hey guys!
I've been away for a while and I see lots of impressive work on forum! :)
for a long time I wanted to make an exterior shot and finally I've got the chance to do something about it so I chose Newyork city apartments!
my goal was to make a delightful summer sunset also I got the chance to practice on rendering some trees too!
this is my first shot , I'm modeling the roof top now, that would be the next shot!
feel free to tell your Ideas! :)
Wow! Amazing shot. You must have been practicing.That's the best ever!!
Very nice!
:)
Looking good, I'm going to watch this space ... Hope to see more
Martin
love it!
Unbelievable ! It is so real! really amazing!
teally good ! want to see more too :)
This is super good. Would you mind sharing a clay at some point? The details are really-well handled. Especially the trees. Fantastic!
One thing... In the bottom-right windows, there's some words/letters that are backwards 'bakery, etc.' Is that a reflection? A tad confusing.
Amazing! I've never made a complex scene like this and i can't imagine the ammount of work that it requires. Only thing i find a bit odd (and i can be totally wrong) is the lighting on the bottom surfaces of the stairs. I don't know if the lights of the windows are bright enough to light them up that way.

Thanks martin, yeah I'm preparing a few other shots but the modeling takes time , specially the roof top!that area has lots of details!

glad you liked it man, about the window you mentioned, you're right that's bakery reflection as it's on the other side of the street we see the words backwards but I agree with you maybe it was better to decrease the refraction index of the glass a little bit!
every single part of this is done in keyshot , I'll post the clay hope that helps, the beauty saloon and parts of restaurant are some pictures I found and some label work I did in keyshot :)

thanks a lot nico :)
for the window lights I duplicated the windows and moved them forward a bit then tried the area lights (lumen) with the visible reflection mode off!
you're partly right , I increased the lights power a bit more to make the scene a bit warmer as I saw some references ;)
Here is a shot from a neighbor's window across the street and and clay :)
there will be more ;D
Really cool exterior Hossein, one of my favourites for sure :)
Wow! I'm impressed. That shot through the window is absolutely great! I haven't really seen a CG/Rendering showing that before. It's a unique shot and has a great effect. Props man! What are you modeling in?
Very impressive. When I looked at the original image I wasn't quite sure what was rendered. And I agree with Will, that shot looking out the window is extra awesome, because it is all geometry!
Yes it's very impressive when i see the clay.
What the process to obtain that ? All windows are labelling or it's only one image for the street ?

Thanks a bunch man! feels great to hear this from you, means a a lot to me for sure! :)
at first I started with CATIA because that's my first modeling software but on some levels I had to use 3ds max, so this is a combination of CATIA and max (mostly 3ds max).but for the roof top I'm completely using 3ds max. :)
(the roof top has become a nightmare as it has more details than I thought ... :-X ;D)

Great to hear it! :)
No, the windows with the lights on are label work too,what you see behind the other windows with the lights off are all geometry :)
Hi Hossein.
Great work so far.
As has been mentioned already, that out-of-the-window shot is a cool idea and has great potential. I think you can, if you are up for it, push it quite a lot. Anyways, here are a few quick suggestions:
Decide on a point of focus. Right now it's like the flower, the glass, the outside and the indoor lighting coming from the left is fighting for attention. I would probably put more focus on the outside, using the inside 'only' as a frame in frame. Here's is what you can do to help achieve that:
1. Turn off indoor lighting, or create a faint cold light as if it i.e. comes from a nearby TV. The blue light will contrast nicely to the yellow from the outside and also turning down the intensity helps to attract focus to the brighter outside area.
2. Move the camera closer to the window itself. I don't think cutting of some of the window frame is going to be a problem.
3. Add some subtle dirt to your window glass.
4. Enable DoF to blur out foreground items like the flower and the glass.
5. Add a story. Just a silhouette of a person in one of windows on the other site of the street will add a lot of interest and something to wonder about.
Just a bunch of quick thoughts :)
Best,
Great suggestions from Esben. I'd love to see where you land after giving those a shot!

agreed, great thoughts!
I've posted my result, let me know what you think guys :)
That's not creepy at all! haha
I'd say you can push the contrast a bit more in the values to punch it up a bit. Also, the building's facade across the street looks too well-lit. You could go for the effect of having a warm street light on by adding a light out of view and turning down HDRI brightness. Also, increase the brightness on windows across the street.
Looking sweet though.
Really good Hossein ;)

haha,though that myself too, feels like a stalker's view than a normal neighbor ;D
on this one I have decreased the HDRI brighness about 0.4 and used an IES to get the shadows on the wall then increased the blue light a bit more,the windows lights are increased as well as the contrast of the overal image :)

Really good Hossein ;)
thanks man , I think with the great feedback of you guys the shot looks much better now :)
Yes ! Hitchcock is here ! Bravo

Naaaahhhhh we're talkin'. I really like this one Hossein!
The yellow light on the tree leaves is really nice.

Thanks Will for helping to improve this scene dude! ;)
that yellow light appeared by the IES light I used for the shadows as you suggested :)
That last image is truly super! I love the element of mystery you've captured- make you want to know more...
Maybe still a tad bright on the street side walls?
Very well done!!!

Very nice progression!
That really helped. Way better now :)

Thanks Bill for the kind words :)
I've added a light close to the street wall and decreased the HDRI brighness but that wall became a bit dark,so I increased the texture brightness a little to get the feeling that the street light is close to that wall ;)

yes , of course! thanks to you for those great suggestions :)
Bravo for all the tweaks. You made an excellent shot.

Hossein this one (and the last two) is truly epic! Mind blowing scene you've created
These are really beautiful works, Hossein! The progression has been awesome :)
