This is my first render in octane.. I would like to gather advices and and comments regarding my render..

Is it look like realistic?

Thanks,

JTC

Nice image. I see two problems though : the red car is not smoothed and there is a problem with the alpha of the palm tree on the right side of the image.

Beside that it is a nice scene.

Audi A4/A6:
- needs smooth
- reflection on wind shield?
- headlights

The House:
- more detail, different approach to modelling (corners are too sharp)
- more textures/better use of texture.
- windows? reflections in glass?
- ground (texture variation or bump, it is too flat.)

GMC Truck:
- The white seen through the glass on the driver side is distracting.
- car body paint with blown out highlight is also distracting

Lighting:
- Try to have the light hit the building at an angle, it will create a more interesting look than just the house in shadows.

Hope you can make something of my post, first post here. ^_^
I bought Octane today, still waiting for my licence and stuff.

Thank you for the advices..

As you've said the corners are too sharp.. How can i reduce the sharpness of the corners? Sorry if i'm too noob with using octane..

I'm a noob too! ^_^

For the corners to be less sharp maybe 'bevel' the corners in your modelling package?
( I don't know any other terminology, I come from a Maya background )
The idea is you want to smooth the corners of objects slightly so when rendered it doesn't appear too perfect..
( this applies for all rendering I guess )
In conjunction with good texturing and nice bump or normal maps, you can make it look more natural,
in turn softer on the eyes.

Good luck!

Thanks for helping! I'm Gladly appreciated it..

it looks like your scale is off. The house is tiny compared to the vehicles.
