It is not so bad Thanks for sharing it. Manoj Singh

Nice work boo. IF those first ones don't make it as cars, I think they would make wonderful shoes!!!

Nice work. The image with people is teaming with life.

60 hours. 60 hours!!!! if its so then you're wrong my friend. Please find another app, try to have some fun, a man like you, com on oli.

Ok, file size: just over 1MB (but not finished yet) the meshlab thing, don't know how it works, it cant use .skp the model info>statistics in sketchup says (show nested components: unticked) = Faces 90 (show nested components: ticked) = Faces 51646 But faces aren't polys, so oh well.

ok guys.will do.hehehe

Was this only to get the set built or did other members of the crew get involved? For instance, did the Director of photography use it to set up camera angles and lighting positions. Where actors moved to various locations within the model? Did carpenters study the model prior to any construction work? Did the director block out the development of sequences within the virtual world? How long did the shoot take? How long was Charlie Daniels on set? Did he see the virtual model prior to signing up for the gig? --Roger

Hello Brodie, Hope you don't mind, rendered a sky (3 different variations achieved with post-pro) and used that sky for your current picture.. Oh well.. I was bored Edit: anybody feel free to use the sky for whatever purpose [image: KrOy_house20and20site20pp.jpg] [image: lRP6_Picture16.jpg] [image: bYnD_Picture16_1.jpg] [image: mPHJ_Picture16_2.jpg]

How did you go about modeling the cloth? I wish someone would develop a Ruby to handle cloth draping the way Cinema 4D can. I find it so hard to get it to look right. You have done a great job with that.

Sorry for double post, must've pressed the wrong button

@unknownuser said: Great work. The birds eye view shots are great. Scott thanks, scott. in general, i favor points of view that show the buildings as they will be viewed by their regular users but elevated points of view are certainly very useful to convey an idea of the project as a whole.

dear sinatra, plz change the background color to pale blue and set the sky color, white,. I hope it helps on more similarity to desired style. Edited: I mean plz do these changes over my styles

How did you make those wire meshes? Transparent .png or something like that?

Hi andre51 The panorama was 99% standard settings in Irender NXT - I made a few slight light effects with photoshop post render but the majority of the diffuse light effects were produced by the renderer itself.There is now a new beta available which allows up to 8 light channels to be tweaked instantly post render in a separate image editor(multiple lights on each channel including sun and sky - It would have saved me a few hours on post editing. Thanks for positive comments Boothy Sorry andre51 I went babbling on without answering question - Irender NXt uses indirect lighting - presume you would call raytrace rather than radiosity - Al does a good job of explaining on this post:http://nxt.accurender.com/forums/p/817/3433.aspx#3433

As someone who does NPR all the time, I can say that the hardest thing is to develop your own style of work. You don't want your images to look like all you have done is a couple of tweaks to a render, but to have a special quality that is your own. My suggestions would be: 1) look at what other people are doing and find styles that you like 2) look at architectural photography to get a sense of lighting. The image you posted has some very dark areas, and also has a rather cold color palette. A photographer will use warm fill lighting in various places that are in shadow. I also don't depend too much on the render, but hand draw a lot of elements using Photoshop and a pen tablet.

thanks again Oli! Dspace: I don't recall the spp value at the moment. It rendered something like a night and half-a-day, maybe reaching something about 1000s/px. But I could easily be wrong.

@unknownuser said: so that in case he had a thought in the night he could get up and write it down I can't even manage that when I am awake. @unknownuser said: His mind never rested. I make up for him on that one. Thank you, David.

First of all. I'd like to say that you have done two great things here: You appear to have successfully modeled a space that conveys a warm sense of place successfully. Yes, your render times are long but no one can argue that there is a large amount of detail here and a warm color scheme and good placement of elements and furnishings. You have created rendering that is decent enough to evoke comments from real masters here that encourage you to raise the bar. These are good signs of a good presentation. You can choose from one of at least 6 or 7 renderers for SketchUp but they will only make the model look so good no matter what you use. I think you have a well lighted and well detailed model. Nice work. And as far as rendering software is concerned, I like IRender nXt from RenderPlus Systems. Last week they just came out with version 3.0 of their software. This model may only take about 2 hours as opposed to 72hrs.

inxs was know abbreviation before the bend....sorry but unxpected just pokes in the eye too much....same like cirkel
