My first House, wip

[Fletch]

Pool water seems unnaturally blue and almost opaque or something... be sure try setting the water like in these threads:

Thanks Fletch,

I used the Majid's water material directly, don't you think that the blue color comes from the blue mosaic tiles ?
I will make a test soon...

[Fletch]

yes.
set sun slider to 5 or 10... it's at 50 now...

[fymoro]

Thanks Fletch,
I just slide the sun parameter at 10 and render with high + preset 35 minutes..

I have no problem with overtly blueish pool, but Fletch's turquoise water is much more realistic IMHO.
Other than that, the stone pool tiles seems a little messy.
It's looking amazingly great and high time to let it cook.

[Fletch]

forgot to mention - please increase segments on curves of pool for closeups! Fix mapping of material on curved ends of pool...

yes, as you noticed... sun slider at 50 takes a very long time to render.
sun @ 5 will render even faster and will likely look even more realistic
thought of tables next to lounge chairs?

solo's plants, right? lookin' pretty decent...

[fymoro]

Thanks, yes Solo's Plants are perfect...
Here is a new render with a small "human touch" on the right, and a "French touch" also with the best car in the world, the "2 horses power Citroen"...

And I forget to say, NO PS YET (except the border)

fred, the pool is way too saturated and stands out against the sky. You need to add some dirt etc to the stucco/render for age and variation. Other than that, looking great!!

You haven't seen how much people like saturated-blue pool tile colors in Guayaquil, Oli.

Loving the 2CV Fred, they are such cool cars
