Starting to use the materials editor... Running pretty slow on my laptop. If this works its way into my workflow I'll need to step up to a workstation. [image: OErV_honeoye-rendertest7.jpg]

EarthMover , Thanks for the tree link. I think I need to remember what size the final image will be viewed at when I am changing foreground items. I tend to get hung up on making the stuff one will not see correct and that takes time. I am zoomed into individual pix level too often when I am editing. So, Thanks again for your and others advice. Viztecture,You mean I will make money at this someday? Paul

My first try to render car in Thea. Model is downloaded from 3dwarehouse .. [image: or0M_Veyron_thea.png]

@jo-ke said: looks very good!! Personally I would change the rooftexture, it looks a bit like tiles Agreed! @earthmover said: Another tip for finding high res grass images is to search google images for "golf course" and change the image search size to "large". Lots of good hi-res grass with different angles and shadowing. Thanks again. p

Very nice furniture, Roberto. Have a great day! _KN

Good point, I did start off with reference image but it would certainly give a much more foreboding feel if the corridor were longer. In terms of depth... have you used one of the Beta's? because I know the previous ones had an issue with tone mapping which meant images looked quite flat. I'm using a newer beta which theyve fixed all those problems and its looking good now imo.

Great modelling Julie and nice results with Podium! I see the light 'hotspots' in two of the images. Must be a real bummer for you to get those when otherwise your results are so great. Regards, Ross

If the numbers on the locos had been different, I'd have said it's not a render but real. Cool.

Looks awesome!!!

Hi guys @sir said: great start and welcome. nice layout and some good stuff you grabbed from the warehouse. some crits the whole thing is a bit dark, and id say the sun on the floor needs to be a bit brighter too maybe move the roses left a bit more, to draw the eye into the center, i thikn they draw too much attention atm finally, im not quite sure what is meant to be the focus of the image, if its the chair then maybe the background is too much? if its the background, its not enough maybe put a boat or something! just my opinions You are right, I tried to put the camera focus on the chair, but that might have been not the greatest idea. Thank you very much for your feedback @unkr3at1v said: I think I remember this room from some kind of vray interior tutorial! Am I right? But the picture looks nice, also if it has a little too much green in it! Greetz, Fritz Thank you very much for your feedback. And you're right this room is from a vray interior tutorial from andeciuala [image: WyMF_app4.jpg] In my new render I tried to incorporate all your guys feedback and I wanted to see what you think about the changes I made. Greetz, Alex

and a second one after 28 passes and 3,5 hours with preset 10 pp photoshop reduce noise and contrast [image: Q3Rz_com-neubruch-render014pp.jpg]

Very nice. I'd eat there.

Regarding the Render Software: I will quickly tell you that there are others here who can better serve you on this question. Maybe you can search through the Forum, see what has been discussed in other threads. There is at least one thread on best renderer. Just use keywords in the search box. Good Luck

@ honoluludesktop - That's what I was thinking as well. @ matsuo_lano - I like the aesthetic concept, but to be honest I don't really understand the design and I'm not sure how the structure is supposed to work. I'm particularly wary of the symmetrical design - it's usually an indication that someone is putting aesthetics over and above any consideration for the way spaces function and interact.....but I could be wrong. Some floor plans or cross sections would be useful.

thanks for the suggestions,,mr daniel and mr viztecture, I'll correct my mistake,, and after this I will certainly render look better......

I was awaiting your reply!!

Thanks omiKron. (your name seems like "omicron" to me the greek letter "o") Thanks fred and pilou Added the fish, its a new podium v2 render. [image: qKR0_venusTest22010-09-16.jpg]

I'd be interested in this too, what would an experienced sketchup user do/what would a good approach be if he wanted to model a detailed bathrobe that was hanging from a hook?
