great work..makes me want to break out the top gun quotes... Slider: Goose, whose butt did you kiss to get in here anyway? Goose: The list is long, but distinguished. Slider: Yeah, well so is my Johnson.

Background over exposed

Nice work David. I think I understand what you are trying to achieve with this render .... 'unposed composition'? It works for me. I see so many 'dramatic compositions' and while they are normally excellent technically, they don't give that 'lived in' look for me. The wheely bin is a nice touch. I had to laugh when I saw it as there was a wheely bin outside my house in Ennis when the Google StreetView guys drove by BTW, attached is a slate texture that I use. I must try to mod this image to create a 'slate and a half' every second course .... the proper way to do things Mike [image: lRXa_blue-grey-slate_287.jpg]

@michaliszissiou said: Great taste indeed. excellent work! But I'm so familiar with the adobe suite, I really love illustrator but I mostly use it with the wacom pen. Thanks Michalis! Mate I'd love to get my head around illustrator though I find it so unintuitive. It is certainly WAY ahead of LO in respect to what can be achieved though for simple stuff like this logo it is really hard to beat LO for shear simplicity and fast workflow. In the Karrara brochure above, the architects supplied the floor plans generated from DWG import to Illustrator and then to PDF at between 200-300mb per plan and 9 to be used through the brochure I was stuffed as it ground indesign to a hault! The equal LO plan like those Marcus (d12dozr) did up for me recently generally weigh in about 50-60kb and SO clean! The example plan above if using image based furniture weigh in about 2Mb due to the raster inclusion. That said like you I'd still love to get my head around illustrator, only remains on the wish list for now!

@unknownuser said: Fun. I think what is missing is the idea of a nose of some sort. don't tell that to patrick star [image: patrick_star-4854.jpg]

[image: teaV_baza_police_station_sm.jpg] As Yogi Berra said, "Deja vu all over again." Your render reminds me of police headquarters in Baza, Spain. A nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.

Really fine way to take a standard desk and turn it into something quite pleasing. Great stuff Ross.

Thanks Oli, I like that one the best as well. Smart drop is a one click operation whereas Fur has more parameters that I honestly have not explored at all.

I love it, These textures on rocks are a photo combination, parts of my watercolors sometimes. Now watercolors again LOL. Its the horizon, the lighting on the see what doesn't look OK. You used a background image, not reflected material, thats why. This nice figure looks more convincing now. Try the higher definition rocks too. @unknownuser said: I only wish my real watercolour skills could get as good a result Your wish could come true, normally a watercolorist never uses white paint. This is a myth. I little bit of white with dark brown-black and lot of water for transparency is what gives these grey tones. A trick coming from the king of this medium. Dürer... and spray using your finger on brush ... Andrew Wyeth.

Great start; I have a couple of comments if I may. The brick at the top of the opening seems to be a half brick. The ceiling in the opening seems to be hanging brick, how do you plan on hanging that brick? The siding on the upper would typically have corner boards.

Very nice Martin That looks great and 10 minutes is quite fast.

Thank you for all the kind words guys...I have a few projects that I am working on now, but when I wrap those up, I will post some wireframe/SU views to give everyone a better idea of the post production work that went into a lot of these. I am glad everyone enjoyed my work and thanks for the comments.

Welcome and as ken said, a good start. @ken: Kepf may has his own plans when importing to poser. Even better kepf, you could export the obj from poser to blender and render there (much more options), you may want to convert obj to 3ds (blender) and export to SU free. I like imports-exports, I'm good on this LOL But the real problem is the exports from SU (especially the free version). The pro version has a decent obj exporter OK. Try to find and use the SU6. It exports to google earth (google earth 4) format. Rename it to .zip, unzip it and you find a decent collada file at last. Use this. Don't expect much from textures though, the reversed (bluish) faces are a problem.

Great job! Keep it up. _KN

A different project this time,I will be re rendering as the original render had quite a low light cache setting which became more noticable when I increased contrast(more so around window reveals which show some burn out as does the seating at foreground) [image: un3p_night.jpg]

very nice brick textures on 3rd image "Good Job"

Hi Eric, Very nice set that we have here...Congrats...

Another quick one [image: Xlcv_Motherboard3.jpg]
