Sure pools can be "fully filled", but it requires a bit different structure that appears used now in the model. Just look on some perimeter overflow pools... yes, i do know that.. what i meant is "common" pools with no overflow gutter, like the one in the picture... i'm sorry if i dont express myself correctly, i dont know the correct technical terms for those structures in english

Nice job Jason!

They remind me of your watercolours (your real art work)

Wonderful!

awesome man,,,i like it,, thanks for sharing,,

haha, nice! fun place

where can I get this plugin? (URL) kwistenbiebel, could you send me the model.skp or a link where i could download it? thanks

Thanks Dale

Looking good. You need to mix up the book components on the shelves a bit more so the repetition isn't as obvious. Also, IMHO, the scene needs some more entourage "stuff" to give it some more life.

The colors and shadows are really good. I wonder sometimes how the rendering is actually done internally. Posing and posting more natural colors can become tricky with each level of complexity added to the objects. Kitchen objects though plain & simple can be hard to objectify virtually.

Thank you very much for pointing that out...would have been a pretty bad wakeup if someone wanted to sue me for using warehouse models

Really enjoying the design of the window bars. I've never seen that before. Much prettier than the standard verticals.

Thanks Simon... allanx

Hi Tina, The background is a combination of png clouds that I got from the internet and sky from Maxwell Render then I painted the rest in Photoshop to add variations.... allanx

Not to take away from the site plan layout and excellent work on you part, I was wondering if the planning department has minumim side yard and set back requirements. Seems like you can not walk between some of the houses. The local fire department may have their own requirements. Some areas with houses this close together require fire rated walls on that side of both the structures. Just some thoughts, Bob

Thanks, but some re-work in mind. @ Pilou: pas si loin, le Roi des Batteurs, le taille crayon de R.Loewy et un épluche pommes & patates.

Looks great.

Thanks jpalm, I wish I had more time to keep making models like this. It wasn't very large at all, most of the file size came from the texture. It was very fluid and easy to navigate. I forgot to mention I used sketchup's native "from contours" tool (sandbox) to link up the tops and bottoms of the "columns"...this was then subdivided a few times. The morning Thea render had no direct light; only physical sky was used to give a general glow. I love Thea's physical sky. For the afternoon shots I used direct sunlight and physical sky combined. For the misty afternoon shot I added the volumetric fog in photoshop, bit of a cheat really but I never got my head round volumetric materials especially as my dual core computer was rendering them soooooo slooooooow! 41MB in total 477,526 edges 314,374 faces If anyone wants me to upload this model for playing/rendering let me know and I'll make a download link.
