Photos these days are just so unrealistic!

Wow.

You are very talented. p

Hello jsteacy, sorry about spelling your name wrong, it was unintentional. I modelled the roof tiles, I think they always look better and they don't take long. Thanks for the comments, John.

@bryan k said: Did that help with your video card? The new renders look good. Im not sure Bryan, but I guess so. And I think that is rendering faster. I dont know how graphic card work during rendering. I have 4 core cpu and its under 100% load, but graphic card is not working a lot. But I can see improvment clearly. Anyway thank you for help. I would like to know more about it. Have to do some searching

Way cool. One of my first more complicated successful models was an old subsea wellhead. Looks great.

Thanks Dale! The tick in the circle has now become their registered trademark, they liked the tick idea so much they wanted it to the name as well, which I wasn't happy with but agreed as long as they agreed that they are NEVER used on a page together as they clash badly!

This may be the last image for this job. The clients have decided to use us for this remodel job but the budget may not justify any further modeling/rendering. On a daily basis sketchup & podium and the help that can be found on these forums proves to becoming more and more essential to our companies ability to communicate with our clients, sub contractrs and each other. Thanks for all your comments. Paul [image: 9MA6_greatroom.jpg][image: CoN4_great-room-proposed.jpg]

Thank you guys! Means a lot! Richard - although it's not my intention to grab anyone by the balls, I am glad that my render did! JSteacy - Thanks. The rain image was actually one of the better received renders! Mike - The project is actually over, but I am willing to do extra stuff. But, the model is a HUGE file! Over 4 million edges and over 1.6 million faces. Sketchup is really laggy even on my i7 and Quadro FX1700 with this file. I might have to give Lumion a try though when I get the time! Hopefully it'll be able to handle the file a bit better . I've actually never really worked with animation before though. Should be fun!

Great renders, especially the close-ups. Awesome!

Great as always. 3D painter. Spotlights escaped a bit.

Thanks again guys.

Nice design. Looking good!

Posted my latest render as well as a render I did along the way. Hope you like them. Please let me know what I should do to make it better. [image: 9xl5_desk_render6.jpg]

Crazy! Mate for a home in NZ it seems very compartmented. I would have imagined NZ would have even in older homes more connection between the kitchen / dining / living?

First attempt with IRender nXt [image: Roomtest1d3.png?width=495&height=600]

Hi yes the buildings are my work, we also do another range with pitched roofs, o even vertically clad cedar. Many of the choices are the customers own. I'm unsure what to do post processing as I never get to a high level with adobe. I bump map the grass in podium.

Cool.

Very nice!

Great work
