Hi everyone !


Quite oddly, I've been practising with Octane on "non-photorealistic" (!!!) imagery.
= I wanted to get that "estate agency picture" feel - something between drawing and realism.
I have to admit that I still have to practise, but I'm quite happy with the result.

Modelled in Sketchup 8 / Postprod in Photoshop

Feel free to comment !


Cheers,

Very nice - I think it achieves that goal very well.

nice!

it seems to me that the render is photoshopped quite heavily?

how did you do the grass?

are the trees alpha plates of added afterwards?

is sky hdri?

@ jamestmather => thanks mate!

@ KaroBastardKiter =>

nice!

thanks!

it seems to me that the render is photoshopped quite heavily?

in photoshop :
1) levelled each R/G/B channel to my taste...
2) added a Lens Glare filter (top left)
3) added a Glow filter to give it a shiny and "romantic" feel
4) downscaled the saturation a bit

how did you do the grass?

1) in Sketchup I put the house on a plane with a grass texture
2) I did 2 renders : one with the house, one without (only the grass)
3) this way i could have 2 layers and mix them in Photoshop (using a clipping mask with a very smooth brush to get a smooth integration)

are the trees alpha plates of added afterwards?

those in the background were added afterwards in photoshop
those behind the camera (that project shadows on the walls) are alpha plates

is sky hdri?

same as above : added afterwards in photoshop
I just used the sun/sky environment in the original render

Hope this helps.
