Mixed-Use Development

Hey guys,

First post here in the gallery..

This is my first large-scale architectural rendering with Corona. Had to play around a lot to achieve a decent global lighting.
Ended up with some noisy results in some closer shots, but I'm sorta satisfied with this one.
Would be curious to know how you guys deal with interior lighting for an exterior perspective on such large-scale project.

Rendered in approx. 7 hours overnight;
On-site photography + Photoshop integration took a whole day.

Cheers

Are you referring to the 255 lights limit? Well, there are some workarounds for this, for example grouping the lights which are in the same room. But this should be fixed in the next daily build. Let me know if it's something else.

Generally I would advise to avoid using multiple Corona lights inside, if it's intended to be viewed only from the outside. Example: one big corona light invisible directly to light each room/floor.

Tehcnically a really good image, but the cg skyscraper is slightly crooked and with the road as a major foreground - to me - it makes the image a little unbalanced. I think the photo is straight but maybe if the CG part was straight too it would help. :)

It is very slight, but most prominent on the right side of the skyscraper.

I really like the image and overall atmosphere.

But there is something bad with color balance, I mean buildings in photo has much more greens than your building has. I understand the fact that it is new and has different materials, but now the difference is bit too high. Fixing this would make the render much better in terms of realism.

There is serious lithing mismatch.
