The Agri Chapel - Japan - , by the architect Yu Momoeda is a wooden structure chapel designed using a fractal structure system.
Innit amazing ?
Yeah, they don't have the same background. Icouldn't decide which to choose, and couldn't find any suitable btw, whatev 
No PS or any postprocessing.
That is one way to spy on one's neighbours indeed 
What is the texture you use for the walls ? I friggin struggling to find good exterior wall texture, making my rendering unreal, unlike yours
The wet road makes me w*t as well 
, i'm jealous of your skills
wunderbar and for sure a new entry for my personal Hall of Fame!
Genuinely glad to be in someone's hall of fame :x:x:x
Very cool project!! 👍
I wouldn't use the background environment since the horizon line doesn't match the model. Maybe better you add a background in postwork.
Thanks for the tips. i can't even texture&light right for a rendering, so postworking is another step beyond 
Glad you enjoy it, was a fun ride scratching my head on how to model it*. I'll upload a white render in another angle.
* Only to find out afterwards that the same exact solution was on the interwebs already, duh !
... no real help
(I would love to see model screen shots and a white mode render?)
Oh sorry, i thought you wanted to see the real Art of Escher !
care to share a picture of the model itself? I'd love to see it!
Here you go :
Still can't texture or light efficiently to make it look more real than it currently is, bugger !
Here is the real jam
That's encouraging reading you Herbo , no doubt
Nice project! Not a good going-to-bed routine though.
Indeed 
Woow, quite a help. Thanks a bunch Herbo I think the main problem is i have no "eyes" when it comes to render stuff. I can build anything but i'm sh*t rendring it. I didnt think any minute that i had to get a photo training of any sort, i thought it was more like "draw as much details as you can, then apply real quality textures, shoot up the render engine and voila". i noticed i spend way more time trying to render something than drawing the whole da*n building.
It's kinda depressing when you spend a lot of time drawing (yes, i say "drawing" in sketchup) and when you render, you see it sh*tty like that.
I really need to focus on texturing stuff better, setting up the scene, rendering.
The repetitiveness and imperfections you can see on the red bricks and wall plaster are ok to me because the rendrs aren't meant to be that close to the building, i plan to stay at 5 meters min away from the building. Or maybe I'm wrong, again.
I'm not a great fan of camera shots as if you were a bird. I prefer as if it were pictures taken from the ground, by a 1.80m tall guy.
While i won't post in the showcase forum (i'm ashamed), here are some more pics, this is my country house I spend the weekends and holidays at.

First of all, thanks for checking it up, I really appreciate that
HDRi, OK then, imma try some to see if it changes anything
Regarding the grass, i know it looks way off. the design is a WIP, i just added some "ground" in order to sit the house on something rather than flying in the air
What can you say about the house itself ?
Hello all,
I'm having my next project, and spent a lot of time texturing and stuff. When i check how it goes at rendering, it looks off, not real-like at all, i don't know what to do better.
All textures have bumps/reflections and so on when relevant. They all are at least 4K. I even draw brick by brick in some area of the building.
I'm pretty sure it's mainly due to lighting and visual settings, and i'm no expert at all - ok i suck - in that part.
Here are some closeup of the whole rendered image.
What do i do wrong ? it's a bit dreadful when you spend hours trying to do something neat.
I like it, looks peaceful and cosy. One thing i can say is that i think there's too much of the same look-a-like materials around the dining table (second pic after the vid), it feels like they all are blended together.
Still amazes me how it looks real. I still can't achieve that kind of rendering, i dunno what i do wrong.
