Tuna, I have a client (cell phone retailer) who is the same way when I do a model of one of their new stores - no cars, people, landscaping, or other entourage of any kind.

Haha yes a super tiny bevel on the keys would have been ok but the texture had the round edges and hid this a bit. The screen is so small a protrusion i think i made it 1mm i suspect in reality it is flush with the plastic case. regarding the brightness perhaps are screens are calibrated differently. Also sometimes i think the mistakes and imperfections often add to the photo realism. Super bright stuff seems unrealistic sometimes also. I'm happy with the result perhaps it is just my interpretation. I added the image below that i used if anyone else wants to try : [image: ku9P_Nokia-105-New-2017-Black-SDL836701298-1-8c6b4.jpeg]

@mike amos said: I doubt any of this is new to you seeing as the Romans and Venetians used it. The use of adjustable levels of water could be used instead of soil which may speed up the process but height of tower may be limited. Enlarged concrete foundations with adaptable buoyancy could do the job but it's theoretical. Yours is a fascinating project, thanks for showing it. Its definitely a unique set of detailing when thinking of all the opportunities and setbacks. Hopefully we don't have to worry about the rise of sea levels in a while.

@mike amos said: Cracking mate, the soil/surface image is interesting best for a while. Thanks. The texture is from inside Raylectron. It's "concrete rough small", size and color adjusted.

Bryan K Mike Amos : Thanks guys. garystan

First cc0 is (2k, 4k, 8k) [image: site_textures.jpg]

Very nice subject and renders. I love the camera angles. Really add up to the mood and avoid the classic 2p perspective thing. Great!

@l i am said: Nice work Bryan, I now realise that you were going for the look of the original, but think it would be a cool, as per Majid's suggestion that that you put your own spin on it to make it your own Thanks and I appreciate that, but this was just another slump-buster. I also feel I need to do some more copy work for practice. The model is now available at the 3D Warehouse and it is titled "Junji Okubo Infinite Space".

A lot of that looks very Visualizer-esque to me, a pity it is no longer being developed.

I know that if I am watching a film or decent program on the television or idiot box, I like to use just a single daylight bulb behind the television, it is like being in the cinema and for some reason is more immersive/better. They may be a subliminal reason for this but I find it much better.

@l i am said: @bryan k said: The last image turned out great and is an obvious evolution from the previous images. Thanks Bryan, nice to hear that all that tweaking wasn't for nothing It feels hard to justify sometimes It's always worth it. The first image was damn good but the final image is excellent.

Nice collection...

Thanks Tadema for kind feedback, I used a curve background image that I think mismatches the whole scene and need to be replaced... What do you mean by off-scale vegetation, in which part do you mean exactly?

I'm not sure Mike it looks like a grain loft to me. Those legs are designed to prohibit critters and snakes climbing up. I've seen similar mushroom shaped stone feet on British barns. However it could easily be a seasonal shelter too.

very cool... what's the model look like?

First class, Sir.

@ely862me said: :shock: i quit I'll come with you This is definitively a "Hall of Fame"-model !!!!

Thanks. That's still pretty fast.

Oh man,, trade show booths are not easy to do. Those look great!

That is excellent.
