Thanks guys. @Richard, Yes, those trusses...I actually would prefer that they weren't there at all

Tom, All your renderings are beautiful, but I always look at things through an architect's eyes and what is best for illustrating the building. I have to agree with Alan that #2 in the first set are better in that regards (IMHO) as they are cleaner. And in the last two, there is too much foreground with too much happening in it; the only reason I could a rendering from that perspective is if client specifically asked for it. I don't think your clouds are too distracting; in fact, the one in the middle witha vertical cloud formation over the corner tower enhances the architecture. Daniel

thankyou for your comment, i do tend to perfect the lines and make sure the faces are in the correct place but i was in a bit of a hurry to push it out and missed out on alot of things, like the colore green on the writing is only on one side.... thankyou

If you wish to model a rare version of the submariner, make the word submariner in red letters. Ken

Thanks everyone! Fletch, I'm going to try to do what you and Frederik suggested as soon as I can. You guys are life savers when it comes to learning the ins and outs of Kerky. I do have a question I hope one of you can answer... will there be an easier way of making IES lights in the next version of Kerky? I rendered this image at 4000x2173 pixels, so I'm sure that also had something to do with the 10 hour rendering time... Chris, this is a church here in NC. We do a lot of work for a church renovation company so every now and again I get to do some models for them. I really enjoy doing this type of work, especially when I get to see the clients reactions...

that's wierd! but i like it.

thanks all, this is my blog contains those works http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-S4ThS1Y0aLaGs93UkrHfOjnTwPQ-?cq=1&p=1788#comments

@david57 said: More trees in the background. This is sexy

GREAT renders... My only crit will be on the trees... The sun/shadow doesn't match the render... Always difficult when you add such entourage in post pro...

I can't see the picture of the barn, is it possible to post it again ? thanks.

it looks really good but the texture is a little grainy..... good work anyway.

Dont worry mate I've been having the same issues with HDRI location and actually posted to the MR wish list a solution I'd like to see incorporated. Modo also does real time lighting from HDRI so the results from the illumination channel can be quickly tested. I've been playing with a work around for correctly positioning the HDRI for the illumination channel, though haven't get it finished yet! Check it out it may give you some ideas, or you may see ways to contribute! Oh hang on you posted to it - duh! Mate as the last post I always add my skys in later, there are a ton of sky images out there, infact any photo with plenty of sky will work. Using plastic for car paints can look a bit unrealistic unless you are going for more primary colours that aren't so suited for arch work - the grey, silver, brown inert tones one wants for arch vis are generally metallic and therefore need a coating in the BSDF. Metallics do tend to look a bit flat as the sheen spreads and disperses the light more! I one day should get back to this project - I can still see a great need for them for Maxwell and any other app they might work with - any that can take weight maps! http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=10730 [image: testad1.jpg] [image: autosavecarqq9.jpg]

A #1! Looks fantastic now. Really great work. -Brodie

could i suggest maybe putting in some vines and some glass roof that looks like greenhouse and will make the underneath look green too...

What about sun, reflections, water and rain animation... c´mon what ever else have you used? By the way, astonishing! How many hours did it take? hi, those post-processing effect I did in Ulead Studio some renderings by artlantis. It've taken us 3 weeks. I and 3 friends. cheersss,

@unknownuser said: fantastic renders! it's all modeled in SU? what render engine did you use? u serious, he only mentioned it around 25 times lol. Anyway, superb renders - the architecture kinda reminds me of a PC tower case, very cool.

my opinion would be to change the views angles... the first ones look like you're 2.8m high... and the latest look like you're some mice looking for food.. hehe Try a normal high with maybe some close-ups to call up more atention on what you think are the kitchen's best features? Excellent start!

If you have for example like mine - a tree to paint around, why not export the image with no trees. Do your painting and then export an image with just your trees and overlay that on top of your 'painted' image. I was going to say you can use a texture (such as a brick pattern) for your brush. I guess the trick there is trying to match the perspective or orientation of the brick on the face of the building you are painting on with the brush. If that makes sense? haha.

@unknownuser said: Looks great. Only thing I might suggest is that it looks like you wings go from the large rounded front down to a razor edge on the back side. Might look a bit more realistic if the back edge was rounded off. -Brodie Yeah I was thinking that.....Thanks for the comment

HEres more pics! pretty much done. needs a lil more details and etc. 1.[image: Ipjs_east2.png] 2.[image: XKSJ_east3.png] 3.[image: 2HeN_east4.png] 4.[image: 0R3W_east5.png] 5.[image: 7RBi_east6.png] 6.[image: X3ot_easy7.png]
