Breakdown of an exterior scene from Archexteriors vol. 29.

This exterior is a part of Evermotion's Archexteriors vol. 29 collection. Archexteriors vol. 29 is a one big scene that includes full house with 9 interiors, several exterior cameras, vegetation, outside buildings and a dozens of props. This is the most complete and coherent visualization of big area - great resource scene for anybody that needs to present some suburbian house or nice villa. There is even a harbour and a boat!

Photoshop layers and post-production. Above raw render layer we placed hue / saturation layer that changes hue (+11) and lightness (+32) of the sky. The next layer gives sharpness to an image. The next 6 layers are passes blended with screen mode (reflection, specular, refraction, lighting, GI, atmosphere, sun). Over them we placed vignette layer, color balance to increase yellows and curves on top to bring back the contrast.
