Beautiful, Pete...and I too think the night render is just great! (Please don't post this model, as I'll then be tempted to add it to all of mine...at the least to cast a shadow :`)

Great as always Solo, keep it up. Is it worthwhile to try using the free version of Vue?

I rendered it with Kerkythea

that is brlliant solo, very impressed! you have done my little quickie proud! thank you very much pav

found some words about maya

@igor said: SO... MUCH...GREEN! as you can probably tell, i think its just a little too monochromatic. the band of beig in the middle of the wall was a nice touch, but a little more of the other colors would be nice. needs a window too... great model, even if there is too mcuh green... your point is valid, I will add a window later on and maybe change the floor color.

Ahh... it really isn't that hard! Funny thing is that I thought this process was hard to do but when I took and second and tried it I found out it was pretty simple. Now I'm just trying to learn different techniques!

As usual, you are really on to something here. Wow!

@daniel said: @daniel said: Sorry, I'm being excruciatingly picky - has to do with my job this week. It appears to me that you applied the stone material to the font face only of your soffit light (as illustrated on the left, below), but didn't return it on the bottom to show the thickness of that stone (as shown on the right, along with a supporting frame). It's the sorta thing that only an architect would probably notice. [attachment=0:247hl1ac]<!-- ia0 -->stonesoffit.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:247hl1ac] regardless, it's a nice rendering. not at all Daniel, you're most welcome. Now I got your point. The most difficult part in any realistic rendering is the light distribution and the texture mapping technique. This model took me more than 2 hrs to achieve such an output. Currently, i'm experimenting fluid and realistic water surface which is really hard to achieve in sketchup+vray. The minutes it's done I'll post it here and your comments will be a plus. Cheers Khalid

Very nice.

Looks way fun, cool model.

ha ha, this is awesome! didn't mean to cause such a recation, but i'm glad i did! maybe we could have s simple modle of an everyday object which everyone makes each week so we can compare modelling styles n stuff? come on peeps, more people need to make a rubiks cube! pav ps. nice owrk solo, as usual

i don't have time now to resize but a right-click view image shows the whole thing..

I agree with anssi, I like SU image... Nice job! Regards

Be sure to include solid materials (such as wood below - which automatically molds to the curved surfaces), and fractal plants - which create random, complex, detail without clogging the SketchUp model in the criteria for a good renderer. (Just kidding of course - but it is an example of how a renderer comparison could be slanted to favor a particular rendering engine) [image: original.aspx]

Excellent models Ivica. Can you share a picture of the wireframe view?

Middle age atmosphere! I like it! Nice and fantastic job! Regards

This render is fantastic!
