Nice and impressive model!

You do have a nice style of presenting/rendering these models Wanut. I think we are all enjoying seeing these

Thanks for the tip...The texture i was using in that model was a KT texture And I still have not found out how to import my KT meterials into SU.So i guess i need to resize them in KT before rendering.I know how to do that though. Thanks again though for that tip.

I was messing around with HDR lighting and ies mesh lighting.I layered 2 ground plains one on top of the other and I textured the bottom with a Metal mirror style texture and the top with Dilectic glass.I used a mettalic/gloss green car paint on the sphere. I am going to subdivide the sphere a couple more times to get a smoother look on it. I will post it when its finished rendering. Here is the first one...ENJOY [image: trippySTUFF.jpg] EDIT:here is the same scene,I just Subdivided it and added a diffrent texture(dilectic Glass)to the sphere to get a different effect.

CHeers guys, i almost feel like i can render now

@mirjman said: congrats! nice renders, and it looks like construction is going per your images so far... Thanks. I had a minimal design roll in this...I just translated other peoples' ideas into models, and then checked out the implications versus the program and structural requirements. I won't know until they finish the entrance if either of the twoitems which I feel I had any real design input actually made it. I did draft a great many of CD details and sheets, as well, but that's just CAD monkeyshines.

hey, nice models. are those mountains in the background from just random photos you found on the interweb, or did you take them yourself? if so, where? they look suspiciously like the mountains near my house. if this is too personal (ie, giving away where you live on the net), you dont have to answer. i was just wondering.

John beat me to it. I would light some of the apartments to give it more of a realistic look. Maybe shoot a render from the parking lot level up the front of the building. Scott I think overall the night render is good. Just get those lights to soften up a bit.

Yes Tom, I like to preserve the past otherwise we forget where we came from As I said the front wall was the best of the stonework and this has been saved and repointed. It will be visible from the outside (at Ent Porch) also from inside the proposed lean-to that will accommodate dinners. Again, thanks for the trees Mike

Nag all you like. Otherwise there wouldn't be much point in posting renders, eh? Seriously: I primarely post renders to hear what people think I could improve, not to get an ego boost. So nag, boy, nag! You obviously never met my mom. Your nagging compares to hers as a toothpick model to the Eiffel tower.

Very green ans useful to remove that attachment at the bottom, edit your post (btton in the top right of the post) then scroll down untill you get to the attachments bit, just under the main window. There should then be a button that says 'delete file' I look forward to more subsmoothed wonders!

1st attempt at a face. Went a bit wrong so I decided it looked better growing from the ground [image: file.php?mode=view&id=9729&sid=d286fbad28e63059fe2d20dbbeb4bb9e] [image: sWlX_shiznit5.jpg]

Thanks, Coen and Kwist... @unknownuser said: Wow, is this KT? Yep - sure is... I hardly ever render with other applications...

hi katherine...the toilet layout seems gr8. can u post the skp file of the second toilet so that i may try to render it on podium .. i hope it'll look good. thanks

Hi Ritesh, As for the sunshine in your workflow; in SU you can adjust the sun easily to your needs in real time and see how the shadows "come in" through the window. Now when using su2kt exporter, the scene should preserve your light settings and keep it at that time of the day (you may need to adjust the location though in the sun and sky setup in KT). In this case I'd make sure to turn soft shadows on in KT to achieve a nicer effect. As for bumps and all like that, I think you'll find more answers at the KT Forums where they specifically discuss such things. Anyway, when you have a decent bump map, you can apply it in the image slot of the bump map in the material editor (top right corner). This will however need some experimenting and there are not too many good materials that come with good bump maps so sooner or later you will need to go into some PS-ing as well (or something similar).

Hi Nick, This is indees a nice render, but like remus already have pointed out, the lightning could use some "love"... I suggest that you try converting the spotlights to IES lights... If you don't know the process for this, please check out the Converting spot to IES lights thread... The process may seem a bit intricate, but once you've tried it a couple of times, it's really not that difficult... The lights in the bathroom scenes I've rendered in the rendered bathrooms thread are all IES lights...

Prefer #2 as well, but I think each picture should have been done straight on and at an angle so a more fair judgement could be made.

Anssi, That's a good remark. Actually PR renderings aren't always the best solution to present pre-design imho. Sometimes it focuses too much on things (materials) that weren't yet decided on or weren't thought through. Often it is better to make a paper scale model or a rendered one, just to show the mass. On the other hand, renderings can support the concept the architect is aiming for, even in an early stage. Also, I tend to believe that sometimes arch competitions are won based on imagery, and I must admit some render people can make a bad design 'look good'. So not always a good thing. Thanks for the comments.

jason, i certainly meant jason. sorry about that! mateo, yes, besides having a lot do in real life, i have been trying to learn how to render. it is the missing part in my one-man-architectural-office plan. biebel, thanks for the encouragement. even though it does not show i have learned a lot from you. regards to all.

I know. They are creapy. Oh, James. I just started to model those stairs and I decided that It's going to be a hotel.
