thanks u all, yes i love trucks and everything associated with them, but i have to give a big thanks to css for making this a reality im hoping this to be my most detailed trailer...but time will tell and we'll have to see the end result...thanks again.

As much as rendering would add more flash to you imagery, theses are great and really show off the theme of the project, the detail in the architecture, and the wondeful sense of place... Great job.

My machine would be stuttering and sputtering just to orbit and pan.

yeah ill try to get a combo soon..thanks!

so u want me start 2d graphics pics from now on? if so sure will. thanks

oh ok srry and thanks

honoluludesktop - great tips and very good idea some light clouds would be very pleasing to the presentation. I am off to look for some sky images for the watermark. Thanks Bob

whoa man nice trailer!

Better is 75 % so 35 kb in this case!

Thanks everyone for the comments... I definitely agree that there is too much foreground and that the bushes are too skewed in front. Its funny how you notice those things after you come back to it the next day... Thanks again..

Good looking render. Just the roof material and the post material seem to stick out. I'd be fooled if it wasn't for them.

haha are they still cops? I thougth i got rid of them before... anyhow.. its actually a Belgium resteraunt. Thank you very much for your kind words

have you looked at the 3Dwarehouse? There should be a few examples in sketchup format that you could open with no problem, if you had a more specific topic or could elaborate on your needs there are lots of great people on the forum that will help out.

very good model keep it up i agree with other comments about back round

oh yeah, that was another thing i tried to do... made an mxi with darkened edges on that sign..and a few stripes, which i think i should have done opposite of what i did, but whatever. thanks for your help...really up'd the quality of the image.

Mate I agree with Toms first crop of the image, the extent of foreground is distracting. The post worked image really adds a lot in my opinion! Though I think you have dirted up the front of the building on the left a little too much. For me the carpark pavement in the post image looks great now, though as mentioned the lines may have been a little less white. For me the real biggy is the lack of any light from the windows which would be present in a late afternoon shot. The dark line to the image as Tom mentions created by the shadow cast from the line of trees I feel could be broken by not maintaining such a harsh line to the layout of the trees. Now all in all considering the size of this project and the extent of the parking / mapping there this is superbe work mate, you should be really proud!!

Great work Tom. These are some of the best images so far.

Tryed to improve this one. NormalM2.rar [image: q5Cn_Untitled.jpg]

Thanks for your feedback Paul, that's just the kind of feedback i was after. I am working on a model of a housing estate at the moment and will look into what you suggested and try to implement it Also thanks for the download Cheers Darren

The last image gave me an idea: You should try ArtRage. The free version does not have layers, but you could just paint over the SketchUp linework and then re-apply the linework again in Photoshop using the Multiply blend mode or something like that. The full version is $25. You might also want to have a look at PD particle, which has "grass" brushes, for adding little details.
