  1. Hi Steve What was the site you mentioned in one of your posts where I can download free HDRI scenery and people. I did download just about all your backdrops- water splashes- shadow trees-etc. but mid September I had a computer virus which knocked out my CA program and all the downloads I had taken from you.. BTW Thanks thanks Steve
  2. thanks Jim good idea - where to find people !!
  3. I thank you all for your comments - this forum is soo good. This client sent me their plans, also the materials and colors they wanted for the exterior as well as the window style... I'm liking the idea of people, cars etc,,, CA only has silhouettes.. where can I get people ... I am going to follow all of your suggestions Thanks a lot -- 60% of my renderings are exterior so I'm really wanting to get it as good as I can is there a particular version of PIXPLANT I should download
  4. Hi I've attached a screen shot of an exterior rendering I did for a client. Can someone tell me if this is good and how I can improve on my rendering techniques. Guessing its a mix of lighting and adjustments plus I notice the various backdrops make a huge difference in the overall color effect .. Am I on the right track?? all advice is welcome Many thanks Levina

  9. this is not for practice..I am not an architect I am a designer,, I do not build houses but can do floor plans and design simple houses. Mostly I create 3D models and rendering service from clients house plans and assist them with adding various materials and colors to the exteriors and interiors so they can see the concept idea before they order products. Been doing this for many years but every now and then a roof comes along that I just cant get it, maybe its a blind spot or my brain - not sure - some of you are probably laughing at this and I don't blame you ha ha Anyway I've loaded the plan with my errors left in so you can see I tried.. If some one can assist that's great I am willing to pay -- Thanks in advance for this forum and its help Levinasample of messy roof.plan sample of messy roof.plan
  10. This is not practice. Clients send me their house plans so I can build it and show them the various siding and roofing options colors materials etc with so many options for people its sometimes hard to make a decision without seeing it on their your home then they can order the siding etc knowing how its going to look . I have a clot of client that do this. the architect does the design and I create the look. its just that this roof has me stumped
