Amazing details!!

@lz said: Awesome renders. Those trees look perfect. Never heard of this before. Is Octane a seperate program that can import skp or is it implemented in sketchup like Vray? Hello there. Octane runs inside Sketchup rendering/editing in realtime. Octane has the StandAlone version that works with .obj files, but now we can model/edit/render all at same time inside Sketchup- Really great. You can see here a litle timelaps from that work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtOtQtQZklk%26amp;list=UUq7rgvAxgNEhYIVaXjV1avw facebook https://www.facebook.com/octane4sketchup?fref=nf overview http://render.otoy.com/manuals/Sketchup/?page_id=823 cheers resmas

@rich o brien said: It'd be nice to see SU ouput too. Nice result Hi Rich, SU output attached. The ground plane was assigned a 'shadow-catcher' material in Thea, and rendered using the sun as a lightsource and the background image for global illumination.

hi.. i know this is an old thread, but maybe i can get some help first of all, great renders.. my question is: i like Cinema 4D cause all of the reasons you mentioned, and i export models from sketchup in 3DS format, by material, as well All works great, but only 7 out of 10 materials get exported...... some materials export as a solid color and its not a C4D open file problem, its a sketchup export problem, because when i open the folder i exported the file to, some textures are not there... does this happen to you? can you export to 3DS with all textures? if so, how do you do it?

Thanks everyone!

Really VERY NICE mate!!! My only criticism - I wish I could render that well!

Great design and render,

Wow, nice scene mate! Though it could do with some items in the right side shelving!

thanks! textures are directly from sketchup. Thats why i like maxwell - no hard texture preparing before render. [image: DsEx_a.jpg] [image: SvTM_1.jpg] [image: JHON_2.jpg] [image: khjP_3.jpg]

@richard said: I really like it too mate! Though I'd have probably put more polys in the foreground shaping to smooth it a bit! Example of what I mean! [attachment=0:2t6e40yf]<!-- ia0 -->LILLIPILLI EXAMPLE 2.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:2t6e40yf] Thanks Richard for your comments! Thats a nice example image buddy, the idea of using the terrain shape as a low poly triangulated mesh is to get a more abstract feeling... Best V

Wow, what an amazing model!! Just fantastic. Makes me mad how these lovely old buildings are left to decay and then knocked down for an estate of bland houses as is usually the case. At least your model is an everlasting record of how it used to look

@ken28875 said: First welcome to Sketchucation forum, Dan. That's an interesting project and I'd love to know more about it.

Great Liam.

Thanks Ken. I used a number of point-lights in Thea, with varying colours, to light the ceiling. Using coloured lights to add different tones helps to take away from the clinical feel of the renders... I think..

@unknownuser said: @unknownuser said: Is it as easy to use as it appears? Sure it is! That is its first quality! Second is the speedy of result! Alas all that has a cost! Yeah, I saw the price tag...unless I win the lottery, it's out of the realm of possibility for me. The demo videos make it look slick, and at that price it should be, but who knows what all went into making those videos (kinda like the commercials for cancer treatment centers we have here, with the small print at the bottom stating "results not typical").
