[Marcinek]

Really nice work ! I like You light setup

[igami]

This picture looks great :thumbsup: Can we see the wireframe of it?
I was wondering how you did the tree in the back. Did you actually model the tree or you use a plane and use alpha map?

[Oippis]

This is probably the best picture of this genre I've seen. Nice composition, how the picture leads one's eyes through the alley. Also, lot's of nice details and beautiful colors. The lightning couldn't be better. Five stars.

Offtopic: word "siena" means "wall" in Latvian...

[esper77]

Thanks for your comments everyone.

Igami, all the trees are Xfrog models not alpha maps.

Here are the wires:

[Joscci]

Very nice render! Good job. :thumbsup:

Thanks for sharing the wires also.

Cheers.

P.S. What exactly is an Xfrog model?

[GoranNF]

That's photorealism!Awesome textures and superB lighting.Good job,4 stars

[Lithan]

Nice work on lighting and details. Bravo

[esper77]

Joscci, Xfrog does plants. You can check them out here: http://www.xfrog.com/

[loocas]

I'm not a big fan of such renders, renders of streets or so... But this one stands out a bit with the beautiful foliage! :thumbsup:

[Dan Wade]

Great work fella.
My only comments would be that the green doorframe and window frames in the foreground may need some extra texture work. It would be nice if there was a little grime on the walls they are attached too, just on the edges, and they seem to be seperate now, if that makes sense? Maybe an ambient occlusion pass (if your not already using one) might help this issue? Also, the box on the floor on the left seems quite bright considering its in quite dark shade like the objects around it.

[Dennik]

Just for the theme, and the atmosphere, you get 5 stars from me. I love it!

[rodrigogua]

ever been to lucca? awesome italian medieval village

[ja3d]

Nice render, very nice, the scene it,s fantastic, I only see one thing, the stair looks out of the scene, or looks stranger for me.

[Joscci]

Joscci, Xfrog does plants. You can check them out here: http://www.xfrog.com/

Ahhh... Gotcha'! Thanks for the info. :)

Cheers.

[MmAaXx]

The details are very impressive!! goood!

[ACantarel]

You created a nice mood. Modeling, lighting, colors, textures... very well done.
I would like to sit there and have a cup of coffee :)

Cheers
André

[esper77]

Thanks again for all your comments and critique.

rodrigogua, no I've never been there, but from what I've seen it's certainly a place I'd like to go. :)

[goulei]

very nice.....finery,

[giraffe3d]

hi:) I like the mood and lighting and your textures.
congrats:)

[pantel05]

nice i can smell the enviroment 5 stars from me !!

[BGHart]

Congrats to your well deserved front page appearence, Jason. :bounce:

[Artist-Lounge]

definitely one of the best 3d shots I've seen .. very nice :thumbsup:

[tredistudio]

REAL!

Only one thing, if you use some DOF on the backgroud it could be perfect.
Anyway
Five star for me!

[walc]

Such a nice place, great aura, I would like to live there (Now I live in better place, but still, I'd like to live there) :D

[Engy]

Good work, Fundamentally a fairly well executed piece.

Although does using x frog mean that you did not create the plants yourself? Not that it particularly matters, Its just that some of the plants are too mono chromatic which makes them look a little fake. Also the ladder at the back seems a bit rushed, lacking detail and the bottles on the table somehow look too much like a default pure glass shader. They could do with a bit of tint and tweaking. I feel that that everything is a bit too perfect in terms of vertical and horizontal edges of walls and placed objects, could do with a bit of inaccuracy to simulate the real world. The lighting however is nice, works very well in this.
Sorry to be critical. I do think this is a very nice piece of work, but it could be so much better with a bit more time spent.

Good luck, and i look forward to your next works.

[agilluk]

evry thing looks great and real except for the ladder in the background. It needs a bit more texture it doesnt really fit becuase it doesnt look as real as the the rest of the magnificent work. amazing. 5 star(fix the ladder)

[hv2]

Nice at all! :thumbsup: i really enjoy to see a very rare scenes like this!
This is exit from the cotoidian "box" ! :wip: so whe whating for a Juan Siquier scene :scream:

[luGher]

8 point for you, congratulation for shading, it's very realistic job, promise me you made the animation of wind in the plant :) byee

Hey man...I recognized this piece from when I saw it in person. You came into Virginia College about a week or two ago. I love your environments man. I was the work-study in the office the day you came in and spoke with Roman. Anyways, I know you're searching for a way to broaden your skills. I'm not going to VC anymore, because that program is falling apart due to bad administration. I'm going to full sail in florida at the end of next month. Just thought I'd let you know. You've got all the skills that VC could possibly give you with a 2 year. But I think it would behoove you to further your education. These images are good, but are still just images. I think the right college could help with going a bit further; with animation amongst many other things. You are in a constantly changing and evolving market. Don't get caught behind the curve. Well good luck in whatever you decide to do!

[Silgrin]

Excellent light and huge attention to details. Well deserved place in the CGChoice Gallery. Congrats:)

[attila]

Awesome work!

I was in Siena 1 month ago.. your image gives me back that feeling, thanks!

[Loulu79]

Is this scene a result of an inspiring real one?

If so damn you're lucky! It looks very italian. So warm and inviting....like coffee!!

I don't know why I said that but....that goes to show you. There aren't any words to describe the coffee, creamy hues, and harmonious nostalgic blends.

No comments and crits from me yet.

Congrats!

[xoranimation]

wonderful :-)

great picture (btw. i love siena !!)

[gary-smith]

[snave]

Very nice render ! nice trees and plants too !

[ononomos]

Awesome work!
Just started using both Xfrog and Vray. The render times are a little crazy, but the set up is a lot less time consuming than "fakeosity".

Look forward to seeing more of your work.

[rockmetalray]

Fantastic work!


6* from me!

[Nehak]

Very good texturing...gives a nostalgic feeling :)

[Nedim_S]

So mild. Wonderful. 5*

[dulixiaoxian]

a wonderfui texture

[Kyo007]

Great lighting, great color, great work, it is very nice :thumbsup:

[t1z10]

Good composition man.
Not bad ;)

[victim335]

Very impressive. It gives the mood. Congratulations! And just wanted to ask some technical questions:
-What do you think about new vray 1.5 sun+sky feature, did you use it or you sticked to a classic approach?
-How many lightsources are there in scene?
-What was the rendering time and what about poly count?

(I don't know whether it's the right place to ask such questions)

[esper77]

victim335, I used Vray 1.47 to render and I haven't tried out 1.5 yet. There are just two light sources in the scene. The sun and one low light source behind the camera. The rendering time was about 7-8 hours if I remember correctly and the poly count was over 3 million and that's mainly because the Xfrog trees are high poly.

[Venus]

very nicely done, man! love the texturing..
good joB!

[Respect]

very nice materials

[Pitipongp]

[gabdab]

Hey Nice :)
I have spent like 4 years in Siena for studying and this brings me back there..
Personally I would have added more of a brown red tone to the picture to recall the old wine scent you can percieve while walking the streets over there..

[newellteapot]

I've been there, the light does look like that!

very nice

[LiveToDesign]

I just couldn't stop starring at this. It made me want to be there. I am shocked it was all done in Max. Great job!

[organicmod01]

[fahadkhan]

You Done a SUPERB Job ....
