After fiddling a while in maxwell i've decided to start a project on my house, which i fear will be painfully long but worth a go.

Just in the structural modelling stage atm, with all the brickwork and roofing nearly complete. Textures are very simple for now and it looks a bit too new but until i finish the exterior with the garden etc i won't be concentrating on texture maps fully.

Here's a quick 2 1/2 hr snap @ 12 samples



comments welcome !

:: looking good.... ::

looks nice but too bright, also make a better cam angle, and add some nice trees and grass for a more accurate looking
keep it up

30 min render update



The garden details will come once i finshed these god damn tiles, windows, guttering arghhhh

looking really great keep it up! looks like it's going to be a nice render when you're finished.

I had some serious troubles with grass so i tried with ornatrix converted to mesh faces, after loads of crashes i managed to output one mxs file.

It's getting there, however the noise from the emitter objects is taking a while to go ( 3 sided emitters x 2 + very dark skydome )
The scale of the image is correct, working in cm's ad maxwell set to 0.01, and both lights are custom 500w emitters but they don't seem to light the environment well.
I might try to simulate a street light behind the camera, does anyone know what wattage they should be roughly ???
I'm gonna let it render longer tomorrow and see if it makes much of a difference.

shutter = 2000 = 1seg/2000 its a very fast velocity.
For a sunny day its ok. but for the night you must put a low valor in shutter, for example (20 - 40 - 90 ).
Tray it.

Sorry for my bad English.

very good point, that crossed my mind, thanks
