Hello,

This project is currently on hold while the architects change the whole scheme but I got this rendering done before the big changes. It's a student center for a university, specifically the student lounge with lots of colored glass and light.

I got the massing model in SketchUp format from the architects, remodeled and detailed everything in Blender and post-processed in Photoshop (blending a couple of different exposures, color toning, adding background, etc.).

Comments/crits appreciated!

Looks really nice Tom :)

Only critic is maybe the sky on the left (not the buildings).
Maybe the coloring top > blue, bottom > orange is a little to strong for my taste, but thats maybe only me :)
Regarding the noise I think it even gets some photo look to the image!

Did you use the new ArchGlass feature of 2.6.1 for this rendering?

Thanks :) This was rendered just before 2.6.1. I have yet to try it with the ArchGlass acceleration and I'm hoping that will speed things up considerably as this had to render for about 18hrs or so...

It's pretty, pretty nice Tom, good job !

My ctitic goes to the wood saturation; it is somehow dimming the panels effect.

That's a good looking image. Makes the design look very inviting.

Great render, Tom. I like the contrast between colorful parts and darker parts - it creates very nice atmosphere.

Yep. Tom has got himself another strong front page contender here.

Outstanding!
