Thanks, it was mentioned to me earlier but I forgot to change it. This project isn't going to go away anytime soon so I am going to fix it in future renderings.

thanks for comments @rcossoli said: the two images are renders? The truth seems to be a first photo, are very well made textures, I congratulate you. VRay is not? yes , I use vray @marked001 said: pretty sure there are containers on formfonts.... not sure about 3dwarehouse...they're out there though! looks great though. no no , as I said already, this model I 've downloaded in 3dwarehouse of dandis yes, thanks dandis for his very good model

Adam The reason i was able to do it quick is because I only animated four frames (all that was needed) and I lowered the render quality to final and reduced the output size. I had a 64 bit installation last year but changed back to 32 bit due to too many issues of campatability, Since then many apps have begun supporting 64 bit, I plan to upgrade to a new I7 dual quad soon which will be a 64 bit rig. So in answering you I would say yes 32 bit rendering will be slightly slower, however I use 5 rigs on a render cow configuration which makes the difference un-noticable. The .skp importer works okay (not great) I still prefer using .3ds export, but that's more because I am stuck in a tested workflow. Please ask me anything, I will do my best to help.

Going from cigarets to pills and drugs . (I am not into those BTW) This is a bit Off-topic, as I did this animation in Cinema4D . I hope that is not a problem just for this time...: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWf_GBEr6GQ&fmt=18 [flash=640,400:1zh8hjdq]http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2752527&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1[/flash:1zh8hjdq]

excellent model bytor, keep up the good work!

exellent render and super model!

really interesting feature Solo. Do you have a rendering where you've used that ecosystem? -Brodie

Thanks, Boo, but when I posted the same size stuff last week this didn't happen (and my post this AM is the only time I've seen it anywhere so far ?~) Oh well, got it now.

Couple more with some new brick and a couple of other tweaks. [image: qH0k_robatto-chalet-945-6.jpg] [image: 3JQP_robatto-chalet-945-5.jpg] Xfrog Public trees from KT. Acme brick textures used with the Brick-Jag material.

fymoro I Think you have done a great job on this image, very realistic looking. I do agree that the tile on the far side need to be aligned and after hearing that comment I noticed that the tile on the near side is (slightly) misaligned as well. I agree that changing the field of view is an important thing but in this image the first thing I noticed is that the field of view is off a bit. To me, it looks as if the columns are leaning outward. I usually use a setting of 35. One last comment is that the trumpet appears to be floating just a bit. I think it would actually rest on three points, (for lack of better terms since I know nothing about musical instraments) I think the mouth piece would rest on the ground as well. Other then that, GREAT work!!

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR... LETS MAKE IT AN AMAZING 2009:P

Darren, thank you...and as Gai (your check's in the mail, BTW :`) said, I think I've posted here all the trees in this image: search me and tree or trees. If there's one you can't find I'd be happy to share, just let me know.

Ok ! And "bravo" again for this great drawing!

Hi Fred I rode what Gaius has written and I agree too. May be you may also focus on books which seem to be copies of the same group. You could rotate them. Quite impressive work MALAISE

thanks guys. ya, i attended the same school as syd mead. his influence is written on everyone that comes out of that place! but thanks again. I will post more stuff as I make it. have a great NYE!

that looks great nice job

thats looks cool

Nice modeling and rendering, Eddy. About the glass, that texture looks great when there's a sky backdrop that matches it, as it appears like the sky is reflected in the windows. It almost works in the first image, but thee sky has fewer clouds and is lighter than the glass image. In the courtyard view, one would expect to see the opposite walls reflected inthe windows, so seeing the sky insttead looks odd. You might try a dark gray glass, adjusting the transparency, and then setting it's reflectancy in Podium. You miht also want to find a new grass texture - that pale green doesn't look natural.

Nice modeling and detailing. Two minor issues: in the first image, the wood grain on the jamb should be running vertical, not horizontal; and in the last image, the bump texture on the rake should be running parallel to it's slope, not horizontal.

Good start, Rasmus. You might want to try wood textures that are more weathered in appearance, or have a more pronounced grain. There some nice wood textures to be found at http://www.accustudio.com/index.php?option=com_phocagallery&view=category&id=46:&Itemid=77 Also, wood roof shingles (standard SU texture) would better match the original.
