Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Firstly, let me justified the title. Presented image is a mixture of photography, 3d graphics and matte paiting.

Secondly I would like ask you about your feeling about this image from photographic and simply viewer point of view. Does it speak to you, would you like to go there etc

Also any other comments, sugestions and impresions are welcome.

Sorry for small resolution, but I cannot post it higher than that.

very pleasing image of a proposed boutique resort. I can not tell what is not real ( i assume the building is not real) and real ( i assum the swan, fountain and birds are real)

the building does have alot of detail to make it look 'real'.
also the illumination of the buildings fits in with the scenery. did you use radiosity and Global illumination??

great job!

do you work in architecural visualization?

It's nice but for more dramtic effect which I have seen you pull off consistently in the past

I would rotate the scene and move the camera so the building is 60 degrees from the axis point end of the building acing viewer, that way you get better perspective see more of the building and so on, i wll have to draw a little picture so you get what i mean, but i will do that after work hours

Truthfully I find the image bland and uninspiring. Sorry but it would not make me want to go there.

Genji,

Your are about right what is real what not and yes, it is GI.

Wendellt, yes , I do architectural visualisation as well. I agree with camera view. This image is anly part of the whole think. The idea you propose is happing now in animation form :)

This view is rather for marketing people, to show how great and enviromental area is ;-)

Oneputt, thank for your honest feeling. This is what I need :)

Thanks guys for you feedback, I appreciate that :)

i think the building follows the idea 'touching the earth lightly' approach, where mininal damage is done to the surrounding.

although could you have a couple engaging with the scene (walking along the beach??) gives a sense of proportion.

There are few people on the deck, if this is what you mean. However animation will just showing landscape design rather and marketing features, so animated walking people are not in budget. However I agree, this site has potencial for good marketing shots :)

Not really, but I know Arterra Design (us), Archietctural Images, C3D, Involve Studio and few more talking about 3d arch viz in Sydney :)

Actually I was graduated as a software developer and had a couple years experience in this area starting from low level hardware programing to java and databases business system ;-) But then I found that I should be paid for my hobby with is 3d and computer graphics so I change my profesion :)

Now I understand your recent portfolio shots :) Thanks for good word, I am trying my the best :)

genji

No. Recently I use quite a lot Vray.

This one was pretty quick job, looks good, however having more time would result in better shots. There is always issue between quality and time in pro projects, unfortunatelly. Heh.

Hope to update and release my website soon. There will be few better projects :)
