The mirror reflections of the first image would be for my clients not acceptable. Still images needs to be nearly perfect.
Im architecture designer ( freelance ) for the bungalow house around 4000-5000 sqft, building, ( small to medium scale project ). I do floor plan and the concept of the house. When client agree, I will pass my design to architect department for submission drawing etc.
Building / house design + simple interior + exterior landscape + fencing. I need to finish atleast 2 design in a week. In 2 week I can finish 4 design, and another 2 week I will off to spent time with my family, picnic, fishing or gaming.
My client dont care about the mirror reflection problem in the image. What they care is.. COST, PRACTICALITY, CONCEPT, THEME. It is good practices for you to provide nearly perfect render to client. Good for you. Hope you make good money then.
I switched from 3DSmax to sketchup
- because i can model faster
- easy measuring while design something
- the sketchup viewport is presentable to client. discuss and measure
I switched from Vray & Octane to Enscape
- no more wasting time ( take hours for ONE 'nearly perfect' image? no thanks )
- no more test n error ( Enscape - what you see in viewport is what you gonna get )
- render as much as you want.. since it very fast
- save as exe so you can use it for presentation/share ( its about 70% like UE4 )
