Dodge & burn is the way forward. I use it on every sketchup image I do, just to add a little "je ne sais quoi".

Thank you Bryan.

Yes, I must agree. I haven't seen this since hand drawing with pen and ink was popular. Some of our architectural 'perspectivist' may remember this. These look great! I Like the simplicity of the sections. Nice work.

Apocalypstic!

Well, it's not my style, far too 1970s for me ( ), but the model work and render are excellent!

Thanks for the feedback

Thnx allot guys for your feed bak great help. Tadema can plz briefly tell me wat u did in ps to get it to look like that?

I love steam punk. My brain does not think like that, but I can really appreciate the work and craft that goes into this style of rendering. Someone should give a tutorial on how to do them. Hint, hint.

The sky seems a bit dreary on the house renderings. Thanks for sharing!

I like it.

Good but, Imagine a room like this you are standing same as the camera angle, light outside is really like snap is of afternoon 2 clock in the summer. looking inside the light doesn't cover the room. you can also do that by adding passes in the vray for sketchup and then post-processed in photoshop. Keep V-ray rectangle light slightly away from the window so the window will not get over-exposed. You have to concentrate more on static lightning, I mean the if the room has more than 1 renderings then they have to be similar in material, lightning in all view. Your second image is not matching with the first. It happens.sometimes. The main thing in that is floor's material. you can also change it by using render element like "wire color".

Nice modelling, though I thoroughly dislike the design.

Thanks TIG for the explanation... Francis, here is my workflow: SU + Maxwell Render + Fotosketcher + Photoshop If you want to learn the technique the easy way please visit the shop section under books, you can find my tutorial there. http://sketchucation.com/shop/books allanx

Is that the Pixel Bender plugin in photoshop?

Nice video and design. The kitchen needs some detailing. It struck me as odd that there is a fire going int he fireplace during a warm season.

Thaks. Here is TheaRender. I found all the texture on the Internet.

I hope you don't mind ! Leaving away the bad retouch, what do you think about it ? [image: cFsQ_Removedwalla.jpg]

@jarynzlesa said: nice modeling - rendering . is it your design? what is the thickness of the plywood? Thanks, plywood thickness is 29mm 19layers. Design is half mine and the other half from various designs.

The porch is overpowering the rest of the house, it is to big. I suggest changing the porch to match the style of the main roof and keep it within the length of the side of the house. I have a problem with the porch roof line where it meets the balcony railing; changing the porch roof would correct the problem or maybe I am not viewing the railling area correctly. Just ideas, Bob

@ jpalm Glorious rendering, love it, may I ask you which render soft you use? Twilight. Thanks again for the model.
