@pbacot said: 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)! http://BuiltBrand.com.au @unknownuser said: 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!! @unknownuser said: 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!

@utiler said: 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.

Челябинск?

Thank you for your comment.

Excellent again John, your like some sort of machine churnin' em out !

Beautiful work! A small suggestion - would look more realistic if the props weren't all in the exact same position.

Great presentation and models.

Hi, All work was done in SketchUp. Steps: Import photo, trace the outlines onto a plane, trace a skeleton, displace the central parts of the skeleton, weave meshes inside the blocks. I depended largely on Tgi3D's curve capabilities. [image: LcFL_dphases.jpg] I am also attaching the sketchup file with the 3D warehouse licesing terms (i.e free). It can be easily slapped on a plane. enjoy Ogan dragoncarving.skp

Here's a streetscape I rendered a while back in Thea.The original Thea render is much darker than the final watercolour so I had to increase brightness and saturation before starting the main process. [image: XQC8_street03.jpg] [image: N70E_WATERCOLOURSTREETBRIGHT.jpg]

No need to be sorry Mike. I was kidding around.

fun renders using Thea render and proxy option [image: aoV7_e-1.jpg] [image: kzjZ_r.jpg]

...nothing earth-shattering here, just more of the same...but here is phase 2 of the project. the aerial view didnt come out so hot was in a rush and couldnt get it quite right. [image: wi04_phase2_v1.jpg] [image: d6sS_phase2_v2.jpg] [image: Kzl0_phase2_v3.jpg]

Rodin revival!

Must be in the must impressive Gallery

Mate, I'd probably throw a tree in the foreground to cast a leaf shadow on to the terrace to liven it up!
