here's my crit: all the textures are a bit.. flat. a little more obvious bump map maybe, or better textures. There's a lot of free ones over at cg-textures or there are some low-res (sort of) free textures at arroway. Just go to the products section, and then go to the product that interests you. After that you'll be able to see a list of textures on the side view. There's a maps section at the bottom part of the texture description. Choose the diffuse map and you got yourself a free low-res arroway texture. see att. [image: IeVv_scren.png]

thanks, Mike...yeah you have your work cut out for you, but I'm sure you'll do just fine

Thanks d12dozr and Oli. Yes it's a frosted glass. I used a global + sun + lens flare effect in PS.

@jopsa2 said: hi pav! this sounds like a really interesting project, reminded me of something I saw recently, a project for a supposed dystopian future, built on water http://www.interactivearchitecture.org/nicholas-szczepaniak-a-defensive-architecture.html (aside from interesting, the renders look amazing) those images are incredible it reminds me of the concept art for city 17 from half life 2 with the wires coming down http://knol.google.com/k/-/-/3qekwxh18g0ry/y4ur95/halflife2citadel.jpg Keeping on focus good start on the flood shelter.

Nice one Eric. I like the other angle better tho.

Nice work. I like the design on that wooden table.

Richard this looks good. Looking forward to see some trees as well.

i cant see the big different using v-ray or podium... by the way thanks for sharing...

Podium 1.7.1 and Photoshop

nice image....fades out way too much but yeah I like it , nice style

The entrance is not realistic - you would wreck the bottom of the car driving into it - it is way too steep IMHO.

What is the reason to have a car in the dinning room? If it's not tactless, of course, maybe it's for handiccaped people or such thing

Hi Billet! I think also lighting doesn't help to integrate elements, too much diffuse and without shadows like about half hour after sunset, even a real photography could seem fake Cheers

excuse me . ..are we getting off topic? That is one Angry Elf [image: 0gz2_elfGnome.jpg]

mmmmmm lets see vray render of this mmodel [image: hFEX_55.png]

oh, i'm going to have nightmares about this tonight! the tension of those pieces is killing me, especially in the second one. i just want them to fall and be at rest! the render quality is excellent and very crisp. bravo, sir!

lol nice..........sunny day, grass on the grass..... not forgeting the bare feet

That's a really neat concept. I hope to see what you make of it. Definitely a lot of vegetation, some water, mixed with some ultra-modern black and chrome, that would be cool.

Yes It's a quick NPR First I render my model with Twilight, I use only the water material and the glass material of twilght, And I setup a Spherical sky, shadow at 10. I don't edit any texture (no bump, no reflection.) I use a gray scale image from SU, I choose multiply layer on gimp or photoshop and transparency at 25%. I think that the image rendered and the shadow with Twilight even in small setting have a good quality.

awsome. the only thing i can think of is to make your lights some yellow some orange (very close together)to give more of a candle lit/shadow effect.
