Street Sweep
Now THIS is my best render yet. The difference--using blender on my laptop for extra control. It was super easy to set up thanks to the Mecabricks add-on. The biggest benefit was the ability to use Linear ACES color managment. The colors seem much sharper and more in-line with photos of real bricks. The only issue is I couldn't get subsurfs onto the curvier parts, so just don't look too closely at them. (Also, my "studio lighting" setup needs work)
For the build, this is a bit cyberpunky/hibernia-y that I've had sitting around for a bit waiting to be rendered. I used it as a test model because it is a whole lot smaller and simpler than the others I've been posting. The model is based on some concept art from somewhere or someplace. One of those cyberpunk video games maybe, but who's ever heard of those...
