Exterior Material Composition

Made a quick exterior rendering to show colors of materials for the client.

Fairly monochrome, but still a nice composition. How did you do the metal roof's standing seams?

Made a small extruded roof based piece for the high part of the standing seam, than arrayed it across the area that was in view.

We build mostly commercial, and 9 out of 10 we have standing seam roofs in our projects. I have never had luck with a rendering with a image trying to depict standing seam roofs, bump map stuff, just way faster to extrude a piece just for the rendering than let the .pat take care of the documents.

I have recently done that as a glazed roof. create mullions to represent the standing seams, and change the glass panels to something solid. A bit rough on the inside, but a quick and easy approach on the outside as you have so much control over how the seams are spaced out, and much easier as the roof goes around corners etc!
