damn it i didnt think anyone would notice!!

I love seeing this level of detail in arch models, especially as it's rarely needed or justified for most arch work. SU transformed one of my least favourite arch tasks (resolving complex details) into one of my favourites and it's a joy to see someone else using it to great effect for the same purpose. Nice clear renders too.

I have animated it with iClone , its just a rough idea as to how it works. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HV1QyEJt4t4

now you should call master solo....

Another stunning Render Pete !!!!

I think you need to match the colours of your background image to the render. Add some blues and greens because at the moment the bus stop greys are very neutral (if you get me). Try and overlay a very feint gradient from green to blue. you may wanna try faking some reflections too. hope this helps.

Thanks, all! I am searching more info about old cities, maps of ancient cities, roads, etc. because i dont know too much how to put the buildings all together...

@d12dozr said: tolieolson, Is this in the Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary? Well the building is supposed to be on the edge of the sanctuary, not actually in it. I should note that this was a class assignment and for our purposes, we assumed that the warehouse that was currently occupying the site did not exist. @chris fullmer said: They look great, and the general photoshop work is very nice. I think they look a little out of scale though - the firs photoshop image especially. The people need to scale down a little or the building a litle bigger or something. But it appears the people will not fit into the entrance without hitting their heads Great work! I really appreciate the kind words, Mr. Fullmer. As for scale and the height of the people in the images, their scale is actually correct. Where I think some confusion may lie is that, while it's not completely discernible from the images I've shown, a visitor must go down a set of stairs or take a ramp down to the main entrance. This 'walking down' to the entrance may seem cumbersome, but it really isn't given that it's a height difference of only 5 feet. So what you're seeing in the first image is not the entire height of the building. Perhaps I should provide a floor plan and section to clear this matter.

Really nice What's your next project?

Meh, I don't mind the gray myself. Just looks like a studio setup which I think works ok since they're just exhibition stands and are meant to stand alone anyway. Maybe a glossy white would brighten it up a bit and give it more of a contemporary ipod sort of feel. Really like the dresser! -Brodie

Sean, If you want to make glass without using refraction, then just apply a Standard Max material and use the opacity and specular controls. Vray renders standard materials very well. Also using VrayLightMaterial in max is the same as using and emmisive layer in V4SU, I believe.

Modelhead, Nice to see some of your work again. Based on your laundry room image - your customer obviously has some cash to spend. I just priced a deck project that came in @ more than 2.5x the cost of treated lumber for Trex. Nice product though, and I like the concept of not using wood. Bytor

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. It was actually quite a bit of fun doing this! Although there is a bit of dodgy photoshopping here and there! I only used normal reflectivity Sid, no blur.I just added noise etc after. It seemed to pick up the colours a bit better. I recommend it if you are feeling bored one day with nothing to do. Or maybe just get drunk, I dunno.

superb texturing. honestly, at first I didn't believe you that this image is just SketchUp. thought it was a rendering.

.

I like them, they look very very good.

first image is awesome! the simplicity of the building really works... great graphic quality to it... and the yellow tone/grain..
