Hey    jc -

Hey.  I'm just gonna take a second to respond.  The bottom does not have a texture yet.  In fact, the architect is coming in today to show my what kind of material it is.  There's also a copper stripe there that doesn't seem to show up well at this point.  The roof texture, to this point, is just a map with no bump yet.  For speed of rendering sake i left it off for now.

I'll add contrast.  I think the issue is the lighting system.  It's currently just standard lighting...no GI and shadows at 70%.  Both will be improved.  I was nervous about using GI intially because of the amount of detail in the building and amount of glass.  I'll eventually move it to GI...just not yet.

I'll take note of the golfer suggestion.  I tried to make it look like he just got out and was on the other side of the cart on his way to his clubs.  I'll also eventually have an ecosystem of grass too...again for rendering time's sake, it's left off in this version.

I appreciate your comments jc.
