Pulitzer Foundation - Tadao Ando

[shura]

Dylan, these are fantastic renders! The gif is really smashing me. Hopefully I will remember your approach next time I sit in front of a blank SU window not knowing what to model next, to get on with my twilight learning.
I love the simplicity in Tadao Andos work and learned a lot through your thread. Just a few days ago I walked by a japanese bookstore and saw a book about Zen in the window and had a few thoughts about Minimalism and how I could find a way to better understand architecture. Thank you for another piece to my puzzle
Equadorian, thank you for feeding me back in here, I didn't know much about Tadao Ando - what you're pointing out is really encouraging. What Oli is saying gives me hope too - maybe my quest is fruitful some day with the help of you guys.
Wish you luck WardNL!

Beautiful render, Dylan It all looks so photoreal, excepting the water bottom mat. It still has some apparent tiling.
Fix that and I'd be convinced this was a photograph.

[Dylan]

Well if anyone has a suitable pebble type texture that is seamless, send it may way and I shall render it once more

[Fletch]

Your wish is our... gravel.

[Dylan]

I ran another render with the new texture Fletch provided above.
It seems to have sorted the tiling problem.

I ran a high pass filter on this one, hopefully it brings out a little more detail.

haha that looks so good. I wouldn't know it was a render! but is the sky lower quality? you can see some distortion in it? maybe im wrong

what setting did you use for glass right at the end? has a nice green hue

amazing scene

hey.... really like this render, it's just like a photo. One thing I'm sure of is the cloud at the back, I would pick a clear sky, but that's my opinion.

[Dylan]

The sky is Treeline 2007, supplied by Twilight and in the resources. It is high quality as far as I'm aware.
I think you are right about that cloud, but that is where it sits. The original photo I built the model from had much more cloud in the sky and is what I hoped for with the render.

The glass is just a pale green glass from my SU mats library of architectural glass with IOR 1.920.

[Fletch]

Fantastic.
