Shaderlight? Holy moly. I like the water rings on the coffee table.

Oh! Nice!

Impressive stuff, Thank You!

I like the render with the tree life at the top of the techno building... nice.

i like the second, the fourth and the five render

...and where the driver?...virtual?

Thanks everyone for having a look. Your suggestions are definitely appreciated. majid, great tutorial, thanks.

Wow. Great renders.

@solo said: John I have loved all your period inspired homes, I'd really like to see more, maybe a compilation of them all in a scene. What he said.

Classic modern chair. Excellent render.

I would LOVE to hang out in that garden. Well done.

Thanks, but that is just a screenshot of a 3D model found on the internet. My pathetic little model is here, if you´re interested: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=27402

A friend of mine has 2 of the originals. One amazing camera. Good model.

Simon, if you don't mind, I split the posts about the Thea panoramas off. You can find the new topic here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=34350

Nice looking, moody illustration, but a bit dark to see the architecture (if that was the goal). Where's Edward?

Beautiful work! I love the flags and the wheel of dharma railing.

Thanks for the kind words. Cheers Richard and Alessandro.

@dave r said: Thank you Mike. I agree with you. I'm always impressed with the photo-realistic renders I see here but I really have little interest in making them myself. I much prefer images like this. ...... I am afraid we are 'old school' Dave, going back to the days of 'workarounds' for glass transparency

Thanks Lads, I used V-ray, as pointed out the glass turned out not so good. John

@bryan k said: @olishea said: Bryan K: you may want to use a depth render to fake underwater effects...you can use it as a mask in photoshop...let the image fade into blue for mirkier water. why not try adding a water texture above and use sun for lighting so it casts caustics onto the rover.....just a thought. Thanks Olishea. Some good ideas. However, I'm using the basic free version of Shaderlight. Not a lot of controls. Not sure how to do the Photoshop effect. I get what you mean, but I don't know how to do it. Tried the texture above. It didn't look good. I did darken the light though. [attachment=0:3rdhj1zz]<!-- ia0 -->subseaROVrenderlights2.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:3rdhj1zz] Everybody is jumping on the submarine bandwagon this month. http://liam887.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/submarine-model/ I also tried to get the reflection water texture on the sub but I could not get t to work correctly and that was disappointing. Its always annoying when you know exactly what you want to do but just cant get it to work! If you figure it out or get a good effect post it here will be nice to try it myself.
