Beautiful if not awkward from a design view. Great model. I'd like it to have more bump and more displacement though.

As usual very nice work. You might add some BOOKS! I know they don't use them anymore but the older people making the capital improvements decisions might relate.

Really Cool mate!!! Really!! Mate I seriously love the use of the cabinet door to close the space off. I've been designing a host of home designs of late that similarly utilise joinery to create room division. It's not something at all common here is Australia and I seriously don't understand why! We always build a wall and then the cabinetry to it rather than letting the cabinet become the divide, even if the cabinet is single side facing it can still be finished on the reverse side as a feature to the room! You do some great solutions mate!

Stunning mate!!!! Though I still battle with the use of non verticals, seems only common to the SU user

That's a very impressive portfolio: both content and design! Well done

@anton_s said: I like the various animation effects! Such a professional work. Thank you so much for your positive feedback

Feedback and review are welcome and I am waiting to see your renders

Wow. Excellent!

thank you for comment.

Your renderings are rich and complex with all the details and materials. Looks like they stuck to the design, the feel of the place is the same as the renderings.

Here's a couple of in progress pics of the progress.. [image: D0dw_2014-11-2511.01.jpg] [image: eKvT_2014-11-2511.01.jpg]

Wow!

@box said: Sorry for the off topic Richard, but a thread bump is always a good thing on good threads. All good mate, I completely forgot what the original thread was about once you mentioned BEER!

Can I have your boat? Christmas is just around the corner

Thanks Ken. All great suggestions and you are exactly right about the lighting and atmospherics. What you see right now was all done in SketchUp. I was testing the limits of SU. Here's what I did: The background is a watermark. WM is set as "background" and not "overlay" the fog isn't really fog, it's just the blend slider on the WM setting. Fog doesn't work with watermarks. The WM is what makes the bike shadow "off" the light beam is a rather dodgy square cone with transparent material the shadows really don't match quite right with the background due to SU's lighting limitations (I tried to pick a picture that was somewhat ambiguous for this reason) So yes, it definitely needs more work and I will eventually make the changes. This is my first experiment with backgrounds in SU. My first tries always look a little wonky. Again, thanks Ken. That is a very clear step by step process and I will have to try it. I have some other ideas as well that fit with the animation.

Excellent modeling, Lengyel. Have a wonderful weekend! _KN

Very cool, Rafal. Have a terrific weekend! _KN

Awesome modeling, texturing and rendering, Steve. Thanks for the story behind your model. Cheers! __KN

They look good to me!
