Help welcome with Residential Exterior

[tomankubik]

hi guys, please can you help me with C&C to make the picture /overall exterior pictures/ look more realistic and more pleasant for client . the setup is HDRI Image for sky,render settings Sun and Sky Mid or High, grass is post pro, little curves postpro in Gimp.
PS. Any way all kinds of C&C really welcome..I need to improve it during weekend.

Use a real photo of grass and overlay the photo on the rendering in photoshop, then use the dynamic grass brush in photoshop (gimp has similar - look up tutorials for that on youtube) to blend the grass softly at the edges near the hardscaping.
Looks like too small paving area at seating area - no place to walk around.
Coffee table model does not look realistic at all.

You can use several other plugins for SketchUp to spray or scatter or grow the grass components to look more realistic without needed to do post-pro, but actually editing in postpro is faster once you know what you're doing because the grass will increase render times.

Fur Plugin
Component Spray Tool

are just two for you to look up - they are free, I think.

thanks FLetch. My bad...this one is with the post pro.
But still not better enough. For me...and the client.

See my added comments above.

Perhaps the background image/elements are detracting from the look as well - you may need to render the alpha mask and insert a high-resolution better background image. Search Tutorial section of this forum for step-by-step with alpha mask background image.

The model is very boxy, and has very little detail, you will need to model the metal panels if you want them to look better.
All corners need to be rounded so that they look more realistic when rendered.

thanks Fletch... I will tweek it in post pro more, nad rework the whole model to bring more details.... hoefully it will be enought to succed.

PS Do you think that fillet /or adding small radius/ of the edges/corners/ of the building will help the realism?

[Fletch]

need to improve textures for sidewalk and metal panels (if not modeling them) and need to create very good bump map for the metal panels to give the reveals a little depth feeling - but bump maps do not create geometry they only change the way the light hits the surface of the texture/material... so for the reveals, you will need to actually model them.

to Fletch...thanks I will do so...it seems that Im far from good result that I thought before

[Fletch]

Actually, it's not a bad rendering - but if someone asks for help...
