Colonial Home

Attached is a rendering of a Colonial style home that I designed. Everything was modeled and rendered in ACA 2009.

Very nice. When can I move in? I like the choice of colors too.

Very well done. To jazz it up a bit more I would consider adding some clouds to the sky (just to give it some life) and see if you can add some material to the driveway. The large grey slab caught my eye first and took a little bit away from the main actor in that show and that's the great looking house you have there.

Thanks
Jay

To add to what Jay has suggested.
If I may suggest, the front yard looks a little small. A bigger tree on the right hand side might help to frame out the image. On another suggestion, you may want to try and adjust the bump on your stone work. While the color and pattern look nice, it looks to flat IMHO.
Overall great work. :beer:

Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys. Jay, I agree with you about the driveway and the sky. However, I've found that when I add an image background the rest of the image suffers. I get the best results when I use "sun & sky illumination". I could add a sky post-render but I don't have photoshop or anything like it. In regards to the stone, can someone tell me why the stone looks a whole lot better in the shadows than in the light? I agree it looks a little flat, but when I increase the bump I get horrible distortion.
