Thanks Dean. My problem is getting the Kerky models, from the Kerky models library, to load on the render stage. Some of them will, some of them won't.

Thanks Dave. It will be a while before I work in the Hab/Command Module interiors. I'll probably post them as a separate post in a few weeks.

Ross, glad to see you doing some solar projects. I know there some anti-solar Luddites that lurk in our forums, but I am starting to see the handwriting on the wall. There are several precursors that I recently noticed. Two large home improvement outlets here in Phoenix, Arizona carry laser aimed non contact thermometers for checking energy efficiency. When I went to buy one, both companies were temporarily sold out. I checked with a local distributor of the Sanyo double HIT solar panels that you told me about and they were also sold out (although its possible that could be traced back to Tsunami/nuclear failure shortages). Here and there I am seeing more units installed one-by-one and am seeing a lot more ads from installers. However, the one thing that bothers me is that I am not impressed with the type of installation being done. The solar units are being tightly coupled to the roof surface. The results are: The units transmit solar heat to the roof The units themselves are less electrically efficient at higher temperatures The units are not being used to create wall shade which in itself would lower electrical demand

what are you using for the model? did you build it in sketchup? i think the scale is a little off.... the sinks are small, and the window sills are high... apart from that, everything is great for a newbie. i agree about the wood texture comments too. learn more, good luck!

Thanks everyone, I never expected that Sammy would cause so much trouble Liam the render is loosely based on a picture as is all my renders. Paul your correct and I changed a few things, I can see quite a few flaws in the render that others have not picked up, the hunters have taken Sammy. bjornkn, I knew someone would discover the artistic meaning behind my pictures , if only I could.

It looks cool. I'll have to take a look at it.

attached are screensnaps of the actual resolution of the image,to say it broke my heart would be an understatment. [image: zwhm_ScreenHunter_001.jpg] [image: iMoa_ScreenHunter_002.jpg] [image: foVg_ScreenHunter_003.jpg] [image: jn4J_ScreenHunter_005.jpg]

Thanks notareal.

Vote 1 for 1! I like the cleanliness of it, I find images that are too dirty to distract from the cause - showing the subject.

This sounds like having TIG do all the work for us with just a few clicks.

Fun! (pretty cool actually )

Hi. Just to say that all the NPR entourage at add life is now only £2.00 GBP for 20 and totally royalty free.

thanks again for the feedback I am happy to stay here, but previously mods have got a bit pissed on other forums if I post in the wrong place... I did design a bit of the furniture, if you see the video I made the dining table and all of the kitchen from scratch (apart from the texture of the dishwasher) myself, and got the sofa and TV from the warehouse. it does take time, I took about as long just doing stairs, doors, kitchen induvidually as the rest of the house!

@pmolson said: Edson. Very neat project...I mean neat as in cool to look at as well as neat in an orderly way. Nice work! paul thanks, paul. I must say I enjoyed doing this competition a lot.

Thanks Edson! Appreciate it.

..and the exterior, which didn't come out great... mostly because I just clicked render...haha.. the focus of this meeting is interior, so I'll come back to these later on.. [image: yeoret1062811.png] [image: yeoret2062811.png]

Very nice. I like the irregularities such as a random open window and the open door. It really adds realism and takes away some of the monotony of repeating geometry.

Did you know there are 64,000,000 empty apartments in China? We thought the real estate bubble was bad here in the US. Sixty-four million vacant apartments Wow!

Why are the straight runs on the radiators and the bedframe segmented? Maybe a little high poly for the result? Not a criticism, but just want to know if there is a purpose to the method?
