[Updated!] [WIP] Archviz concept - The Gallery

Silohx

Hello all! Hope you are well!

Here is an update of a project I'm working on. It is largely untextured, just been working on the lighting and models for now. Just wanted some opinions about the design or the lighting in this early stage of this development. 

Here is a link to my other works! https://www.artstation.com/artist/silohx
Thanks to Ja5on for the artwork!: http://ja5on.deviantart.com/

Thank you!

lighting is really nice , I think it needs some more props and color added to the scene but overall I really like the lighting , but the scene where the grass is showing theirs this glitch in the lighting or so , and fix the grass (Better modeling ) I would really like to see more color in this scene but I guess that when you texture it

@Abe_Azel Thanks for your comment! The grass is fully dynamic and I have disabled casting shadows on it for performance reasons until I find a way to get it working better, also it should look better when I add a normal map to it. I have a few more props to add so should fill it out better. The colours I will look into when texturing it.

I would add planar reflections if you want such a smooth continuous floor.

@somedoggy Thank you, I'll look into it! Didn't know there we're other options to render reflections.

Latest WIP! What do you guys think

@somedoggy I looked at planar reflections and it will not do for my scene as it only supports one value for roughness and my material will eventually have a roughness map. Thanks anyway!

My bad! I didn't know until just the other day that it was such a limited feature :P

Floor is too smooth in my opinion.  I like a nice clean reflection as much as the next guy, but at this point, I cant tell what details are floor details and what are ceiling details being reflected.  In some shots my eyes were tricking me into thinking that the floor was glass and I could see the floor below.

@somedoggy Nahh that's fine there had to be a compromise to it somewhere lol, I did check the planar reflections out on my project though they do look very nice but they are not for what I need. It seems to be more suited for mirrors or water based reflections. Thanks for recommending it though i have learned from it.

@gsokol Thank you for pointing that out! Didn't realise the floor could look like glass and show a floor below and that is actually a cool idea! As of right now the environment is pretty much untextured and I just added that material in quickly to help visualise how the project will look. I will be adding a roughness map to break up the reflections a bit so that will be all sorted at some point.
