@michaliszissiou said: Glass works fine now. What confuses me is this casted shadow on ground face. Some soft shadows would look better, perhaps not enabled for the light source?

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback

hi sid, thanks man.. another one rerendering and redesigning [image: render-interior-done.jpg] [image: interior-3.jpg]

@designerstuart said: cool. did you build each component separately? (also it would help if hidden geometry was turned on in wireframe, but do not worry!) thanks for sharing. Haha sorry about the wireframe not showing hidden geometry, I'm still pretty new to sketchup. And yes most of the components were built separately because I found it easier to build them and then import them into the model. Heres a few better shots of the crf.

as usual excellent work. congratulation

Trees from ngPlant. Need to work on something else. Maybe, with something that has windows. [image: s3gj_StuccoFineE.jpg]

Creating realistic camera movements is pretty hard. When I do Sketchup walk-through's I use the scenes/animation for most of my camera movements and then some manual movements with the mouse. I'll try to mix them up so you don't see the exact same pan, rotation or zoom over and over again. I also use a program called FRAPS that records video of any Direct X program. I don't use Artlantis but it looks very nice with all the shadows and sky rendered. You will probably have to do a lot more trial-n-error to be pleased with your camera movements. Let me know what you figure out.

Thanks for the compliments! I rendered the frames at 2560x1440 30fps then I used Photoshop to run a script and downsample the images to 1280x720. It's a few extra steps, but the results were better than having sketchup produce 1280x720 files. The semi-photorealistic portion was rendered in Kerkythea.

lol.... I know, IO know, I keep promissing ....ok one of these days....

both are great . some minor attention will improve: rise up "every thing" on table about 1 mm to have a fine narrow shadow under em. give a bump map to carpet too.

Sawadee Jeri. I was wondering if the middle render with the very dark sky was meant to be a night view. I borrowed the image and played with it to enhance the night view effect. [image: ozem_temple.jpg]

The repeat in the wallpaper is the first thing I saw. Scott

interesting painting nomer !!! Technically speaking, why not just Ps? There're hi density sculpting tools out there. For constructing lot of variations of textures. I think SU is the less helpful for this kind of work. ZBrush is probably the most. The 2.5d Zmode especially.

Nice. With such opulence, you'd think they could afford a bigger tub than the standard size, though.

nice work - would be nice to see in a different style to see all the juicy details

@leedeetee said: An interesting shape, that for sure. Doesn't much look like a building, although it would make an ace jelly mould. Have you thought about adding some textures to your facades? Yes, but I can't think of a good texture. Thanks for the great jelly mould idea. I'll find a Chinese jelly-mould manufacturer to make it!

hi shaheen, that method in itself is not bad, but you really have to watch your blur radius. also now that I take a closer look... in your second image, the background image doesn't align with the render; the horizon is too high
