[image: qPiw_poconceptcrawler0701C.jpg]Sometimes I feel like it would be worth trading my left arm for a job teaching this stuff. I've been doing some "quick concept models" lately, modeling all sorts of things . . . having fun.

Very nice render, I do like Builder too... Congrats...

Just beautiful as always! WC effect is great. If you don't mind me asking, what were your fotosketcher settings to achieve such a soft effect. I have experimented, but have never quite gotten the amazing results you did in this render.

Certainly I understand that the thing is there for technical (rendering) interest. I have always loathed hanging parts of dead animals on the walls myself though - especially above my head in a bedroom (so maybe a smoked ham in the pantry for instance is okay).

Thanks for the encouragement

Thanks.

Very cool!

Thanks. Yep, that's it. $499 is a leeeetle over the top, you can find these for around $100 most of the time. They're just uncommon.

I am building quite a nice little photographic studio around my iPhone and its not breaking the bank Mike, I'd love to see what else you have accumulated in accessory to your iphone! I'm one of those "don't relace it till it's broke" guys so I'm still slide phone, though as mine has stopped scollong in the last month I'm due update. I've been awaiting the ASUS pad phone to arive here before an update.

Thanks for your comments...

you are a texture and lighting god...

Very nice render.

Cheers Massimo. Can't wait to see your interior shots. BTW I reckon you need to get rid of the fence on the left side of the building.

In practice it is not possible, but in the imagination of man has a sense , all vehicles and aircraft are a work of fiction. As for the vehicles, it is a work of fiction inspired by the Russian vehicles. Besides these I have a lot more like the completed work of fiction.

@chedda said: Thanks for all the help Richard, can i apply a bump map directly in sketch up through the maxwell plugin interface, or is this something that has to be done in studio ? I am guessing mapping the crack in the wall in the centre of the image would be difficult to position, the glass bump would be easier. Position your bump map to the model in SU, this will by default set it for both the bump map and colour map. In the plugin material editor bump channel under source set to "use specific texture" and link to the same map externally, In the colour map channel again select "use specific texture".*** This should drop the colour map from this material yet maintain a bump map that utilises your UV's. Use this method for both your wall map and glass bump. *** you may want to use a map here with a VERY low contrast mottling created using your wall colour and a slightly off tone mixed using photoshop's Filter > Render > Clouds.

I love how that bed sheet came out. Nice renders overall.
