I’ve finally completed the rendering of the residential tower. I’ve ran another render output from Kerkythea rendering system taking into consideration the lighting requirement and where possible locating the camera in the right spot where I consider as the vantage viewpoint to get the best perspective view. In addition to this, is the positioning of the building or main subject of the composition in the intersection or near the third vertical line according to the “Rule of Third” for effective composition. As I’ve said earlier in my previous posts, my intention of rendering this project is not to have a full render from Kerkythea rendering system but instead adding the entourage such as trees, cars, people and other landscape elements through post-processing. Post-processing, in rendering context, refers to the use of other softwares after the rendering of the model was completed by the main rendering software. Post-processing includes image editing to color temperature, saturation, scaling and pixel adjustments. I acquired those non-copyrighted images from internet and added in the base image layer using Photoshop. Lighting condition, color temperatures and saturation were adjusted accordingly using Photoshop editing features to ensure these image elements match with the color and saturation of the base image.
(Image below: Detail of the area on left of the main image above.) The entourage looks complete with the addition of fountain, grassy areas and surrounding tree foliage.
