Fall has come late, my home sitting on the riverside bank, without any bridge connection it seems very far away, Dream river was the connection but with lots of imagination. Imagine how it is like to be home. Fall is the color that makes makes the atmosphere much warmer and cozy, makes me feel like home is the only place to be with love.

Software and equipment used

3dsmax, V-Ray, Forestpack, Megascans, Photoshop

But I am still struggling if I should add a balance human figure at the front of the camera or not! Oh my! I need another cup of coffee!!

First, In Postproduction, I start with adjusting very material by element, then I start adding some detail and finally finalized with some LUT and tweaks!

So the image was render with V-RAY Cloud, I have to admit it its very nice to have the image render on the cloud while I can have a cup of coffee to gain energy for my post-production party!

the scene is quite heavy but thanks to forestpack I manage to get a lot of optimization to the scene. the foreground is filled with wild grass to show the loneliness of the human figure (maybe at the foreground).

At the end I decided to take away my HDRI sky because I want more flexibility to change my sky alpha at post-production, by excluding all the glass and refract material I can see how the lighting effects to the whole scene without wasting time to render materials.

Now I am starting to adjust the camera and fit to the composition to my image plan, with some rough landscape modeling and the water. It starting to get into shape!

Well the first try was not the best, but It was the starting point where I get to gather some of the materials (megascans) to make this image happen! Also, the shaders of the villa were apply already.

The leafs model were from megascans library, it was introduced very simply with some bending

some quick and rough sketch of the image planning, and I think I’ve found the HDRI that best fits the mood of the image.

Villa P from archidaily, the model is built from scratch based on the photograph and the plan. a little bit of Railclone for the railings and lots of floor generator for the facade. it was quite challenge because considering all the details the grout and so on. Fortunately it is finish with a simple landscape modeling

I really like this building from N+P architecture

Later I will get on to the landscape modeling and texture with lighting… but before I need to start and get into the composition, reference finding, and storytelling.
