Weekend render:

[djflod]

looking good so far But where's the rest of the building gone ?

[Bubbaloo]

Thanks! I will have a "Phase 1" and a "Phase 2" final render. The first will be just a render of the small building, and phase 2 will be both buildings.

Looking good... A few suggestions:
1 Consider changing the time of day or year to create more drama in the lighting.
2 Add more construction details, such as horizontal brick relieving angles at every floor, vertical control joints in the brick, and some other control joints (if stucco) or seams (if metal panel) in the yellow material...
3 Add signage and striping for ADA parking

i'd suggest using another glass material: tempered glass always have a greenish, more opaque look than white pure transparent glass, there is no way you can avoid this!

A redesign!
Phase 1 Version 2:

Nicely done Brian! Your scene lighting feels "alive" compared to the previous! I seriously do like this setup....Better materials overall! - Those trees look much better - do like the the branches added within the camera's view - Great Work!

Thanks, Darren!

[Bubbaloo]

More changes! Yippee.

Are u using an HDRI or physical sky by itself?

Also, the cars are 3d and implemented into the scene?

Also, are the trees 3d and are they the dosch trees?

On the last one, just physical sky. On the one before that, both.

Also, the cars are 3d and implemented into the scene?

Yes they are.

Also, are the trees 3d and are they the dosch trees?

They are 3d but they are Onyx. Modified for SSS leaves.

Brian, this is really looking great. Are you eventually going to add people images to the silos?

[smvwhite]

Really like the clean look and realism of these renders Brian.

Also congrats on your Inside Job in 3D World 113. Looking forward to tackling that this weekend.

[Bubbaloo]

philmartin: Thanks. Nope, no people. I gave up on trying to put realistic people in renderings.

smvwhite: Thanks, and I hope you find it useful!

What sort of glass are u using bub?
Also, did you put actual emitters inside the building?

The glass looks good...not too reflective.

Also, how long did u render for? thanks.
