Nice renders. I agree with Richard about the fish tank ( not sure that's what it is ? ) .If it had some transparency it would look a lot better. One other thing, I find the people that have some "blur" to them a little distracting to the images. I won't knock the general design other than it's not really my style, but your renders show the place very well.

This actually popped up in my tumblr or twitter feed yesterday or the day before and i thought it was really beautiful and saved it for future reference had no idea it was yours! but i should have suspected. Hey Thanks man!!! Interesting that it got on to tumblr or twitter somehow! I'm myself pretty chuffed with how it came out!

hideous, but in a good way...

Looks good.

Thank you Rich.

You're welcome. Yes. Sold out quite awhile ago.

Too bad they do not build them like that anymore, here in Texas there was a builder called Fox and Jacobs that had a few models just like that late 60's -70's. [image: QTSi_le3503e45-m0xd-w640_h480_q80.jpg]

@mike amos said: The furniture is better but you appear to have pictures above the windows, what is that all about? Mike Amos : I just wanted to have some pictures on the wall for decoration. The other wall has the clock decoration. Just to let you know, I take no offense at your misunderstanding. garystan

@unknownuser said: @richard said: @unknownuser said: Richard, I am curious......do you mean use 2 point perspective(s)? Thanks, Charlie Well yes but not by forcing them with SU's camera. Just set it up that way. Can you explain what you mean by "just set it up that way". I often fuss with SU camera FOV and save my scenes. (getting things as vertical as I can) Is this what you mean by forcing SU's camera? Thanks, Charlie Ok I should probably explain better. If just for NPR then I'd suggest the two point perspective camera can work fine. If rendering - any heavy forcing can make things look a bit weird, like an excessive crop.

You knock those set recreations out of the park!

Looks far better than my first render attempts. Good job.

Got you, thanks for the link Paul, looks like becoming a nice home.

Nice work Paul!!! As Baz suggests the clipping mask is brilliant. You can actually apply one mask to numerous images. You can see what I mean here, the flooring is a texture repeated and then clipped. [image: HKaD_plan.jpg] [image: clnJ_clipping.jpg]

Well done! ...and you're certainly squeezing every possible bit of function out of each sq. centimeter.

I think there's a place for you among those who design dystopic movie sets... Very convincing... and well done!

@hellnbak said: Interesting, but light poles seen way too thick (and no debris, graffiti, broken lights?) hellnbak : I make sure there is no graffiti....garbage on the ground ! But, you gotta look at this way........Hurricane Sandy won't be able to knock those light poles down :smile: garystan

Thanks Mike

Thanks!

@bryan k said: Looks good! The renders turned out nicely. Thanks Bryan K I do appreciate it. I have so much to learn!!! I keep trying all kinds of shapes and styles. I am hoping to become good like architect and designer Guy Dreier, check him out. http://www.guydreierdesigns.com/ When I look at his work I know I am nowhere near closed to knowing what I need to know to become that good. Its a long road ahead for sure haha Thanks again.
