Thanks for explaining.

Where is Paul BTW? Have not heard from him in a while.

Great images Tom. Looking forward to seeing the others

Hey toan76, sweet render! I showed it to some others on the SketchUp team and got a few "Woah! Very nice!" responses! Great to see another motorcyclist online too! Looks like you had some fun with your Monster at a track day! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing! Cheers, - CraigD

Thank you!

Stu, I see your point but these chests do actually look like this with the texture. they are thin layers of wood and it does repeat since they lay these layers next to each other - and keep the repetition on the drawers, too. But yes, I can try with some other textures, too and maybe will play around a little bit with different effects. Thanks for the comments anyway

Andy, I saw this first thing this AM, but had to wait till now to comment. This blew me away, your style(s) just get better and better. This is amazing and I love it. P Shaun Tennant

Hey, I don't mind crits, particularly from you two guys But I'm a bit stubborn .......or maybe its my monitor settings .......anyway dark, 'moody'[gloomy ] images can hide lots of imperfections

check out the attached photo... the circles I placed show some of the elements that really bring this render home for me... the subtle reflections and shadows made me double take on if this was real, model or composition of both... if the glass in the benz had been darker you might have had me... awesome job... great selection of camera location, really captured a future complete view...

I like them... They look really good...! Why don't you post them at the KT Forum...

Well, yeah. You know that endorphine rush is kind of addicting. Thank you.

Office hasn't upgraded to SU6 yet, 2 pt perspective has to be faked in photoshop... good guess though, exactly 60 degrees. These weren't originally intended for presentation, but client loved them... sorry for the tiny images, just trying to cover myself in protecting office "intellectual property." I don't think that any of you have any intention of using this material to make money, but my office has strict policy; so I avoid it by posting image that's not worth your time to try and market.

Paul, I had a similar experience, I was really geting into K for a while but problem arose with large models . For simple things it was ok - I could open it in K and add some additional materials there but with large models there were pages of materials that came out - I didnt know what was what. I was really frustrated.

Really interesting link Phil - thankyou A.

Tom, thanks. Yes, lighting would be crucial if I ever finish these. At the time, I didn't want to put too much time into them if the client wasn't going to pay for those views. So I presented them as "shells", no pretty stuff. But for portfolio sake, I'm going to revisit all of these drawings some day and finish/change them to the way I wanted them to be! LOL That's why I've come here to get advise and comments. Thank you all soooo much. I'm actually getting a hankering to work on these again.... in my spare time, ha-ha-ha.

Thank you for your coments folks, I appreciate it a lot kwistenbiebel , you can find these chairs here: http://www.ambientedirect.com/en/eur/design_aarnio_bubble_en.php http://www.eero-aarnio.com/10/Where_to_buy.htm The price is neat 3.000,00 British Pounds, not very cheap, but then again, not everybody has one at home either Cheers

happy new year! I like crazy solutions and this is one of them, excelent!

I didn't understand what you wanted to tell me with the hungarian link. I am going to post a photo in the theatre thread with the actual capital. It will be about 230 kb at the moment, I did something wrong with the actual columns (they are too big, in fact I repeated them 3 times, I didn't know anything about components at that time ), so I can reach the 500 kb (but I don't think that happens).

Bruce, thanks for your thoughts! Cheers, Franziska
