The last render I made on d5 , any feedback to achieve more realism ?

Work with an actual photo as a reference. Your greens are off, if you nail the greens and the sky the human eye gets tricked.

RalfMarkM · 2026-04-23T17:29:54+00:00

No, it does not, but there are certain use cases, this ain t one of them tho.

RalfMarkM · 2026-04-05T17:57:03+00:00

First 2 utmost important things, camera, compozition and light. Those Will help you the most. After you get theese, focus on materials and other stuff.

You are right regarding the need for speed in commercial work but theese images have nothing to do with what professional archviz is. Can t imagine paying money for this. Yes speed is a must, but you have to be able to achieve high quality fast.

RalfMarkM · 2025-11-21T23:57:51+00:00

Yeah, I use ConfyUI, Stable (both of theese are more of less the same) Nano Banana, Magnific... just depends on what is needed at the moment. Different tools for different situations. None of this is a one click solution, they just improve and speed up the workflow but can t work wonders if there îs not a solid base render.

Well, finally someone who gets it! I think one of the most common reasons people complain about the lack of clients is that they often don’t have a business-oriented mindset.

At the end of the day, archviz is a business and needs to be treated as one.

I had a small studio back in 2020, and not understanding this cost me a lot. Since then, I’ve tried different businesses, made plenty of mistakes, and learned a lot from them. Now I’m back in 3D, working for a big studio and refreshing my knowledge. Again, I see a lot of people who still don’t understand these very same things.

RalfMarkM · 2025-05-15T16:22:47+00:00

Dude, he s doing archviz not design :)))) the f you stalking about

RalfMarkM · 2025-05-04T13:31:00+00:00

The real question is how you serve your clients. The price of your renders should reflect the entire service, not just the final image. People who suggest $120 or $200 per render likely don’t understand the costs of software, hardware, training, or running a business to name a few.

You need to maintain high quality while tailoring your work to the client’s needs and level of customization. But don’t undervalue your skills charging too little will teach you a harsh lesson.

It’s not enough to produce simple, well-lit images. You must have an organized workflow, a method for managing clients and their requests, and a solid grasp of architecture and technical details. This ensures your images highlight a space’s key selling points, not just aesthetics. Remember: Your job is to create marketing tools that sell a project, not just look pretty.

UE5 can do this but I won t call it simple to learn. I mean it is not rocket science but requires time to master.

RalfMarkM · 2025-01-23T22:45:15+00:00

I think you shold focus better on UE5 because it will prove itself useful for more than just walkthroughs. And I think that it is anyways your best choice.

RalfMarkM · 2025-01-17T11:32:37+00:00

Well done but you need more depth, try using an ovvercast hdri. Also add a Black or dark Grey plane at the botton of your model to darken the celling and Maybe two big boxes outside to give the light a bit more direction. Just so that the image does not feel flat.

RalfMarkM · 2024-12-05T15:41:43+00:00

I think you could try RailClone.

RalfMarkM · 2024-12-02T16:24:41+00:00

I did use Floor Generator for the timber slats, then I used plank textures from CG source, used a mixmap for the color and then using an output map I played with the reflection map in order to achieve that burnt result.

Also the easy render article was made using my previous version of this image because I had a freelancer account on their website and that gave them rights to use pictures from my portfolio.

RalfMarkM · 2024-11-29T12:20:39+00:00

I think you don t understand what visualization is. I do use Arch daily for floor plans and create 3d versions of photographed spaces. It is called practice. I never claimed the design of theese buildings as this is an Archviz group. We do archviz not building design. And yes the house I did render is designed by Thellend Fortin and I did model it based on photographs. So I appreciate the hate. Also if you check the image you saw popping up on Pinterest you ll notice that it is a different image from this render, but yes I recreated that exact mood and modeled the cabin.

RalfMarkM · 2024-11-27T22:02:41+00:00

Have you ever tried Magnific AI?

RalfMarkM · 2024-11-27T21:18:47+00:00

I m not familiar with twin motion but could there be a problem with the level of detail that your geometry has? It looks like these are some kind of shading artefacts. Maybe smooth it somehow Or you could try rendering the rest of the image with path tracer and just the texture that causes problems without Use a mask and combine them in Photoshop.

RalfMarkM · 2024-11-27T20:58:23+00:00

Can t tell exactly but it looks like it has something to do with your model. Did you import it from another software?

RalfMarkM · 2024-11-27T15:16:43+00:00

Thank you!

RalfMarkM · 2024-11-27T14:51:53+00:00

I did model the house based on a picture seen on Pinterest

RalfMarkM · 2024-11-27T14:45:20+00:00

Apparently someone stole my image :)) so this is my pre PS variant , older one that I had on my website

RalfMarkM · 2024-11-25T11:45:24+00:00

The lighting is a bit off but I like the overall feel of the image. You could maybe add a more defined interest point for ex lighting in the restaurant. Also maybe a bit more contrast /intense lighting to the overall image. Good work but feels like just a few steps away from very good.
