The plants are placed in sketchup either billboards, models or proxies.Most renders take overnight on my 12 core mac pro at 4mp. Maxwell being unbiased is always predictable. I save a lot of time in setting a scene because of this.

I love it michaliszissiou Five stars! I am study zbrush right now.

Hi Sean, I can say without envy that your pictures are fantastic. Unfortunately, I will never reach this level of perfection. But still it is fun to look at your pictures. Charly

That is really attractive...looks exactly like a pen & watercolor drawing.

Nice!

Nice plans & sections, though I can't help but feel the proportions externally don't look right.

@solo said: Brilliant,clean and uncluttered, I wish I had clients like this that did not insist on adding people and cars to all scenes. edit, I expanded the night image, there are lots of 'fireflies'. Yeah, it's something of a rarity to have a client/architect that doesn't mind me not filling the scene with "life" as they so often call it. I know a lot of people feel quite strongly about showing buildings with people in, because that's why they are designed in the first place; but I think a building should be able to stand alone and look great. Yeah, those fireflies were really annoying which I shall explain in a second... @unknownuser said: I like 'em. However, they're a tad too noisy, and your AA isn't great. I know, and this is the same reason the fireflies are in the dusk image; time. I had to reduce the render settings due to the fact the images weren't rendering fast enough - they were needed for the next day so I simply couldn't take any chances. In hindsight I've learnt so much since I did this project that I'd love to be able to go back and apply to it, but I just don't have the time.

Excellent render and design.

Pretty cool!

Very nice!

Photoshop is a little bit out of my range as a student GIMP sounds good! What is the sectret behind realism in maxwell render and other engines? The realism comes with time, practice and practice right?

Yeah Futurepast, lets see it. Is it visible publicly - could I drive by and see it when its done? I'd like to see it. It sounds pretty cool.

We won the second scheme too! ~£40m contract value, but spread over probably around 5 to 10 years.

Really nice...! Love all the details...!

Excellent renders.
