Hi Guys,
Wanted to share my own project. Worked on it on and off for a couple of months in my spare time. Design is my own, built up from references of Nordic houses and sheds. Software used:
Modeling: Sketchup and 3ds max
Trees and plants: Evermotion Archmodels
Render: Corona
Postproduction: ArionFX and photoshop
I am still not completely satisfied. I had difficulties colorcorrecting the images. Not sure if ArionFx is the best tool for me. I would love to hear comments from you guys so i can improve. Thanks a lot!
(PS i know the closeup shot has horrible spiky displacement on the stones, but i had no time altering it as i needed the images to be put into my portfolio ;-)
-
sick work! love the details and colors of the render
-
night shot is really convincing. sunlights shots are a bit overexposed, imho. great work!

Thanks guys for your comments! In my opinion the day shots are overexposed too. I really had a hard time getting it nice in postproduction. Not sure what is the best way. I tried getting the blue sky back with arionFX (saved the render as a 32 bit exr). But i did not get the desired result :-(

Use alpha mask and exchange it in post production ;)
Otherwise a "built-in" solution would be to use the same light setup, that you used to light your scene, but with a lower intensity in the "direct visibility" environment override, that way you can get back the colors (you can do the same trick and tweak the reflections separately). But be careful with it, it is quite easy to separate them too much and make the image shout "fake" :)
