Solo una sugerencia. A few of the RPC human scales are repeated and can be easily seen, specially the girl with the hat; same girl, same clothes, same pose. Excellent composition and vegetation, is the grass a displacement map or RPC?

Aside from the slow loading images, that will probably cause the Talkers still on dialup to mention the author in another context than the excellence of his work, the RPC (?) content (people and cars) look like they are pasted on in Photoshop; obviously NOT 3D models - no reflections on them, different ligthing, and there is too many of them. They disctract attention from the main subject, instead fo drawing it to relevant points or masking mistakes.

It maybe would be better if the hotel was superimposed on the site photo?

In the personal thing I don't like RPC... they don't support the perspective of the camera neither the illumination of the scene... however the client wanted a lot of people to be seen... jejejeje... I like but to use models 3d of people, cars and vegetation.

The second image does not do justice to the subject, the perspective distortion (tilt) of the building bothers me. So far I have not done any work with high rise, but I believe that you can employ tilt lens type techniques to achieve a stronger image.

😉

Are the cars 3D models? They don't look like it.

For the people, 3D models would probably be too much and too doll like. RPC is probably the best bet, but, as you say, not in the foreground!

If I can help it, I NEVER put people in, and cars and everything else is strictly 3D. If I do have to put people in, it is Piranesi, after the fact.

For people-less great renderings, go to www.ars3d.com

Nice work!

I don't like the flat surfaces of the building, they look like plastic. I suppose they are stucco because if they were some kind of laminated plates they should have visible joints. I suggest some noise and bump would help.

And shadows are too sharp - like cut with a knife. I suppose it has to do with the sun in Mexico which is mush stronger than in my country. Alas, I've never been in Mexico to check it myself . Anyway, I think shadows should be softer and VRay can produce great soft shadows.

Glass on the dround level is very, very dark, espesially on the second image. Compare it to the glass on the balconies!
