David, Nice images - I prefer the first as well. I don't think the jet contrails work in the second - feel too contrived and the one on left looks more like a ufo.(not that i have ever seen one ) If you took the background hint from the first image and made it warmer (pink) toward the horizon and darker (blue) at the top - I think it would work fine.

@agf83 said: tks massimo and majid im agree the images are grainy, but i dont know what is the paramemter to fix appreciate the coments Very nice render, esp the first. I'm just asking if you got the Absolut bottle from the Warehouse? I'm looking for the same type of bottle, a much better version from the warehouse. Any ideas? About the noise, hope I am give you tips, but I don't render with Vray. But try looking for noise threshold, probably lowering them will help.

What happened with your deep sea exploration project, Dolphus? Any updates?

I've used the method from sketchup artists, completely to the directions. I have to say its not bad. I dont think its very water color esque, i think it gives a more comic book kind of effect. I'd post pictures, but I'm new to the whole posting thing and don't want to mess up.

Hi Roger Thanks For the kind words I relay appreciate it a lot. The trees had exactly the same purpose in this scene as whit your photographic work. The thing whit the renders here is that I wanted not to just let it look real. But to give it an extra artistic touch... That is what I try`t to achieve. best

hey oli,seen some of your stuff on twilight site,they look brilliant last images are test images(rendered in 15 mins,'shopped in 2) ie setting the scene,using previous photoshop additions from my collection. when i have this job worked out i will upload a hi res image . most of my images on this site are for fun,trying out new visopt configurations,looking for ways to enhance/create new moods.i have previously done night,rainy day and snow images(see below) and am at the moment trying to finalise visopts for these along with background skies.i am currently working on an autumn scene but with right lighting and trees ,it is hard to get the mood i i want. re this image the walls are just white colour at the moment,again trying to get a texture i am happy with. Once I get the lighting right I intend to upload a typical building with an overcast/summer/winter/night visopt along with a step by step photoshop tutorial of how I do it,if anyone is interested.

yeah andre i certainly know that feeling

@steelers05 said: you could try cgtextures for some really good free ones. and just search the google 3d warehouse for some scenes. I think they have some good ones. Just keep pluggin away, the more you work with your scenes the better they will get. Try avoid using those blurry background trees though Wow great CGI Texture site free thanks will update soon with some changed visuals, if you get a chance please check out my website at http://www.boxvisuals.com Thanks loads..

Maybe, Teofas. On the other hand, I like the minimalistic feeling - but in this case I would even lose the car!

very impressive for an SU animation. Congrats man. Its fun seeing more and more people have success with animating in SU. Keep up the good work

i love the way you are developing your own style. The reflections on the street bring some really cool visual interest. It may be my monitor, but one thing i notice is that a lot of the images seem to be a bit oversatured. A small issue.

Hi again guys, another update here, i used VUE to render the exterior of the house and photoshop to PP the render hope you guys like it, and every comment and crit is very welcomed [image: iGKH_no5_104.png] [image: ArYX_no5_104.jpg] [image: uq7h_no5_104_NPR.png]

@solo said: there is a loneliness, almost a recognisable place of the past, I like it and hate it at the same time. Well said, very well said.

@gaieus said: It can be cool but you must be very careful to make sure the roof is waterproof and to let the rain flow away easily. Hmm... I'll keep that in mind next time. The show I got this from was somewhere where they probably never seen winter before. @olishea said: stairs are very very wide! Thank you, my next house I plan to do a more elaborate set of stairs. Don't worry it will be narrow.

chrome: [image: S_2-1.jpg] bored with this one now, gonna make another model

I was wondering what the detail would look like for the columns protruding through the glass in the front of the building. But its a nice start. Rick

Thanks Pete and Rcossoli for the comments, the room is SketchUp but the objects are from modo 401.... I;ve added two lights to show more shadows and adjusted the image in PS.... Thanks, allanx [image: Us3U_Test_03_sharpen.png]

cmoreink: thx bro and good luck with the hangover, hehe... EDMON: hi bro, i think that night scenes is all about testing lights over and over until you have your desire result,,,but first test lights in your scene without applying quality or reflections to your materials and make sure your options settings are low and a small output, cause maybe you need to do many tests and this will helps to make thing faster, once you got the right ilumination, then start applying materials to the scene,change the setting to high and the output, in this order i think can be good, hope this helps, sorry for my bad english.
