This is very nice modelling, and feels like a south facing Bavarian house-- someplace in die Berge, sud von Munchen (sorry, my German is atrocious). I really like the wooden balustrades, the landscaping, the reflection in the second story windows. Also the downspout is a very convincing detail that gets out of a lot of models. To make it better? Better textures. The grass, in particular, is very uniformly green. . .real grass is a mix of grass and dirt, with something of a falloff (depending on the angle, you see more grass or more dirt). Some fallen leaves, a muddy patch, some mold on the garage wall, some rust from the downspout bleeding onto the wall. I never use a "pure" texture for anything natural. . .look at any "real world" texture, and its a mix-- cracks, dirt, and so on. The eye is very quick to catch things that are too perfect Skymap. The sky texture looks stretched-- is this a photo dropped into the environment slot? Another technique is to spherically distort such a photo in Photoshop, and then apply to a skydome-- this will produce an "unstretched" photo. Sharp edges-- the modelling looks too "sharp"-- the corners of a stucco'd house are beveled and soft --using a chamfer box instead of a box primitive will do this. . .or in your existing model, applying a meshsmooth modifier to the edge vertices (only) This sounds like a lot of criticism, but its a very good model-- very detailed, and with a lot of interesting ideas. Its worth putting the best textures on it and seeing what they do.

thx for your advice. I just replaced the pic with new version (hope improvement is visble :-)

Yeh, deffinitly a big improvement. The grass looks fantastic and I like the dirt on the garage now. Excellent work.

congratz on your work there, and yeah, long time no see!!!!!

Amazing the structures of houses in another country. Beautiful photo and thanks for sharing:)
