Here's a streetscape I rendered a while back in Thea.The original Thea render is much darker than the final watercolour so I had to increase brightness and saturation before starting the main process. [image: XQC8_street03.jpg] [image: N70E_WATERCOLOURSTREETBRIGHT.jpg]

No need to be sorry Mike. I was kidding around.

fun renders using Thea render and proxy option [image: aoV7_e-1.jpg] [image: kzjZ_r.jpg]

...nothing earth-shattering here, just more of the same...but here is phase 2 of the project. the aerial view didnt come out so hot was in a rush and couldnt get it quite right. [image: wi04_phase2_v1.jpg] [image: d6sS_phase2_v2.jpg] [image: Kzl0_phase2_v3.jpg]

Rodin revival!

Must be in the must impressive Gallery

Mate, I'd probably throw a tree in the foreground to cast a leaf shadow on to the terrace to liven it up!

50 60' years mood

Thanks!

@richard said: Ah! Sorry mate, my bad - I didn't read it as that! Yeah, the angle doesn't show it very well.

Yes Rich if your card is CUDA enabled rendering is very fast,thanks... jaceguay; yeah big files to blender is not working, what I do is import them one by one or I model that object in blender. groups is working fine with me both blender to sketchup... novena; yes I used HDRI for the lighting and reflections, yeah its cool alternative to high-end 3D app and it's free. Please do post some of your renders and I will post some more test in the coming days... Peace

I solved this very one in a few minutes. Needless to say it would take me longer to make it in Sketchup.

Thanks Allan

Duck architecture.

Daniel, the first image is excellent... allanx

Chedda, mate I'd put two light sources in each light fitting. Hidden emitter - that casts the light and can be powered up to illuminate the room (more than it is now) and Visible emitter that shows the light fitting that can be kept at a low illumination to so it doesn't visibly burn the lights out when viewed from the camera!

Pretty cool!
