thank you very much

i'll get the url from my work computer when im back tomorrow, cant remember exact place i found the tutorials.

start off with some of the basic shapes and select edges/faces etc and right click to see all the manipulation tools like inset, extrude (like push/pull), subdivide (also hotkey S on keyboard).

Just have a play mate best way to learn! although i have no idea how to model/texture things accurately in it yet!

oh and pilou....nice it looks like magma! 👍

man, this is awesome!! 😍

Do a search for them on the 3D warehouse. Quite a few models there, and there is a link to their site off of the models. They do some nice stuff. They might have some spec information their also. If you call them, talk to Joe. He's a real nice guy. Tell him Jack from Jax Coffee House & Roastery sent you. Me and Igloo Studios are doing some work with Joe and Belgard.

Belgard Hardscapes is another one you can do a search on at the 3D warehouse.

i am having a hard time just getting it to work period. when i am in sketchup, and go to export the model in kerky, it wont create an XML file, just some random file kerky cant deal with. BUT when i have no model in the program and just add things like lights and sun from kerky, it works fine and opens up kerkythea. except that does me no good because there is no model to render.

is there any other free rendering programs out there?

SU2KT has problems with non ascii characters. So if you pathname, filenames, texture names, models or so have any special characters... change them. Use latest SU2KT http://www.kerkythea.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8440

A bathroom for this week. Winter holidays are about to start, so I'll have a lot of time to practice V-ray and bring you some good stuff 😉

I'm looking forward to the renders he will achieve with Thea. 😲

thanx mate 😄 I started Thea, verry late,...in fact today I finally started it, it is wonderful , and hope to be more friendly with it in few next days. I've spent about 4 hours on it overall, and my first success was a car-paint material,..very conviencing result

😳 Thanks folks, very kind of you.

Thanks, Broomstick,

completely forgot to add the dirt to the roof tiles! 😆

Here's the SU shot of same roof image. It's not actually a photomatch, but used Tomasz' BMVB to put a plane behind the building and paste my image from the client he took from the actual building's roof on it.

Then in Photoshop I used an alpha mask rendering from Twilight to mask the same image back into the rendering... actually it was a 'doctored' version of the image. 😉

More on this scene's composition in this thread on Twilight's forum.

Broomstick, thanks...and good idea, but I think better for you (and other users) to do to their own set as they need (I bet I play with the idea on my own set).

Gai, thanks...and wouldn't that be nice to have the whole scene change with the date (Nice brainfart BTW :`) There is another thread (I'm too rushed to find it this AM) where folks kindly tested the last set in several render apps. These should do even better!

progress report Scotty! 😆Capture.JPG

Richard i did not say which year the formula and rules change faster than lady's fashion some time a v10 will be back in style

Very nice mate!! The interior light looks a little bright or at least not directed downward, hence over illuminating the ceiling! Now you neeed some nice furnitures in there and maybe some garden lighting!

whow.. excellent render wawo.. nice job with KT.

rich,
that was my intention: to make a building that would help people get through very difficult moments of their lives instead of exacerbating their pain.

sid,
me too. i always feel unconfortable with renders in which one cannot see a little of the interiors.

i am aware that some, if not all, of these renders could be better but as for me they are design tools i decided to stop at a point where thay are already believable.

It does look more like a picture 😆

bravo,
good job very realistic!

THX for comments 😉

that picture might have scared me!

@Richard: Things are always little hidden from the beginning of the world 😄

Some nice attempts of rendering LED strip but you wanna try chip leds as opposed to those 5mm. This would be a lot easier..

thanks i rendered with vray and i was trying to make it look like a morning
scene i will try some changes on the backdrop see i cant make the trees more subtle. Then i agree on the floor it seems plastic.
