Stone House and Pool

[Fletch]

Here it is, just for you, since you asked so nicely, my friend.

and here are the other 2 final renderings with the new stone, I hope you think they are better... I think so.

Fletch, great render obviously

One question though, is it just me or does the stone have a slight reddish, pinkish tint?
It happens to me a lot that my renders have a "color glow" - mostly from the sky i thought...

Allow me to point it out for you...
The very crisp and clean building is the rendered part and the rest is a photo...

Really nice job, Fletch...!

ok, so I haven't tried an evening shot in ages...

[Fletch]

this one cooked overnight. Interior 10+ (2400x1600)
I will do a comparison with other methods and post the differences.

Wow! Fletch, those evening shots are absolutely amazing, its like a flippin photo!

[Fletch]

thanks
here's a try to get it closer. modified sky and tone mapping, a bit of glow for the lighting.
I have surprisingly few shots of dusk in my library... grrr.
