I'm going to update this a little while. The above render was exactly my first trial at a low sampling level.
Any suggestions of any kind from anybody?
Hi Forester,
Thanks for sharing your WIP. Some ideas you might wish to explore -
1. Create a new camera and position it more to the left, at eye level standing, and looking somewhere towards the two pot plants on the right against the wall and over the fountain. I'm assuming the current camera is 35mm, so perhaps open wider to 28mm or 21mm until you include the tree and left side doorway.
2. A sky with more blue - late afternoon with a softer light?
3. The two arched reliefs either side of the seating seem to be wanting something on them? - maybe a trellis and creeper or more decorative filigree similar to the doors or as a rendered finish?
4. Would the courtyard have a paving stone in some pattern? Also a lace-type curtain tied back either side of the seating?
5. I like the bark on the tree!
6. Is the film response set at the default Maxwell? May be also try some others as when I did this with the house in the woods example, it made the image more punchy with deeper shadows etc. If you do try this, take a screen shot of your current settings as changing the film response will likely require changing the settings quite a bit to suit the richer colours.
