After five years of work, my personal reinterpretation of Notre-Dame de Paris is now complete. The website has been fully updated, with all exterior and interior sections, in both daylight and night versions. https://notredame2.weebly.com Thank you to those who take the time to visit.

Thanks guys. They do remain my models so I can always feel that AI is just another tool. I know I have my own personal disgruntled opinions about AI overall but with ReRender AI I've discovered an AI tool that relatively easy to use and gets pretty good results. I already did some quick AI renderings on a house I'm working on and the client now wants me to do one of my own renderings for him. It's not perfect and has a mind of its own sometimes and it's almost impossible to get the same results all the time. It's usually a one shot deal "per rendering." Then you have to go back and work with the text prompts to get similar results. Overall though I can either have fun with it like with my train renderings or I can use it for work to get quick interior and exterior renderings in minutes which can lead to more work. I've been using Sketchup to generate 3D models for rendering which I can also use to generate 2D cad exports to using in elevations for my plan sets. It's a 25 year old Autocad (ADT 3.3) which still works and is like my old favorite pencil. Here's another ReRenderAI example. The first is just an original sketch with no material that's generated in D5 from a Sketchup model.

@Rich-O-Brien a friend of mine (working at the tramwaycompany) is doing the prints for me.

@Rich-O-Brien Yes, all the furniture is custom-made. Here are some examples of small bathrooms and utility rooms: https://www.doerr-ma.de/index.php?id1=22&id2=43

it is fierce mate. Thanks . lets hope for positive changes.. and a lasting peace in world.

@jaime_s Sorry, but I made the decision early on to not sell any of my models. That would make it seem more like work rather than something I do because I enjoy it.

Thanks, thought I had messed the system up somewhere.

Merry Christmas, Rich. All the best for you and your family, and thanks for all the help and support in developing Rayscaper.

@HornOxx Wonderful, made me smile today. Meryy Christmas folks, one and all. I hope you get all you need and 2026 proves to be the year to improves the lot of everyone single animal on the planet. I know but we CAN live with hope.

@Rich-O-Brien I am working currently on a longer version... Grok is great. It understands exactly what I want

Ah, OK. Thank you

Maybe sharing the progress process could be more interesting so here are samples: [image: 1765341905466-acrord32_h3mrtdrtzi.png] [image: 1765341905478-acrord32_s1gekom0ro.png] [image: 1765341905489-acrord32_xe0iztbkbw.png] [image: 1765341965348-acrord32_s1zb0nuzyn.png]

LA is known for being VERY slow (even before the fires), nit-picky, and sometimes downright unreasonable. Best of luck in getting the project(s) approved!

@Bryan-K Thank you sir.

Thanks Bryan – I used the same pattern as above to create my this year Christmas doodle. https://community.sketchucation.com/topic/164628/advent-wreath

Well done!

Very cool!

Well done!

Excellent work as always!
