Ah yes that looks much better! I kind of like the idea of a painting on 4wtc now

[Otie]

What I love about glass buildings is that they change according to the sun, environmental factors and more importantly the angle.

Bloody hell that is some reflections! :O Amazing work Otie!

[JMGV196]

Lovely But in my opinion the reflection WTC 4 is a little bit too much

[Otie]

^I'd say is pretty well spotted on, the glass at 4WTC is one of the most reflective of its type you'll ever find due to the high levels of iron, this thing can compete with the Cloud Gate in Chicago with no problem..

Though need to find a way to make it with higher levels of transparency at the diffuse layer when the sun hits directly the glass, too bad some natural phenomenons need to be recreated manualy in the CGI world.

Not bad, not bad... I like renders.

[pingyao]

Looking good, I love your technical descriptions of how you are experimenting and improving the renders.

[Otie]

Maybe the most complicated model I've ever done.

what an incredibly realistic render!

[Mike____]

Probably the most realistic render i've seen here!

[xdexina]

Great work Otie..

Are you modelling the transit hub? can we see some renders of it soon?

[Otie]

Of course I'm modeling it !! It won't be as accurate as I was expecting due to the lack of info aviable over the Internet... but every vertex should be located within a 3ft interval of error. Due to the complexity of the whole hub, 3D model won't be finished until next month. Also, need to finish the real model first, so stay tunned!

[Otie]

First try with composite rendering, need to improve alot!

amazing renders otie, i wish i could render like you, i still use artlantis and sketchup for my projects

[mwahmed]

You are the master of Architects. Brilliant work.

I think the effect is good but the bird really lets it down. Are you using Kerky to do this or Photoshop? Try using different tolerances on the magic wand tool to get a cleaner selection, and maybe find a sharper foreground image if the background's going to be so blurred.

Your window reflections look great - is it possible on Kerky to make windows semi reflective/semi transparent so you can see through them into the interior but also get the reflections of neighbouring buildings?

[WZP]

Impressive work except the bird that is included with difficulty in the last render.

[Otie]

Thanks for the feedback, guys, that's the type of comments I would like to hear. Anyways improving skills at Photoshop. Quite difficult to match the sun and weather conditions at both render & photo.

I use Vray and Photoshop. I'm learning how the magic wand works, thanks for the tip! Reflectiveness and transparency are two different properties that aren't opposite, even the most transparent glass has a degree of reflection.

Second try:

WOw! Excellent work! very realistic, very detailed and super quality! you are the best for this!
