Very cool project. Seems to resemble a 1960's 1970's style building.

good points. the scene and HDRi are to give a early evening twilight view so I would assume there would not be a lot of contrast with shadows ect. This is the HDRI I used http://www.aversis.be/hdri/hdri-individual-10000/hdri-360-031.htm

Perhaps I need to play more with the HDRi to get the right contrast.

It is true that textures can make a big difference, but I think my case is that my post processing isn't all that great yet. I still strive to get as nice of an image in max. I know programs like magic bullet for Photoshop and using nice depth of field can make wonders to exteriors, but then again most clients are not to fond of that.

This is why I am starting a business, and not going as a freelancer. I find that if I run myself as a business I am less likely to be screwed over, and when clients come to me I show them that we have strong legal withstanding contracts, and we are doing professional business. I find all to often people undersell themselves and work for peanuts, I don't understand this.

Some tips for freelancing from my experience is:

Don't let clients bully you. You may have to take a punch once in a while but don't let it become a habit.

Stick with your prices, don't let clients force you into to practically working for free.

Let clients know you business plan and your process.

Like Juraj_Talcik said, you need to eat first so make sure your have a good contract that makes sure you get payed on time, and have compensation if the job gets canceled.

Obey the law of Quality vs Cost vs Speed.

I suppose it it more or less the same for the lighting. Do you know where I can find some good source info for changing that? I more or less just eye balled the colours.  I agree the green seems overly bright in the light.
