Thanks!

Thanks, I'll create some more as soon as I got some time. Maybe a breakdown explaining the process...

I guess the Gecko was not a good idea. I have now started a new post for Studio Rendering, using a green dragon: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=81%26amp;t=56904

OK, I have started this as a new thread using Green Dragon: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=81%26amp;t=56904

Thank you Jeremy.

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
