Well, here's something a bit fancier: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjQZORhNuGM I still haven't figured out how to do spotlights (I fail, I know).

hey, Thanx urgen. BTW I like your quote "pupil for ever"

Very realist except color of the road and the ground

Thanks Markus. I like the $tone too. I have little to do with design decisions on this one though, I am just modeling and producing construction docs. I am sending you a PM. p

yes, sometimes we challenge ourselves for no other reason but the challenge. we forget that in most cases simple is better.

Hey Alex - wondered where you'd been hiding. Obviously hard at work. Great work as usual, and always nice to see SU integrated into a production pipeline. Always look forward to your posts. Andy.

So we know the way the building is facing now with that little statue addition! As others have said - interesting design. The pool needs to have 12 oxen below it Rick

Really fun to watch. Great stuff

Thanks, Ken! Hope you have a terrific day too!

fymoro: i use skp 6 and vray 1.00 for me the best version of vray till now Malaise: thx bro

i think if anyone has a copy it would be nice if they posted it and Jim could get a copy back. Maybe you could list all the plugins you lost. i'm sure there are copies hangin around.

@anssi said: To me it seems to be part of your professional ethics to do it well even if you don't like the client's idea. I have always admired the way you work with SU output. Anssi Thanks mate! Funny though if I don't like the way the client wants to do it I just tell them sure, I can do it that way it will just take longer and cost more! Hopeful!!!

the materials and lighting are everything now, as you have a good model (I believe) I don't think the materials have a realistic look to them at all currently. perhaps if you were to find a trusted 'buddy' over at the KT forum to help work out the mats, you could have a killer render. definitely look at the aged metal library they have for download.

and what would be the result if I change the hi-poly center axis, usilg Alt+klick on it, at the refrence instance?

Awesome work Carlos!! Can't figure out if this is a render or an actual photograph!!! yeah I know that it's a render but still wanted to say that?? Have you done any post processing in this render or just straightaway jpeg export from vray frame buffer?? The lighting, materials, shadows are looking really amazing...!!! Good job!!!

Nonetheless a REALLY nice render...!!

The first one rocks!!! I realy like the architecture of the house. We don't really have a chance to do houses of this proportions in our country )) looks like a small hotel Fantastic work Tom!

Hi! the scene is well done, to me, but... any further info? it seems you've used some render engine.. but the image looks pretty like a raw SU view. And what's the purpose? I mean if you're working for a photorealistic scene there are so many issues yet...

hahaha i just got the Abby Normal´s joke, very nice
