Architectural visualisation

Residential exterior

Model built in Autodesk 3d Studio Max, rendered in Brazil version 1.2 with HDRI map from Dosch Design.
Foliage from Archvision.

Lighting is a combination of HDRI through the skylight and a Brazil disk light with diameter set to a medium diameter to provide shadow fall-off from sharp to diffuse. Although this helps the realism of the image, it does impact the rendering times.

High resolution file is 4000 x 3000 pixels and was distributed using the Backburner 'split scanline' option across 6 dual 2.8ghz rendering servers.
