Hello Guys! When I heard about the new BlenderCookie contest on Architectural_Rendering, I was very keen to create an architectural render (based on real life references) and to push my skills at a Photo-Realistic result. Until now I have an image that doesn’t look very awesome:
Now, these are the references that I found useful for this project: NOTE: The reference images that you can see below are from a Swedish shopping center called Emporia.
I’m trying to achieve a Photo-Realistic result with a good composition and an interesting color scheme. This shopping center is going to be on a snowy winter scene to balance the strong use of yellow in the building, also I will add some nature on the left so the image can be more comfortable to look at.
I’ll really appreciate some advice!
Rendering took quite a bit here but, anyway I’ve added some dramatic lighting to bring up some detail on the image. Now I’m planning to add some ground to this scene.
I also noticed that in your references it seems that the building has a yellowish gold hue to it, not sure if this is the sun or the glass itself. i think if it was me i would use planes as lights because in the center of your second reference you can still see that whiteish reflectivity going on.
