I enjoyed the explanation too, Box...guess when I kick the bucket I'll know whodunnit.

Thanks Bryan. Well he really was a master also as an architect here in Italy.

The render is outstanding ! I feel there is something missing, the back of the house is too bright, shouldn't there be some shadows over the fence and over the big tree ?

You are one of a kind ! Your bike riding is for most of us shuttle landing !

I am not amazed by his computer, I am amazed by his brain/attention to details ! Can't have enough ships !

I would also take the ceiling lighting down about 60% and see what the space would look like. I think you will like the results.

Beautiful!

Thanks for your comments @notareal said: Interesting watch... now animate those ball-bearings great idea...except that's definitely over my skills I copied the band texture from the reference pictures (http://www.eone-time.com/images/clock-stop-motion.jpg) adjusted a bit to make it seamless and applied as displacement map on Thea default scratched metal material (bump map for the animation, since Presto doesn't support displacement mapping yet)

Thank you Bryan and jo-ke.

I didn't even notice the missing shadows in the first pics. An excellent render now made even better.

Thanks for the comments Richard, i have used shift lens along with 2 point perspective. However i don't always stick to straight verticals as a fixed rule.

@mike amos said: Nice one, I think the artifacts in the main blade you mention are just artifacts due to the sometimes skewed way sketchup handles geometry. I doubt your model is at fault in any way. The render comes out real nice too, Cheers mate. Yea, I was using subtract and the blade basically exploded. Softening resulted in an ugly face, decided to leave it. Thanks! @cuttingedge said: Wow super high poly for a knife. In reality tiny things are harder to model. But hey, nice clean modelling . If I have choice, I would have every piece of my model this detailed if SU can handle them. The file size came out to about 15mb. Definitely excessive in the poly department. @bryan k said: Holy moly! Thank you, kind sir!

he's about to open up one of the lockers.

@ Boofredlay: @ cadmunkey: @ Tomasz: Thanks a lot!

Here you have a view of the model with a detail on the slabs. Some accesories & furnitures were added directly in Thea. [image: gYhl_02.JPG] [image: RFM9_01.JPG]
