Seriously cool, nice mate.

@olishea said: good stuff, only crit is everything seems a bit "floaty" like nothing actually touches the floor....can you bump up AO or something? Whilst there are shadows, I see your point - at this stage, the simple answer to that is no! lol I don't want to upset the image with noise etc. You know how tricky it can be to get the right balance. To be honest, it is a brightly lit room, with a light floor.

Wow! Well done!

@jql said: Awesome modelling and presentations. I use black on white background a lot, but never did it look cooler than that kind of black clay render you did. Congratulations and I hope if you don't mind if I borrow (more like steal) that style someday... Thanks, JQL. Feel free to use the style whenever you like At first I intended to use a more traditional clay material (Keyshot doesn't really have one, but there are approximations), such as this: [image: 8XQQme3.jpg] But my slow computer was taking too much time making the renderings.

Also the plugin promises "composting" in the description, but I doubt it is of any use in the garden.

Thanks, gentlemen

Daniel , Just added some chairs , etc... and here is the result [image: cB6r_scaled.jpg]

Nice

Hi, Nice work. Love the composition of the shot. Only thing to mention is the yellow ceiling lighting. A bit to yellow for my taste but it might be intentionally. Greetz Twan

Love it.

@cotty said: Thank you all. @Bryan: Yes, it is, and the most difficult part was the placing of the holes so that all parts can be assembled like this Truly brilliant!

Oh very cool! Modern Faberge.

Yes, absolutely. However, the ribs typically are cut and erected square and hand reshaped prior to the attachment of the planking. Very often ships were planked (or "ceiled") inside as well so they would be tapered on both sides. Jim

Does this a new Chess game ?

Excellent as always!

I think the absence of the bottom plates is so we can see the plan. That tile texture looks familiar

Thanks for posting Jim. I like the execution / style. Glad you got the 'moment' Mike

Thank you all for your nice comments. I've added a download link to the first post.

SilverShadow sent me here and I'm so glad he did. A real pleasure to see this work. Inspirational. I'm not a fan of 2D cutouts... but, this is some of the best use I've seen.

@steve These are few years old. Was digging around HDD and found these outtakes @brian Thanks. Just random experiments.
