hey rambola! i personally love sculpting these little spaces, where every detail counts. i dont know how much freedom you have when designing, I recommend going wild and investigating how you can stretch those 38 square metres. here's a similar-sized flat I had to design recently, hope it helps to get those designing juices flowing!! [image: section through the flat. i had to hide the wardrobe, drawers, etc, even the staircase was foldable!] [image: temp2.jpg]

How did the kitten get that gig?

nice. could be great if you had better wood texture (looks flat) and i think the shower floor texture needs to be toned down. and probably scaled down too, seems a little like the floor tiles are too big?

Thanks for the feedback guys - it really helps! Yes - these images are of just the poolhouse and pool/patio area that I have pulled out of the main house file so I could work on them more easily. I don't usually have things like backgrounds added while I am working on them. Dylan - plants are just edits to free things I have found on the web - most likely these were from the WH. The planter is from the mfg. Kornegy's collection on the WH. I do this as a hobby - so I don't have a lot of discretionary funds or I would buy both Solo and Tom's plants / trees. Scott - I will fix the coping on the pool, but good or bad I usually stay away from people if possible - hence the quality issue with the one @ the interior image. Just wanted a way to test the effectiveness of the striped etched glazing. I don't know if it works well enough for me - I might try something else. You are right in that the throw of the lights above the sink is too harsh. I will also be swapping them out with others, and will use ies files - they work well with Twilight Render. I can easily fix the tp lines before exported from SU. Thanks Again! Dean

@unknownuser said: Masterfull work Roberto. @unknownuser said: The images of the progress stages are very instructive. Yeah, i like to put my WIP because i can have better critiques and learn more... @unknownuser said: How did you come upon this fine building in the middle of Indiana? I tend to search on Google Images @unknownuser said: Was this a project you decided to do because you found and liked the buiilding... yes, i found the photo, I liked the building and constructed the building only on this photo (I think it is funny to imagine how is the rest part of the building ). @unknownuser said: By the way, I think it is a shame such a fine building was replaced by a parking lot, especially after being placed on the register of historic places. This sort of thing happens way too much. I agree with you, but progress is progress @unknownuser said: How did you model the human figures the eagles and other complicated decorative features? I do not model or persons or sculptures Thanks, Jim Smith!

Thank you!

This looks pretty impressive so far! Maybe the back faces... But I may also be too picky (I don't know if they affect SP) Yes, indeed, some more pics!

Here is another render and took almost 3 hours. I fixed somethings but the trees might be to dark. [image: FW 2.jpg]

I have to agree with earthmover. The scene give me the feeling the house is empty and without life. Almost abandoned. The scene needs some more vegetation and there needs to be more around the pool. The quality of the render (lighting, AA, etc.) is nice. Scott

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: house%20and%20site%20pp.jpg] [image: Raw output] [image: Photoshop post-pro] [image: Vue post-pro]

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
