Pure and simple.

WOW !
What else can I say ?

[michaelplogue]

Amazing pieces! Well done - keep up the excellent work!

[otacon]

Great stuff.

Very nice renders!

But I have to ask something... I've seen hundreds of architectural renderings on this forum and they all look the same: Cold, dispassionate, and uncomfortable. Lots of cement walls, glass, sharp right angles, and people sitting bolt-upright in hard plastic chairs.

Do you guys all get taught from the same book? I swear these places, as cool as they are to look at, seem like they're from some Orwellian dystopian future. At first I thought they were just concept buildings, except they're coming from just about everybody, and sometimes they're labeled, "Restaurant," or "Library."

Just curious...

P.S. I'm a composer, and 99% of the stuff we get taught in school, and all the music the composing students listen to, and appreciate, is a-tonal unlistenable crap to the rest of the world. Lots of experimental shit like pushing pianos down flights of stairs, while everybody stands up and applauds how brilliant it is. I wonder if it's the same sort of thing...

damn it

[ivox3]

I just read every post ....(as most people do within a forum) and as i'm seeing these images i'm thinking to myself ......"if anyone has a single point of criticism, that they'd have to be an idiot." With the exception of Wolfkiller(a minor jab) ....which by the way gets tossed out like the high & low scores on an exam.
------ nobody did. As it should be.


........damn damn fine, RT. ivox3.

WOW
beautiful work

[rendertaxi]

Thank you everybody. Nice that you like the renderings.
All your comments are appreciated!

Always when you finish an imgae, there´s still lots of mistakes and things in it you yourself would try to improve and only your eyes can see... I personally find it hard to be satisfied with my work, it drives me to make it even better.

some words personally:
@sam7: thank you. clean because: rendered in 2048x2048 px and downsized. rendering times as shown in the post. about 15-20 hours on my dual machine.
@Micha: thank you.
@oz42: thank you. for seeing the actual animation come back here 2006, when my computer has finished calculating
@Fran: thank you. most of the times viz can only be like that if you do your own project. clients won´t appreciate things architects like..
@tom: thank you. "perfect", what an honour!
@Maya69:thank you. there´s no secret about the image: take a detailled model, add some maxwell: that´s it. the light distrubution in mw is just perfet.
@Jun In Gi: thank you.
@216coupe: thank you. muchissimas gracias. (or was that spanish?)
@mihai: thank you. "sheet with trapezoidal corrugations", as my dictionary tells me for german "trapezblech", is cheap, effective in construction and looks good!
@x_site: thank you.
@jeff: thank you. can you PM me the 1000 words?
@BEM: thank you.
@wolf: thank you. sometimes images don´t need textures, e.g. when the lighting is good.
@deesee: thank you. right. the small models are actual "big" models of my diploma work scaled down.
@iwan: thank you. mine too.
@4 hero: thank you.
@Thomas: thank you. i don´t know?
@Mike, michael, otacon: thank you.
@mikeverta: thank you. i can understand what you´re saying. i think they do look the same as all architects try to reduce their buildings to the max. "reduce to the maximum" is meant as: skip things that are not necessary. we probably all read the same books.. and: this is actually a concept rendering!
well, thank you for your post as you made us start a discussion about architecture and its image in public life here in the office!
@kkm: what do you mean?
@ivox3: thank you very much!
@ilhnga: thank you.
@jotero: thank you. i really like your structural work. it´s very architectural!

so, now that post is longer than any email i´ve ever written. typing on a keyboard takes me for ages with two fingers...
i´ll keep you updated with new work!

[leoA4D]

Rendertaxi, we all thank you for moving the bar higher. Nice work.

[jonathan löwe]

ui! very nice!

vor allem das diplomodell macht sich gut in den renderings, nette idee, einfach mal ein existierendes modell einzubauen!

lustig, dass sich hier noch andere aachener rumtreiben
liebe grüße

Personally I think a lot of people render the more modern architecture because its easier. I know i do sometimes. It can be harder to make traditional architectural scenes because a lot of times they involve more details, objects, and a bigger variety of surfaces.

octacon i dont agree with u
, as u well know, simpler must means at any rate easier...

otacon, the thing you said is true, traditional architecture often involves more detail.
but as an architect myself i´m interested in rendering new and modern architecture because i develop and design it myself. viz is then used as a proof of concept. does the spatial quality look like i conceived it?
rebuilding and rendering traditional architetcure is not that much a challenge for me..

[Maya69]

octogon is right

but i would like make beautifull render same rendertaxi.


good job and nice model


may be try for the firt a mxi or little lowpoly model for exteireur !!!
