Hello. First time making an autumn scene.
Scene was created in Blender, rendered in Cycles at FHD, then used Topaz Gigapixel to upscale it to 4K.
Chapel and tombstones were modeled in Blender, textured in Substance Painter.
Trees, bushes and the ivy on the chapel was made with SpeedTree.
The colors of the autumn for the vegetation was made with my own add-on for Blender, Season Slider.
Post processing done in Photoshop to enhance the colors and to make it look more like a pastoral painting.
The main image is particularly successful. I really like the foreground as well as the hill behind the church. Thank you for the detailed images and precise explanations. Excellent work.
This is real “fine art”. A beautiful place, beautiful building, beautiful lighting. There’s too much sci-fy and cartooning and not enough of this kind of real - and inspiring - art. Thank you.
Shot 3 - I’m pretty sure these flowers are out of season.
There is no flashing on the roof adjacent to the tower. That’s a licking problem in the future.
Why did you go with a rounded main door, when every other window and original door is pointed?
If You look at the original photo, the glass is black and the frames between are brighter, due to the light they reflect. You have the opposite. Actually, it depends a lot on the conditions, so acceptable. Just people (myself too) strain away from portraying windows as black, cos mainly we look at them from inside.
Actually, the left one on the original image is as well opposite ;-).
I appreciate the feedback.
Thankfully, I’m not aiming for 100% realism/photorealism so that I can have my artistic choices (and because of incapability of modeling).
Can you elaborate what you meant by “flashing on the roof”? I don’t quite get that part.
If You don’t go for realism,it’s fine. Technical construction staff. Wall-roof flashing, where the roof meets the tower wall. In these places (as well as two roof parts in different directions: the Main roof and the entrance roof) You have to install flashing to protect from water leaking. Usually, people try to hide it as much as possible, but usually at least a bit visible. In the original image, You can see it on the left by the tower. On the right, where the roof ends, it’s really nicely masked, but between the entrance and main roof, You can see it a bit too.
I’ve seen architectural visualisations that skip that part too, so nothing serious to bother.
