Top notch!

Excellent as always!

that glowing onyx material is really cool. maybe needs some rounded edges all around to give it a little more detail, since its such a simple striking design.

Overall, nice rendering. A few points (IMHO): The people appear to have a white halo around them, and comparing them to the materials and the car, they look out of scale (too small). The gray wall in the background looks flat, devoid of any texture - doesn't look realistic. You have some light rays projecting from some of the top corners - why? It seems out of place in what looks like an otherwise photorealistic approach. If your going for a more mannerist style that emphasizes the form, you should use that approach on the whole form you want to emphasize. Water seems a bit too agitated for a swimming pool.

Thanks Krisidious.

Most of my images are about empty spaces , i.e. no people - a moment caught out of time Here's 2 more NPR images, concentrating again on light. [image: bXFT_Carnivalcomestotown02T.jpg] [image: MOu7_Carnivalcomestotown04T.jpg]

Well could you? Send it to India? And why not provide NPR to the bored client? Actually you could send the job to the Philippines and get a super NPR job from a great guy (Alan Casas). I think the same thought (outsourcing) has been around for a long time with CAD production, but I am convinced I cannot do it effectively. There will also be cheaper producers out there whether they do it in house or outsource, and I don't intend to compete with them (in cost). You can also get less expensive PR and NPR in the "West" from great people, if you know where to look. I like to see (and use) NPR too.

Really nice view/render, when can I move in?

Another one to show some perspective. [image: CGLl_CONCEPTCENTREAAerialsmallersize.jpg]

@lz said: Very nice job. Materials and choice of colors are great. But that blur seems a bit too intense, especially with nothing extremely obvious in the foreground. I agree, I think the DOF needs to be on the extreme foreground as well. That should balance the image a bit more Apart from that great work

It looks very credible, well done

A belated than you to Cotty who spotted my error in step one, Thanks very much it IS appreciated. Sorry I did not do that earlier.

@tadema said: Thanks Steve, hoping you have another great model cooking away in the background. John Been devoting a lot of my time trying to keep the old place going during this hellish lake-effect Winter here, but have been working on a collection of "one-of-a-kind" vehicles when I get the chance. A lot of them are unfinished but am thinking about posting some of them here anyhow. Your work continues to impress, simply incredible. Take care, Steve

K Pahel i just tried to match a still image i found on the net. The trick is to stay loose with the volume and scale it while it's simple until it resembles your camera which you should try and estimate early on. Sean just dive in and GO FOR IT ! Leon thanks.

Looks great Victor as always great attention to detail and a classy engine . I guess the client forced you to add the people and make it "cheesy" !

e basic premise of my fun with 3d modeling is to use legitimate free programs. Therefore, rather I will not use Vray. Unless I carry a model for a colleague who professionally deals with the modeling of the architecture.

thank you.

thank you

@august said: When I was a teen I used to follow Model Railroading and was fascinated by articles that were tutorials on building models like this in brass and motorizing them. This work appears to involve many of the same skills and passions, without requiring a lathe or drillpress. I linger with pleasure over the photos. There is beauty here in your remembrance of some beautiful machines. Thank you. The truth is I look over lots of paper model builds (mostly because the people building these models painstakingly document their work, making building individual pieces in 3D much easier, along with some factory blueprints). They're also very fun to build. I have many more renders here if you like- http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=81%26amp;t=54436 (one of the images has a faulty valve gear, I know). They're all Eastern European locomotives
