After a full week of testing and configuring the new laptop, here is the update. [image: x2C0_hotelroom.jpg]

Thanks ntxdave!

Thanks folks, I am trying to rebuild my parts and texture collections. These two sites are brilliant. Something I have found useful is fbx files, a way to get 3ds.max files into Sketchup via Blender OR the universal import plugin found here on Sketchucation. https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=71951&hilit=universal+importer or in the store. https://3dsky.org/ https://cgmood.com/

Thanks Mike! I did make some extra tweaks to the textures and turned the sun brightness down some, as well. The first test render was far too bright, so I made the second, shaded one shown at top.

Wow! Amazing modeling!

^ Agreed, nicely done.

Not sure the sky takes anything away from the render tho'.

My apology! I did not go to your link. I just read the text. If you look in my direction you should see a ver bright red glow from my face. Maybe it is time for me to take a major break from posting. Again, My APOLOGY !
