Autodesk Maya7 & Mental Ray Ctrl Shaders exterior!

[withego]

:dance:
This is an update of the previous mediterranean exterior, using only Mental Ray shaders and Ctrl shaders by Francesca Luce!
Extensive use of Ctrl Shading material.
Misss Fast Skin for the Paint Effects vegetation.
Ctrl Fur and Ctrl Displacement to control fur and displacement on the ground and shores.
Ctrl Buffers to output Ctrl Occlusion Pass, Shadow and ZDepht Passes.
For Shadow and ZDepht passes, I used the P_shadow and P_Zdepht shaders by Ledin Pavel aka Puppet.
To output an alpha mask, I used P_colour_plus_alpha.
Mi_car_paint for the bicycle, L-glass for the windows and water of the pond.
Maya7 Nurbs and Poly Modeling, Mental Ray Area Lights, Hdri Image Based Lighting, Global illumination and Secondary Bounces Final Gather!
Original idea by slipknot66 (Giorgio Adolfo Krenkel).
Modeling, texturing and rendering by Alex Sandri.

This is probably the best Lighting i have ever seen. Do you have a render time,

I'd love to see an animaiton of that scene hehe

nice work.

That is very nice, a little too clean for my liking though.
You could try and dirty up the house walls where the plaster is crumbling, right now it is the same colour and it should really be an underlying texture.
The plants and foliage look great

wow, that is absolutly one of the best exterior renders i've ever seen. Beautiful job there man, but I agree with andoy, u gotta dirty up the walls a bit other than than it's lovely. ur plants are very well done?
Render time?
can u post a wire?

Wow, great modelling and superb rendering.

Incredible job on the lightning looks almost real. I'm very anxious to hear your CPU speed and render time...comparativelly.

Hi guys, I agree that a little dirt could add some realism to the image!
Render time 5/6 hours for beauty pass, plus another 4/5 hour for AO, Shadow and Zdepht pass, on my old 2.8 Athlon with 2 Giga of Ram!
Ciao...!
