Thanks!

Yes Simon it is comfy, and damn big, but when you are on unlimited speed autobahns it is rather handy to be sitting astride a freight train. I'm considering shipping it back to Australia when I move, but being comfortable traveling at speeds in excess of 220kph suggests I might not hold onto my Drivers license long in a country whose top speed is 110kph unless out in the back of beyond where it jumps to a blistering 130kph. Steve, it's a wonder we didn't bump into each other, I spent 88/89 traveling overland to Europe from Australia and then back, so I was in the states for several months in 89. Great trip on one of my favourite bikes. Yamaha XV1000 Midnight Special. I don't have any digital photos of that bike but add some saddlebags and assorted other rough and ready travels bits and pieces to this and you'll get the picture. [image: Ncqk_Special.JPG]

Lz: Thanks for the link Pherim: Thanks for kind words Hi. I have decided to show rendered images of my latest spaceship model. As always I used Kerkythea to render it. I hope you like it [image: spac116FN.jpg] [image: spac115EN.jpg] [image: spac113FN.jpg] [image: spac114FN.jpg] I have also made an animation: http://youtu.be/oMAEyfQ4l9g

Thank you again guys, @ Tadema: Thank you! Yes, thea gives a lot of satisfaction, in my opinion has enormous potential, and it seems that the latest release can do remarkable things. The materials laboratory is a little complex, but when you start to pick up confidence you can get impressive results. @ Milo: Thank you man, image composition and integration of the bridge with the surrounding environment was the hardest of the work, I'm glad that the result is credible. I did not understand what you mean with "link between cort-en and white masts." Here a wireframe, just to take a look of the structure behind. Ciao [image: PQHH_wireframe.png]

One thing I'm noticing with the SCF store and hope it doesn't go the same way as the warehouse. There needs to be more information on the posted models. There are lots of Sofas in the last weeks posted into the store yet the quality could be questionable. Trust me I'm not saying they are AT ALL. But who knows??? There needs to be some notes or close up renders so one can know or see if the models are correctly mapped, for sofas this has to be a deal breaker! I understand there is a user rating in the store but that pretty much means nothing! Maybe reviews?

Nice, interesting design. I, too, thought of a sports arena. It would be interesting to see ou develop it further, as either.

The original render is huge, good render times for that size image.

It looks great. My only critique is the ceiling cut off line. The photograph looks a lot taller without it (portrait helps a lot also). I would have even hidden it, if it was a problem. A bit of artistic license !

I am very impressed, especially in view of the short time you have been using the software.

Really a lot of great stuff here, the NPR style really amazing, but render set was, in my opinion really nice. The last shoot was impressive, the color gradient and the mood you achieved are very, very tasty. Really a good job!! Ciao

stunning david. completely convincing.

Thank you Eric... allanx

Concept looks GREAT! I too would love to see a plan - the forward elevation looks like it could use more treatment or fenestration.

@bryan k said: Cool concept. Will you be adding more detail? Also, the texture of the windows looks odd. What are the lines? I did this one a long time back so i decided to leave it as more of a concept than a finished product

@unknownuser said: Where are the images of rendering ? I edited the main post to include the four images exported from SketchUp with a summery of the settings used. @unknownuser said: Fotosketcher is crazy good Pilou, so is Dynamic Auto Painter, check it out. http://www.mediachance.com/dap/index.html I didn't know about "Dynamic Auto Painter" seems great!...I'll give it a try. Thanks, Renderiza

Thanks for the comment Jaryn here is another update. moderators feel free to move this thread from the gallery to work in progress if you desire, [image: SXTH_PK.jpg]
