Modern Cliffside Villa — Day & Dusk Study
Hi everyone! Sharing two exterior renders (daytime & dusk) from our recent Modern Cliffside Villa project by MR Rendering. The goal was to highlight the concrete/wood/glass palette, open terraces, and the infinity pool sitting on a natural hillside.

Dusk — lighting study
Tech Specs
- Software: Blender • Render: Cycles
- Resolution: 3840×2160 (4K)
- Samples / Denoise: 1024 • OIDN
- Lighting: Sun + HDRI (dusk adds area/IES for terrace & pool)
- Materials: Real-scale PBR (albedo/roughness/normal)
- Post: Blender Compositor + light Photoshop touch
Workflow Notes
- Locked camera/composition first, then refined massing and landscaping.
- Material focus: board-formed concrete, vertical wood slats, low-iron glass.
- Vegetation scatter follows terrain for depth and natural breakup.
- Dusk pass emphasizes roof rim light and subtle pool glow for warm/cool contrast.
Feedback on lighting, materials, and composition is very welcome!
