Well done! Probably the models wasn't as great, I mean there's a shot which the muffler actually gets in the body. Btw..the lights are pretty interesting, which global did you use?

Ian, what's out of scale? For example the sink you used is by "ceramica Flaminia" (it's called "twin column") and it's, real size, 85 cm x 42,5 cm, the lamp is by "Louis Poulsen" (it's called "artichoke") and has a diameter from 60 to 84 cm. So, as you can see, your image is wrong. From a comparison your tiles are around 40x40 cm with mortars at least of 2 cm. Never seen tiles like that. In comparison with your sink, the books are less than 16 cm tall... And I don't know about so small rectangular tiles as those in your shower. So what's out of scale? Almost all...

nice process! I must give a look to Fotosketcher. Thank you. I love how the trees come out.

@flipya said: ... I love your project man! It's great how you mix 'boring old' math with computers and 3d animation. I bet there's not a single student who didn't love doing this, and I'm sure by doing this you've taught your students a much better feeling for triple-axis systems. I was always pretty good at math, but some of my classmates weren't. They would've had great benefit from a project like this. Thanks Philip, you found better words than I was able to find to describe the meaning of this project. I plan to describe better the whole project and to make the worksheets freely available but it's gonna take me some time and I need to translate them. guzman.

I like the designs, but you should start using vray materials to have good looking surfaces. Vray installs quite a lote, and you find a lot more on their site

Very nice animations!

Dermot, your advise is always appreciated. Have no doubts about that Yeah Val has a great setup with tools and machines for all kinds of things. He is retired now, looking after his rentals and playing golf. The workshop is there mostly for storage and building maintenance but he still likes knocking out bits and pieces. We will have a good laugh putting the Corner Cubby together. There have already been a few lively 'debates' about the best way to put it together already with a few 'fs' flying around We will get there in the end

this is amazing. i want your skills.

Hi all Thanks for the great reactions .. I used Vray for SU the latest version allows for a sphericalrender wile using the Vray sun ... And it works great. Thanks for the nice comments

Like Oli, these types of works never excite me much though that second one NICE! I reckon you could do a few italian old cafe style prints with that method and they'd look convincing! Very nice work mate! For once I'd like a tut!!

Cheers, I cut down the contrast and the saturation levels. The fur plugin is great! Just wish it did kill SUp! Here is another with an attempt at putting in a "brooding" sky: [image: XQ2Ne.jpg]

Nice Has a smooth flow, I like that. Also the fact that you got it down to 3.7mb. However, why don't you show off the interior? You could use a nice slow section cut to do so.

This is really nice. I particularly like the wet edges in the photoshop work.

Thanks Cyberdactil, I guess in that case it is indeed a ballasted membrane. Gonna study this info from you, as my clientbase is expanding to include more international clients it's a good thing to know the english words

Bump for link above

I think the NPR model with PR veggies looks really nice in this image. Wonder if a PR sky would overdo it... Agree on the background trees, there's better alternatives for that. All in all, pretty great image.

Well, you could argue that each step is big enough to serve as a landing, since two feet and a walking cane easily fit on each of them, so old people can take that rest.

bloody hell pete! i got no idea how you perform this magic!

you have style, the images look good and you will make an impression I am sure. Just some critism, don't take it personally. You could present this design with more power showing just 2 images that are truly different. Then I feel the arcs landing in the middle of the bridge look dangerous or at least unpractical. Tx for posting your well done artwork. Its inspiring to look at. Francois

I'll have a crack with photoshop and see what I can conjoure up! I'll have a trawl around the library for some books on internal design and lighting techniques - there should be plenty as there is a large design department here at the university! I'm thinking of picking up a copy of twilight render, as I understand it's based on the same underlying technology as podium but has a fair few more options that I can play with and tweak around, it has a very attractive price point too ($59) for an educational licence Now all I need is some time to play with it.
