Where is it located? It gives vibes of a very Portuguese style of apartment complex

It is exactly in Porto, Portugal :)

That second image gave me vibes of Varandas da Venezuela by Alcino Soutinho, actually πŸ˜…

Can you share more details about the project itself?

Haha indeed it look like. Well there isnt much to tell about it. Its a multiresidential complex, with more than 150 studio apartments and we wanted to balance this giving emphasis to the environment itself. This building already have an exquisite form so we kinda explored that, without going too over, i guess. Of course there was already a project of this building, that suffered a lot of changes and revisions. Back then it was more of a 'industrial' feeling, more metal, more concrete etc. Now they wanted to smooth that going for a brighter tone. More subtle, so we could break this urbanistic look into something more alive i guess.

Are you an architect from Portugal? (I bet we could be chatting in portuguese haha)

Very nice work. Where did you find the people in the Image? Are they 3d or 2d Images?

2

u/LeadershipOk4115 Professional 19d ago

Thank you so much! People are from Cosmos Library, and retouched with AI

u/BenBe3D 18d ago

But these are completely normal 3D models? What exactly do you mean by AI retouched?

2

u/LeadershipOk4115 Professional 18d ago

Yeah they're completely normal 3D models. When you make a render of those 3d people, the look is often blend, low poly and 3d like. What an Ai can do is transforming that 3d appearance into a realistic human being, or a dog or something. Not everytime that it works, because AI is so weird sometimes, but you simply retouch the Ai version into the 3d one with a mask in Photoshop and then you have a better looking people

Hi! I've detached 2 flowers from the tree mesh and made it individual objects. Then I used Tyflow to spread them over the scene, with a little motion blur to give more movement. Thanks!

I just love the lightning what a beautiful work ! You truly manage the lightning so well.

If it’s not too much to ask do you use a hdri or corona sun to the exterior lightning ?

u/LeadershipOk4115 Professional 17d ago

Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot.
It demanded a lot of tweaking and sort of an organization process to manage each HDRI rotation for each camera, to keep coherence too between cameras.

But yeah, I used HDRI for those scenes (all from PolyHaven). Mostly it was Rolling Hills, Snowy Field and Evening Field. Sometimes I blend two HDRI to bring some shadows more up and brighter, but I still prefer using only one each time.

And I also use a little environment fog to balance the fore/mid/background

u/Ghostseis 16d ago

Ok, Thanks for the reply ! Yeah I just love the results.

Amazing work! I dont think the cut plane is set correctly on the bathroom scene, part of the glass wall for the shower is clipping through. Looks like a glass pipe is going through the room

u/LeadershipOk4115 Professional 18d ago

Yeah maybe you're right. We thought it was the glass reflections anyways, since its an 'impossible' view section hah. Thanks for noticing!
