awesome - totally great stuff.

Thanks again guys.... No this is not in Texas but also in the States... allanx

Indeed Chip.

2 more images,the second is a part post processed maxwell image,based on the villa model previously uploaded by Hieru. Rich ,currently I have a demo version of Thea.I had access to the full version a few months ago but the company I was doing work for at the time are no longer in business.From what I see of thea it looks great but as I have already purchased vray,twilight and maxwell I am not in a position to purchase thea (as of yet).Currently I'm just playing around with different presentation styles/lighting moods.The method for the polaroid images is quite simple,overlay an orange/brown colour,add motion blur,add gaussian blur,add foreground elements and a vignete and thats it.

[image: 3O3H_Steel_Close-in_Final.png]Thanks guys for the comments. I work for a construction firm and we use images like this in our presentations to the potential client. This is the last in a series of construction images and it shows final completion. We add people in our construction scenes but I hadn't thought about adding them in the final image. We use scenes to show the different phases of construction so our guys can talk to it and explain our way of doing things. I used to use twilight and do from time to time when I have the time but lately it is really quick that these need to go out. We not trying to sell the design but our way of construction.

I like Roger's version with more light. It's sunny outside and brighter inside and overall make me feel more cheerful. The nymph ....

The new one is awesome. Great work. Especially on the roof. My critique would be the crop on the image is a little tight. Open up the view of the patio a little to add more of a "welcome to my backyard" feel.

IMO this is great modeling and even if it´s a quite rectangular car i´m quite impressed by the detail you´ve put into this baby. i also like that you shared your workflow. i´ve never been too much into automotive modeling but this makes me think about a giving it a go one day.

Absolutely fabulous.Great textures.B&W is the best!

@solo said: Nice scene. I like the reflection of myself looking out. Cool plants. Thought you'd like them. http://solosplace.com/3Dgarden.aspx for anyone wondering I like the refelction one too. Sometimes the ones with no commercial use like that one turn out best...

yeah yeah...verticals. [image: eisensteinbedv2072611co.png] roger.. How to get rid of blotches SU Podium V2 presets are calibrated to be as fast as possible. Unfortunately, some imperfections such as blotches or unexpected corner shadowing will sometimes appear in the rendered image. These anomalies can appear quite randomly especially on non-texture pale surface, corners and low polygon geometry scenes. Those imperfections are caused by the lower quality and precision of the Podium V2 preset. QMC presets are made especially to overcome this issue. But the cost is a substantially slower rendering time. QMC presets can also produce a more grainy image. To overcome the graininess of QMC presets, it is recommended that you render at a higher pixel resolution than you need and re size the image after it is completed. This will solve most of the current blotches and artifices. If they are still appearing with the QMC presets, please contact us. http://suplugins.com/help-faq-v2-2.php#blotches

I love seeing that Mazda pop up! I have a few cars that I'd love to own and that one is at the top of the list, they just don't make cars with that much style anymore - for me it's the amount of glass that grabs me I think!!

I can see a wonderful render out there, but very small resolution, can you please upload bigger size images ?

@cyberdactyl said: Very nice! My only comment is the vertical bands in the blue make it appear a bit like tightly stretched coated canvas with vertical supports behind. The vertical bands that you can see are actually very close to how it actually looks. They are blue plastic panels and each one is slightly bowed, giving it that appearance. Thanks for the comments!

I get you about a tilt shift camera, I use it in every architectural sceene, but I wanted to emphasise the perspective in this view, so I used normal camera, 20mm lens. There is a texture in every single material in the scene, including bump map, but it is hard to see, because I reduced the pic from its original size 4961x2791 px ( A3 format on 300 dpi), there will be some closeups, so the texture is bit more visible. Thanks for the comments, cheers

Yes, sir: I appreciated that fact, and was also watching the other thread regarding ball and claw and cabriole leg. I wish you success.

@dorfpunk said: $700??? wow that's nearly as much as my computer. Formfonts - Is it worth it? For me, I don't use 2d stuff at all because I do walkthrough/flythrough things for everything I do and they look weird for that so high quality 3d plants are kind of neccesary. Formfonts looks good and I'll probably get it but still the selection alone is far from sufficient. Where else should I look?

We can hear the seagulls cry!

amazing works! i can model in SU, also can render, but i definitely need to know more in blending images and post processing. wow!! great man.
