@jo-ke said: looks very good. I would recomend to work at the material of the lamp. It would look more realistic. Thanks! The table lamp? If so, good suggestion. I'm not real fond of the material either.

Good stuff!

Thanks Mike

@baz said: Li am, IMHO the texturing and detail are great, but in the real world things would not be so perfect. EG: The Aircon units would not line up so perfectly or all be level. The downpipes would be a bit wonky. Door frames ditto. And I would rotate and scale the trees a bit. A few people would help bring it to life as well. (And now the car is becoming the focal point Cheers Baz Hi Baz, thanks for the feedback, appreciated The point about the car is good, and was a concern to me also, it is the most beutifull machine and such an engaging aesthetic that it does become the hero, and I think I agree I should change it out for something benale. Maybe even a few scooters and no car or a white van. I will have a play with the aircon units and downpipe. On the trees though if you look again you will see they are scaled (slightly) with a max of 500mm between them as they would have been planted from identical stock and planted at the same time in the same conditions. They are definately rotated please look at the different angles and slight bends in the trees. They are however fairly identical and symetrical as I wanted the symetry to juxtapose against the asymmetry almost caos of the building. That is absolutely key to the composition and very considered. (edited) I do not like the idea of populating it with people.....but there is already one person holding a phone already in the picture

Much improved, you need a night hdri for ambient and a reduction in the artificial light level. What render program are you using?

Great image, I now look for the character like a favourite tv program, your images inspire.

A sharp render. a great image.

Thanks garystan!

Thanks everyone. For the compliments, the encouragement and the help.

Excellent as always.

Thanks aviz! Good suggestions and I was in fact, going to add lights to the jeep, but light emitters just kill performance on my old PC. When I use light emitters, render time goes from minutes to hours and days.

Very nice, less is definitely more.

How about a corner arm chair, with a side table and a book with a pair of glasses on it and the lamp?

The usual, sharp and elegant. Bravo.

Thanks Mike. For some reason I had this scene in my head for weeks.

@mill3rluke said: Nice one. Im from the UK also, im a project engineer in the construction industry. I have done a couple of building plans for extensions recently, but i use AutoCad Lt for this. Do you use SU for your building planning applications? are you able to show me some examples as im interested in peoples SU work flows in construction. I am still not 100% sold on using it for everything yet. thanks I still only use AutoCad for planning a construction drawings. I Know its possible to do this using Layout, but I am so used to AutoCad for this I haven't ventured down that road yet. I am however using SketchUp and Photoshop mostly for 3D/2D Garden and Concept design work. I have attached a few recent simple design and concept work done in SketchUp and Photoshop for clients (including a couple of interior design works as well).

Here is file, but I use latest vray so might not be backwards compatible. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vjynl83pk516a9d/Tree%20-%202.skp?dl=0 Thank you a lot man. You have 1 beer from me Be blessed!
