Balconies, Old San Juan

3ds Max, Vray. Architectural Exterior.

Old San Juan, one of my favorite places in Puerto Rico. The mix of Spanish colonial architecture, contemporary colors in a tropical environment was sufficient inspiration for me to create this image. Surely, it will be a theme that I will visit in the future. Again, comparing the time I had invested in drawing the 3D objects against the creation of the materials, the materials took about ¾ of my efforts. I took my time in creating the textures of the walls. A very complex texture using composite materials with procedural Bercon Noise fractals. Surely the best detail of the image. I resisted in presenting the buildings as if they were recently painted, that would be easy. I remember walking thru the streets, seeing the dust accumulation on the buildings and I took it as a challenge.
