This is impressive, ummm, giving me ideas, thanks for sharing this with us

One thing about me and interior renders is that I can't get the lighting to look good but you sir seem to have mastered the art of interior lighting....Good job!

By the way Jo-ke if you bring the model in at a higher scale it often does not corrupt the geometry like you saw. I often bring in .3ds files and then explode scale & regroup.

Thx, I wanted to be sure to not have missed something! Have fun animation!

Fantastic and incredible as usual.

Sometimes you learn a little more about your relatives than you would like. Further research in the archives of the "New York Times" shows that Col. Hawkins and a Col. Streator were indicted for having a soldier strung up by his thumbs. It seems that a Pvt. Iams, while in ranks, cheered the news that a Mr. Frick, chairman of Carnegie Steel, was shot by an anarchist.

@massimo said: Thanks Steve. @unknownuser said: Curious tho - why is it called a Grasshopper lamp? Perhaps because it reminds a grasshopper? Well, that was my first thought. But I looked and looked at it and I just don't see a grasshopper there. Maybe a praying mantis? Well, anyhow, really nice work.

Can't see anything... Did you attache it?

I love the first one. Really captured it perfectly!

That's pretty cool! Is that striaght SU output?

Thanks guys, i was just having a play, the structure and scene are just imaginary. Shura, funny thing you commented. You know I had your image in my mind when I was making this...remember your twilight renders of a latticed structure? That was very inspiring to me http://twilightrender.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1664

How did the rain gutter work out? no gutters. @editor22 said: Wow its a shame you forgot about this, I would have loved to see a completed picture I have done some other work with the home owner recently...I will give him a call and ask him to send me a photo and I will post it. p

Jason, I realize you posted the Police Precinct some time ago but as I recently joined I have just run into them. This is great set design work. I was interested in how you go from SU models and renderings to plans for the construction crew to build from. You've got a seriously impressive set (75'x150'!)which then needed to be translated into the real world. I did see that you said your SU model was used to resolve questions on the complicated ceiling construction which made me think that maybe they were not using your model to create the construction plans. I currently started using SU and Layout to create set designs / plans / and renderings but I am very interested in how you work and what you do after your rendering stage. Also, seeing as this was months ago I thought you could say what show it was for as I would love to see the final footage and how the set came out on camera. Cheers, Tim Larsen

Elegant and practical. Well done. Love the style as well. (but yeah, the vacuum cleaner is way too small)

Fantastic stuff.

@qqq said: Looks very fresh and dynamic! How much time did it take for rendering/assembling video? Each frame was about 4 to 5 seconds and the hole animation I can't remember exactly but it felt like around 6 hours. For video editing I first tried Adobe Premier Pro and I could not make the resolution stay good since it compressed the video too much. On the other hand Windows Movie Maker did not altered the resolution which is good. The time for video editing was really fast no more than 2 hours. Thanks

Yeah no worries i have to say these photos are really too perfect and you can think they are renderings but no...If it was renderings it would be some pretty good one

Really nice presentation work, I like the building design too.

Rewally nice work!
