Thanks Dale and Stefan...I'm happy that you noticed Khal drogo, I saw him in the season finale which inspire me to do a sketch and used it as avatar...

@dale said: Fred, your work just keeps getting better. Thanks @roger said: Where did you find the flying carpet? Looks like the left corner is revved up and ready to go. Ok just see it... @stefanq said: Fred, every time you make a new post, I become a bigger fan of yours. If you continue to do so, I'll be your number one fan. Since in the last topic of yours I brought into discussion the beautiful Candice, and after reviewing some of her images (Google images) I've noticed that your images are very "earthy" to say so. What I mean is that I think you need some blue or gray in your color scheme. Not saturated , and just here and there, like a sofa, a curtain or a small wall. I'm not very good with colors, I just love architecture and interior design more and more, and I don't necessary know what I'm talking about. It's just something that you could experiment. Regards, Stefan Thanks a lot Stef for your kind comment, I notice what you say about the colour shame.

I've definitely gotten a bit 'bloom' happy lately...not sure why. Maybe because I'm late to the game and just discovered it..haha. Agreed on that chick.. she was a rush job to get in there the first time and for whatever reason, I didn't replace her

I love the trees Im a big fan of the conceptual/NPR styles and I think these trees would be great for them. Regarding your render I think that the grass is a little too big, might have to scale it down a bit. Looks good though

Yes indeed, it was a lot of work. It took a whole school semester of 10 weeks. The details in the 4th and 5th picture are sketches made by hand. And I gave them a color in Photoshop. The 3d details below these sketches are rendered in Vray. The materials are named in indesign. Here is a simple interior render I made this morning for a presentation tomorrow. I ain't 100% satisfied with it, but the purpose of this render is to show how the steelwork was formed and to understand the details better. [image: interiorpsd.png]

Yeah great image the contrast is spot on, makes it pop.

@roger said: Mottle the light hitting the driveway. Like light filtering down through tree branches Add some foreground framing. great idea... I shall try that

Great lighting and subtle tones - I like it! One of your best, Fred.

This is all out of my realm but I'll come back for the learning if need be. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe it needs two American flags.

Is that Mehmed II (the "Conqueror") on the left? (This is not a "corner" but a whole room though ) And of course, like the whole setup.

Here's one of his images, just in case: [attachment=0:21v6hk3y]<!-- ia0 -->PONENT NOCHE 10.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:21v6hk3y] i looked up the link in this post and i really like the palm trees he used...can someone tell me how he did them? i would say they are made in photoshop? on the other hand somehow it looks rendered (judging by the 3d'ish optic and the shadows) Those are speed tree models - "real" 3D although behave in a level of detail mode. Part of the Lumion rendering application 3D library.

Thanks Richard I still haven't' managed to sort out the lilies model yet - too many distractions - but I'll get there eventually

Looks great and well done, can we see a painted version?

Yeah WOW Roy. Really great job mate, I'm impressed!!

Thank you guys, I really find these jobs fun! @Michalis - mate I haven't edited SU vectors though I have vectors created native in Layout. Though do tend to avoid illustrator at all costs. I just don't find it user friendly!

I am a podium user and have love it. But looking at these I have to say I prefer the Vray render. The lighting and detail seem much crisper and warmer.

@chedda said: These plants & flamingo i believe are credited to Solo (here on the forum). They were available from his site as a paid download see plant pack 1. I have bought these and can say they are very well made. They are included in the Podium V2 Browser in 3D plants and I agree, they are extremely well done. I wish there were more of that quality.
