Thank you D-space for comment. I will look at this. Regarding specular and reflection i need make some experiments because specular definition is new for me and effects are a little different from I thought it should be. I will do some tests and I will try with new settings. Best Regards

@jo-ke said: i like the foggy athmosphere. Which renderprogram did you use? I can see the fog, but it should be some volume light simulation with post pro I guess? Why not let in more lights from the glass door?

Some changes. I changed the first tile on the ridge and made it bull nose. [image: pSXN_TileBullNose.jpg]

Hi, thanks to the help of Solo I could also do it in few minutes! Rest to model the inside and I cannot figure out how to model it as fast as the helmet. I see it is not perfect but I think jst a little of scaling tool here and there and should be identical. [image: W8dP_casquevuedecote.jpg] [image: DMVR_casque.jpg]

Thanks James, Coremaster, & Gene! @gene davis said: Very nice. I am an admirer of your work. You are fortunate to be in a market where fine homes get built, in a variety of styles. What software is used to produce the working drawings for these projects? Are you using Sketchup for the interior design? Gene, Yes I am fortunate to be in this market. These days, any market that is building is a good market. I have to remind myself of that when I start whining about work. I am using Archicad for construction drawings, although not in the manner that it was intended to be used. We do not use it as a BIM program. We have made the move to using sketchup for all our modeling and actually use those models to export 2d dwg elevations into Archicad for construction drawings. If we were not already invested in archicad, we would more than likely be using some other cad program for construction drawing, but the combination of archicad, sketchup, Podium, & a little photoshop is working out pretty well and will get smoother as time goes by. We have done a few small interior jobs with su and podium, but because we elevate nearly every room in our new homes and our interior people are not...ahhhh...computer comfy, we go with hand sketches and then 2d cad drawings. I have been asked to document our process in a cohesive manner and I do plan on doing it...when time permits, and when I do I will share it. Thanks again everybody for you comments. p

Dale that is simply wonderful imho - I really like the whole ambiance of the image and would not fret too much about the seams on the furniture. Really good.

No, it's just to show that they are seperately grouped.

Very nice works. I really like the renders 5 and 6. What render engine did you use? Have a nice day, _KN

nice render, very realistic a lot of potential got theA render! nacho

its madosettings

@massimo said: Really nice lighting, good job. I don't like the stone texture: it's distracting and also is bad placed on corners where the mortars don't join. Better a more "neutral" material IMHO. Oh and perhaps you can softening a bit the shadows in the last two renders. I am gonna try it again with your words~

well, where's the render?!

And these last renders are just fine. IMO Design looks great.

Thanks all for your interest and comments. I'm not the designer on this house and I never plan to be a designer (excuse the pun). I'm just the modeller and renderer, so those comments have been helpful. I know there is always room for improvements, and thats why I like to hear what you've said. I'll see if the next lot of renders can surpass this one. Cheers

@olishea said: mate less foreground and more sky would look better. you can also use the tree lines to create interesting foreground shadows...just place the tree line behind the camera and make sure the sun shines through it Good point, I'll see what I can do. I've got two tree between the sun and the building, trying to get the shadows to play across the front. Olishea those tree lines are very useful, much easier than stacking trees forever! thanks again

Looks great,if only we could add the purple haze!

@arail1 said: Got it! Thanks. Now we need a good tutorial ... its pretty simple, turn it on in render settings and you get a slider and a color picker for each light. play away! (might not actually be that simple but it was for me ;~) )

@dermotcoll said: ! Nice renders - welcome to the forum many thanks

Mate you really do have this style absolutely nailed. You've managed a really nice consistancy which is always the hardest thing to achieve!! Well done!
