Welcome to the forum JM! :)

And it's a nice looking archi rendering you done, there's hardly any noise and it's clean crisp and sharp. The textures look good and well placed so does the glass also. My only complaint would be the sky, you could have composited in some clouds and maybe something else..

Also i don't know if you done any postwork on it, but the antialiasing looks poor, that however could be due to Maxwell itself. I can't really say for sure.

How long did it take to render and what sampling level did it reach and what hardware have you got ?

Welcome JM, that one piece of impresive render you got there! Great image... Almost photoreal except for some details on the bricks finishes and such, like shrp edges. But then again, at this scale most of that stuff aint visible.
The only thing that I dislike is the sidewalk... Maybe not the best texture? I dont know... But it is definately crying for some softening on those edges.

Maximus: Ive never had any problems with maxwells antialiasing. This may be a bad compresion of the image.

Maybe JM could post the original raw output of maxwell, so that we can be a bit more critical. As to clouds... Yeah, they would be nice. But unless they are THE perfect clouds, dont paste them, they will most likely ruin the pic.

This render is a real piece of art, and normaly I hate rpc people... Yours are the most convincing I have seen to date.

Congrats! :wink: And pardon my english.

Lovely render 8)

I love the Maxwell sky too.

btw, what's this with everyone and clouds ? I am pretty sure I have seen clear skies before (it is within the realm of possibility). :lol:

Image resolution : 2400 x 1500 px.
Scene polygons : 1.055.000 polys. (mainly 'cause the rooftops and trees)
Render time : 15 h. on a Dual Xeon 3.0 Ghz with HT, 2 Gb ram.
Sampling level : about 17 (don't remember exactly)
fStop : 8. Shutter speed : 125. Film ISO : 100.

Maximus3D:
Thanks. Yes, it would look nice with clouds, but I like clear skies. About the aa problem, is caused by the sharp filter and the image size.

n1tram:
Thanks. The sidewalk sucks, I know :oops: . I think the same about the clouds. These people are not RPC, these photos are from ImageCELs. These photos were taken outside with sunlight, so this is why they look better. The trick is to find the right one/s for the scene.

Thomas:
Thanks. Maxwell sky rocks. :wink:

hotrod, x_site, Hervé: thank you, guys :)

Well, this is a larger image WITHOUT post. There is a blur problem, well known in beta version 1.2 :

But the image looks better after post, in my opinion :

And a couple of wires :
