Cool Monotone Images

Just wanted to share this white washed house with you guys.

My intent was to produce a photorealistic rendering for the client, but he had a surprise visit with his client and wanted something very quick from me. So I was going to just do a mass model and provide some nice line drawings, but instead I kinda stumbled onto this approach which is not bad if you are trying to disguise lack of detail in your model.

Comments welcome.

Good to see other people taking this approach. It lets the client focus on the design rather than the colors and materials.

In the templates I create, I set up a default white material for every single building element. Once the design is complete the materials can be changed, or switched out with the Attribute Manager using the tip here:

Good stuff.

Well done muddasick. I always liked 'mock-up-like' renderings, they are perfect for conceptual modeling. BTW I like your composition. Would be nice to see it ready too.

year, nice!

once I made a group of nearly identical houses.
to show one of them more detailed, I saved the other ones as gdl object and placed them beside the realistic one.
the gdl-houses can now be shown very easy with one material, so the realistic one comes to the fore !
(I don't have the pictures, they are lost, but try it by yourselve)

best regards, gerd
