The English-Ivy-leaves-with-Clematis-blossoms is quite the hybrid!
You could probably sell a lot of those in the Burpee Seed Catalog.

The dark doors look do better.

Is this still using an IBL?

HA!! got YOU fooled! I used the leaves of a hedge maple with the Clemantis! hehehe. Didn't have any ivy leaves and adding texture seems to work. :D


I have an IBL Just about where W!Zard sugested. It surrounds the bench and small table. Works good to anchor them.

Thank you. Been working on getting the colors just right so it looks like something someone would want to actually live at.


So.. anyone think that the large potted plant added in the scene makes it over the top? Or adds just the right touch?

no? Maybe a more realistic size to it?

Much better size to the pot, fit's properly now, but I'd go more with a traditional terracotta colour than the white matching the giant vases, that seems wrong.


Is this using tS 6.6 or 7?

This looks better all the time - I personally think the background is less confusing now with the doors closed, thanks!

One more minor suggestion that you may choose to ignore - for the tiled roof in the rear left of the shot, I'd expect their to be a gutter pipe to collect rain running off the roof, (and really a fascia board behind it). Carefully positioned ,this could also hide the texture at the edge/underside of the tiles which doesn't look quite right at the mo, in my opinion...

Not sure about the extra pot plant myself - not sure it's needed, unless you put it on the little side table, the current spot seems a bit strange and isolated.

I'd go with terracotta on the small pot as WWW says. As for it being there, it doesnt look like it would be there to be on display, to me it looks like its there as part of some ongoing work - maybe its just been dug up and put in the pot, maybe its about to be taken out of the pot and into some flower bed out in the garden. You could drop a trowel or other small garden implement next to it, which would give some life and activity in the scene, a real sense that people are using this space.


HTH!

I went for a loam fork, but I think I will bend it so that it has some dimensions.


Hope for an update tomorrow or the next day.

OK - this better? I think that this is done now.

What do you all think?

You don't sign your Art?;)


Wow what a big improvement from when you first started. It just proves some of the benefits using these forums. I think this is your best work yet. Great Job, Kena!

Try to apply roof tile textures which I have posted to "free textures here" thread. Now the roof tiles look too flat.

Thanks for trying out the pot and loam fork ideas. To me at least it moves it from being an empty set piece that may never have had people in it, to a lived in place where someone was at work not an hour ago, and will be back later to finish up, and I like that, gives it more life and less of a sterile kind of edge :)


I too think this could be your best one yet - though I am also sure there will be better in future too!


Thanks for sharing the progress on this one from initial render through to this final (or as final as 3D art ever is, since there is always the temptation to do just ONE more render to tweak the *insert small detail that you think you could make a bit better by changing the setting from 0.5 to 0.52 here*)


Thanks!

Tom

np. I figure that if I put up a WIP and get good advice then someone may come along later and see how a scene gets put together. That would allow a new person to get a jump up on creating their own.
