Here is the next part of the tutorial. http://nomeradona.blogspot.com/2011/05/virtual-reality-tutorial-part-2.html

There are experiments however... YouTube - Prisoners in Pink: CBS News [flash=480,385:313qfr41]http://www.youtube.com/v/llXPtNGEKn4[/flash:313qfr41] I think I'll split these OT posts off the original which should not be spoiled by them...)

@mike lucey said: If I had one of those I'd hang it on the ceiling. I couldn't see myself letting a kid use it. Great model and well rendered. Please let us more about the process involved? As far as I was able to explain ... I do not know. I think this is all clear. [image: http://i52.tinypic.com/2rwke8j.jpg]

For mac users, not advanced users I mean, here, its very fast no cuda though. Multiple UVs work fine in this one. http://www.graphicall.org/117 (watch out, OSX 10.6.7 only!)

absolument superbe !!!!

Thank you

Very nice. Clean style. Scott

@marked001 said: broomstick.. you're giving me too much credit. i did this in pshop... but that is actually a great idea An idea that I tried as soon as I saw your renders... to no avail: fog only works "upwards" it seems, and I was not able to replicate the effect you made there. I realized after writing my comment that it was photoshop... Nice images tho, very professional. Sometimes a nice model with clean lines and good colors is enough to convey one's idea

@srx said: I like it. Good modeling and details. .. Thanks SRX, you're right. It's got more feeling this way. nice job

@tadema said: Thanks, the raw render output is below, the Ivy was just one leaf made into a component, moved, scaled ect. Not perfect but better than PS, all the plants-trees are PS. John Ah, excellent! Thanks for the info.

very nice. beautiful colouring. i like your font in the first image.

Hi Pete and Crankston, Thanks for your kind comments. Yes, it is often the case that you think the build should be relatively easy. The difficulties will only be visible later because you have considered but not all. Charly

Thanks all, the last image was a bit of an afterthought after so much tweaking with the render. I used a great little piece of software http://www.hdrsoft.com/download/win.html , it's for hdri but you can use 1 image or adjust the exposure in PS first for 3 or 5 bracketed images. Thanks John

great start, yamh. I really like the wallpainting! You might want to try a displacement map on the rug if your renderer allows it... which one are you using? And maybe either show a little less of the white floor, or add a bit of interest with a different texture

nice one I like the blue roof I want a blue roof like that, and a little tower!

Pretty good, the water in the pool looks more like metal than water, however. Maybe if it were slightly more translucent than it would look more real. A simple bump-map might also help. Cheers,

Thanks mitcorb and leedeetee. I have been looking at thois image so much the past few days that i felt that way too. Here is an image I found on the web of the actual place: Here is a photo of the actual Drive Inn: (See: Michigan Exposures) [image: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IUEeCaJU5j0/Ss_3bxz3e_I/AAAAAAAAD34/Q8hbDxLv4L4/s400/chick5.jpg]

@unknownuser said: These images are only a part of the whole modeling job And you get paid to do this?.....lucky bastard!!!

Here is another scene from the project...the Gallery area of the Cinema. I will render this one and will post the render here... allanx [image: Gallery_illustration.jpg]

Those wooden figures are fantastic and the facial expression is great. Well done Scott
