My WiP. I just start my old scene again....I will play with some ideas. Scene is empty with horizons trees as texture.

Wooow! very nice grass and texturing!

Utterly brilliant! The texturing is amazing. The slight glossiness of the painted steel is really subtle!

light texture grass amazing
A teacher for all !

I like the well balanced light and the way the light falls on the grass.

Superb work!

Superb work!

later I will share my grass on forum. I have some ideas how make it more realistic.

some updates:

Very realistic!
Do you use a panorama surrounding as enviroment?

Now are real trees. previous renders has panorama with clip map.

Althought I think you ruin your renders with the strong color Halos, your renders are amazing!
Would worth showing the Vray community what's possible and also post on NT forums!

This looks like slightly tweaked Farnsworth House.....great renders.

I know is a bit candy (I like it!...I am bored by renders with poor colour, of coarse I like B/W also.)
When quality will be enough I will show ... but now still I want some additional in Kray which will increse quality (displacement, new GI, update tonemping, instance from textures...)

I don't dislike candy renders but I think it needs a little more work to do it better. You have hight expectations on your own work which pushes things and people further!!! you just should do the same with your PS :p
In Fact It's just the big coloured halos that look weird and too opaque and saturated (believe me I'm a graphic designer :p)

i want some displacements too!!! and better instances, but we have to be proud, there are a lot of better renders over here thanks to you and some others!
We just have to show that there are other solutions than Max - Vray!!! And good ones!

Thanks!
it is very hard make good render (must be good composition of textures, objects, light, postproces...so sometimes I experiment)
Yes, I agree: displacement and new instance correction for GI engine and tonemaping.I am realy put Kray over 100% possibility...but sometimes we can`t jump over: LIMITS....

When you say such things, I feel so far behind!
I can't imagine hitting Kray's boundaries!
What do you mean by correction for GI engine?
You're right about experimentation. There are a lot of good examples of photographers doing great job at retouching and creating amazing unique looks.
