My best rendering with LW so far

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 10:25:35 GMT

This is the best rendering I have made with LW.

I have to admit I am a dedicated VRay user and just a beginner in LW. I made this rendering for an article on AC I am preparing at the moment and I am quite impressed with the result! This is more than enough for any client!

I would welcome any critiques and suggestions for improving the final result!

Details:
original size : 2000/1455 pixels
time: 62 seconds
hard shadows

sure thing its lovely but still i think that the method discussed before about mixing LW with sketch is the most easy , unique , powerful thing you can get , here is a try from yesterday " didn't waste time on lights and materials in LW , no time for Sketch , just few minutes with Photoshop" and thats it !!

i like it

t!

There's lots to say about this that is typical of many beginning LW renderings - particularly about light color. A yellower sun and a bluer ambient will improve quality.

The most glaring error is the concrete wall texture. You're using the old Archicad concrete image that shows its repeat pattern - the number one problem with image tiling. UGG-LEE!

For a better result, you'll want to examine the LW archive concrete shader treatments for concrete color and retain the old archicad image as a displacement shader only. See page 123 of my book for complete instructions.

it would be a pleasure to share a file with a master

nothing special in the model... " rotated hot linked modules"

but sure just pm your email and what file format u prefer , and it will be there .

Thank you , whatewer! I agree with you about the sketch rendering - in fact this was the way I presented the project! Here I attach the picture!

But LW is still an unexplored field for me so when I have some time I like to play with it!

Thank you, Dwight! Your critique is right to the point, as always!

I used the ordinary AC sun and completely forgot to change its colour!
I made the model with the intention to render it in VRay, and modelled it according to this. When I decided to render it in LW I just went for it and made the stupid mistake!

I will give it a try once more and post the results, especially if I get your book in the meantime!

Here is the VRay rendering:

Kliment,

From a distance I have been watching some great Architects from down-under.

They would love your house in New Zeland too.

You would fit right in at Stanley-Joblin & Allfrey or
Ian Cumberpatch Architects Ltd. etc...

Now is your chance to move to Christchurch! They are looking for a good ArchiCAD man like you.

You will want to check out Bob Burnets new house at

6 Runswick Lane
Broad Oaks
Cashmere
Christchurch

Thanx, Steve! New Zealand sounds good! I'll think about it!

I have been thinking/dreaming about it since 1985.
Still haven't been able to get there.

mate, if those are the two best examples you could find of architecture in christchurch you aren't looking hard enough.

the strange irony, however, is that there truly is a great building further up the hill in your first photograph but you choose not to focus on it! the 'bell house' by stephen fitzgerald of objectile design and architecture.

Kliment,

Here is another award winning project from the Christchurch area that reminds me of your project.
