@mitcorb said: Very impressive, especially that you removed excess fat. thanks Mitcorb, when you are dealing with a realtime engine you have to be good with poly count. The final poly count was 180000 with plants, car and characters.

I am definately not that good at rendering or getting the textures right, but I gave it a try in kerkythea anyway. I want to try a few different programs that I can get for free or already have so bare with me while I try to get this done in scorching heat. My computer overheated yesturday so I don't know if it will today, otherwise the first renders would be up already. Anyway pass on the comments please.. EDIT: These are PhotonMap High + AA 0.3 Renders.

Seems like cheaper gaming cards (GeForce line) are better for this kind of software. And also for Octane Render.

Nice renders! Would these be new builds, but in a traditional style?

Very nice, Mr. Scotti. It'd be nice to see some people in the rendering.

It might not be technically correct (although I wouldnt know otherwise), its a superb piece of sketchup modelling!

Tails, it's the last link in my post, you have to scroll down and download the plugin which will create a teapot, cup and spoon. I posted a fully textured cornhole game the is in the exterior render in the components section of the forum here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=33999 Enjoy!

thanks Dozr...

You may be able to make reasonable guestimates by looking at other small recognizable features on the building such as the defunct lighting fixtures dangling on the facade or the vertical dimension of the horizontal "lines" or the gutters and downspouts or even the widths of the mullions and muntins as a gauge against larger elements such as glass panes. I do this and helps me get fairly close.

good start fred. nice trick there richard.. tfs.

Last one for now. Added another object for scale and some reflection. [image: A8h0_woodentrainrenderB.jpg]

Awesome! This will look great Rendered in a night scene with lighting ,smoke etc.

Hi, Great work! Though, having kids myself, i'd say that the sharp angling tables on the 3rd and 4th picture are quiet scary to me. Especially when you see the little 2d girl's head at the very same level that these hard corners. I'd suggest to push the feet of the tables at their end on their very sides. Thank you for reading my poor english (i'm french by the way )

i dunno. i normally wouldn't be bothered by a missed detail or whatever but in this case, it just seems to me that the whole building is based around the entrance. as if it's the most importantdetail by the architect.

Nice one Jim. Here's the new features... 10 languages in all (English, French, German, Czech, Polish, Italian, Romanian, Dutch, Finnish, Russian) Crop source or drawn image Lossless 90° rotation Improved and more responsive interface (12 skins, flicker-free icons, real-time preview of brushstrokes) One-click automatic contrast adjustment Check for updates Automatic saving of language, window size, position and chosen skin 4 new realistic frames New custom brushes loading for Painting 7 effect New vintage photo effect (sepia, vignette, old photo texture)

I always wondered if I did not have a wife and two kids if I could live in something small like that. Cool ideas.

@tadema said: Ecofeco, agree Sketchup is a great program I was trying to compliment the people, such as yourself, who use SketchUp (expertly) to preserve historic landmarks more than the program itself. Love the model.

vray is sure nice. Great work!

looks nice, shouldn't the trees be bear however with snow on the ground?
