I was going to say your flags were backwards But I suppose in those days the wind in the sails would mean flags flew forward. Nice detail catch.

thanks for the feedback, i know i should work on the engine, i started making some generic looking ones for future models (I4 F4 I6 V6 V8 F12 V12) in terms of the render, i would like it too look a bet more realistic any help would be appreciated

Very nice, jo-ke. DOF works great. Very realsitic. I also like the reflection. 👍

Thanks Carsten, excellent clock that will fit into many scenes 👍

It's the unbelievable quality of your work that tells me to just stick to my cars.

A million dollars if you'll teach me your methods (in small monthly payments, of course 😉 )

Really amazing ,im a big fan of industrial architecture. Great job!

They are actually protestant. Yeah with no modesty way better the the Salvation Cathedral 🤣 . Thank you for commeting! 😄

The grey buildings kind of ruin the illusion. But it's looking very real... I might suggest some more darkened car colors. You don't see many orange cars. Great job though... The view and the scaling and the textures... very nice.

Having worked with ammonia blueprint machines in the 80s, I'll stick with stains!

I see what you mean, you'd have to group off each part then run the plugin, it's just because of the returns and grooves.

Listening to the various comments, I have applied multiple changes and I think I was able to improve it. (less light comming from the front now and a couple of other tweaks)

Actually, it is a dream project. I saw the water materials in the rendering program and wanted to test it. I also wanted to draw a lawn in the shape of a small hill.
The sketchup plugins such as Curviloft and Perpendicular faces are very helpful to make complicated models very easily. My many thanks to all the sketchucation team.

I tried to model clean, don't know if i did a good job of it. Turbosmoothed relevant geometry once inside 3dsmax.

Nice Richard. Are these for companies or are you working on a promotional portfolio? (like Don Draper made to get his job?). The cube is great1

Mate at the moment they aren't for companies but hopefully so! Meaning I've designed them and making them available for purchase. I know strange sort of business model but my hope is that someone starting up, new project home company or developer who is struggling for a good Brand sees the opportunity in at least one and then I can further value add. Developing the brand, print and web design, all market collateral, signage and advertising.

I guess the model is a little like the "Brand Crowd" model excepting there the majority of logos are available with an attached domain. To me that makes them rather worthless unless completely generic, and that raises other issues.

Check out my website it might give a better understanding (though I've still got a lot of work to do on it)!

Can you subtract the background shapes-cut out the forwards shapes? That's how I'd do it in other programs.

Unfortunately that is one of the features missing from layout!! 👎

I thought of Honda for the first logo.

You're right mate, it was funny, I did the design then walked over to the beach to chill and walked straight past a Honda. I raced back thinking wow that's a bit iffy! Though I think it is certainly dissimilar enough. Though with any logo I always recommend a complete trademark search within the proposed category or preliminary application to ensure one doesn't get in the pooh later!

The original concept started as a wedge shaped 'H' with a yacht hull and winged keel separating the sides but aiming to depict a hull schematically wasn't working well! So I went with something that may still be interpreted as such!

WHat's your render program, japc? looks nice and clean... 👍

Hi utiler.
I used Indigo Render and some post-production in PS.

Efficient trilogy! ☀

Looks good, the biggest problem is the viewpoint. It feels uncomfortable like you are kneeling or lying down looking up. Maybe the sofa is a bit sharp at the edges and the texture could be better. I do a lot of similar ceiling designs for customers personally i don't like it because you lose so much space.Also i expect in reality that there are a lot of lights for this space but this is down to your client and brief.

SketchUp to avi, then opened with Window's Live Movie Maker and saved for use in Youtube.

Thanks guys. 😄

Thanks Solo for alerting us. I didn't have the latest version, and downloaded it. The scripts are a fantastic new tool. Thanks also to David Thoiron for developing and continued improvement of this freeware.
