first exterior scene - housing

[mpessoa]

good evening
would like to share this work with you. a few suggestions and criticism would be nice to make it more realistic

First shot: is illuminated with a hdri (texture environment) but how can I get some nice shadows
Second shot: i change the mesh preview environment to daylight

The second looks much better. Mabe you could put the light source a little bit down to make the shadows more dramatic. You could also add a white plane behind the camera to bounce the light and iluminate the dark areas.
Very good job. Congrats..

I also want to know how did you do the grass

@thiago: thanks for the suggestions with the white plane i will try it. what about the shadows of the white plane? Unfortunately, there is no switch for casting shadows.

the grass topic: i was inspired by Maciek and have even played a bit around. just used a simple plane, copy and rotate them a little scale in the z-direction, and then use a grass image + alpha.

so, that´s the secret

the only problem with this technique is the point of view (camera angle) and sometimes the direction of the light source.
