favourite.

speaking of the architecture, i'm curious to know if the design was made in Russia or in Italy...

Drop all those Lamberts to 99 and you'll get a ton of surface details back.

@Nicor44 and Andretto: it seems that you agree with me those bushes really harm the eyes...that's the first thing i am going to fix! (btw Andretto, it's great to read you again ). Reflections look weird for a very simple reason......errr those are fakes, completely! Second thing to fix.

@Mverta: gosh...those are already 97%...maybe i've postproduced a little too much. I'll try to change all the plasters and darken the stones, so that maybe all the highlights should appear

@rendek, glebe: i know, looks as if someone had put a whole book of modern architectural history and mixed them together...the sad thing is that it has been designed by an italian exactly the way a lot of russians think an italian designer should do! Anyway a lot of fun...and to express how much, i am posting the wires of the mask spitting water. In this case it was supposed to be something in between florentine late '500 and a '50 swamp monster

Good description Stuart!


Lots of details there.

I like the third one. The copper & golden metals are cool.

I like the pool at the first one too.

If those are 97's, that's curious, because they're reading like Lamberts in terms of nearly cartoon-shader flatness. Definitely try backing those off. And like you mentioned, I'm not sure what's been done, post-wise.

The renderings look great. Along with some of the other already mentioned comments, maybe you could add some displacement to the stone in the circulation areas.

Amazing renders!!
Something that makes it look rendered though to me are the spherical ornaments scattered throughout. For some reason they look fake, almost scanline.

Otherwise, great job on everything!
