The balcony view Tweet

I am managing to get the sketchup materials into octane now, i just need to work on some minor issues
comments welcome

Wow that building must be reaaaally high
Good render but some textures are not that good
The tiles on the floor look too tiny versus the rock wall
Also a balcony with that type of rock wall is strange

The top texture of the balcony wall is the same than the side, look strange maybe rotate the top UV
And the texture at the bottom of the tree could be some fine gravel instead of those yellowish rocks

If I look for 2min at the render, I start to notice that the scale is wrong.
Textures wise but also geometry wise, the bench look really tiny I think

That's it for my comment

thanks for comments sam i did the drawing in sketchup to scale then reduced it so that i could import in to blender
the model in blender was half the length of the grid square in blender i am still try ing to figure out scaling in blender any suggestions with scaling for octane

sketchup output in feet

octane in meters

Problem solved, I use that and it works fine.

I've got a 1.5 million poly house with all the details. Texture sizes though I'm upping for ultra detail. So far the model uses up 771mb at 1920x1200 output. The time the rest is added 2gb should just be enough ram. Dont be afraid to increase the details of the models. Curves have to be rounded and textures at least 2048x2048 to remove any fake tiled problems. Specular is ok for varations but tiles need edge variations to make them look real.

Best to use a texture position randomiser (sketchup) for all similar objects in a scene to look unique.
