@tadema said: Hello agamemnus, I think you need to put a lot more work into the model, at the moment it's confusing. You state it's a research building but it has no doors or windows! no sense of scale so it looks like a big blue LEGO model. John It's to keep people in! Heh. Thanks for the input guys. I'll consider some doors/windows!

Clean, straight ahead, design and render. Very nice!

I love the textured render, really raw and hand-made looking.

Bryan K, thanks a lot, Im glad you like it... Simon, I really appreciate it, I was already counting with your vote agreed the Facebook thing is strange, seems like in Maxwell they like it... sorry no Neutras material yet, concerning to the HDR: 'colorful sunset 01' from openfootage http://www.openfootage.net/?cat=15 best V

@xonpt said: well, then i shouldnt have said anything, because you actually did what i said... my bad, sorry... lol but its weird how that spacing didnt cast any shadows even so, the images are great! Later I'll try to rerender this interior to fix mistakes. @mortenstorgaard said: Wow looks really cool. How much of the room was there when you started out (if any). Some solid work! Thanks for comment, Just one room was when I started

Nice Richard... But, I suppose no one ever told you not to share your million dollar ideas online before you patent it.

I'd be interested in the 3d RC detailing module. Are you going to market it for sale?

Thanks Stefan, nice comment, I'm glad you see it that way rather than over coloured. Bryan, my first stumbling attempts at rendering were back in april....it's still all unrepeatable guess work to me. In fact this thread should be in WIP not Gallery. Thanks John, yes it probably would, but for that I think I prefer to have the brush in my hand.

Awesome renders, Edvinas. _KN

Thanks Allan, Bryan, Eric and Dale!! Just back from a 2 month break so big sorry for my lazy response! Luckily this was one of the easier ones I've done as the placed cube icons are so simple and descriptive!

No worries, Ken... happens alot. Just the architecture is from scratch, all of the furniture/etc is all downloaded in the interest of time. This definitely could've been knocked out in under 2 days if there weren't so many changes. Silhouette people are there to stay Otherwise, they get distracted and make comparisons to the actors, blah blah and lose focus on what they're supposed to be focusing on.

Impressive.

Thanks Ken, you as well!

this is another render created by another setting [image: zGOa_tr28h27mPS.jpg]

and one more [image: 6Ikg_dietze-wz-render017ppkl.jpg]

Hello Scott, before you jump into external UV mapping with two feet, learn to use SU's tools and the multitude of plugins available here! Take a look at Thom's fantastic plugins first. Download a few Containers from the wharehouse and see how people apply their textures John

Thanks ken and gubermensch! Just goofing around. Yeah, those crazy space cadets, huh? I was hoping for the glow to be more natural in Kerky, but that's all I got. I could bump up the internal lighting setting that I used, but, heh, it was just for fun to inspire me to tackle my next bigger project, the Rollieflex. I was a actually more concerned about the lighting interaction with the HDRI, so I was learning something new.

Thanks all! Ken, I'm a big fan of your work, it put any doubts of using sketchup professionally to rest. I love the transformation you made. Thank you for putting in the time to show me what's possible. I'm new to photoshop and find the tutorials online to be verbose and overwhelming, although I felt the same about Sketchup at one point. Looks like I need to put in a few thousand hours of tinkering. Thanks again!

Very nice!
