An Old Street Scene - Tip of the Week

This scene comes from Archexterios vol. 36 - a collection of ten restaurant exterior scenes for 3ds Max an V-Ray.

Final rendered scene - an old town street with restaurant front and small tea garden. Warm colors are achieved by sun and sky system (sun is in low position).

This scene is lit by Vray light - settings on the right. As you can see, we didn't model the whole buildings, just the front elevations with all needed details.

The right wall consists of various elements grouped together - windows, frames, balcony, etc.
