yeah stefan...keep pushing this. DOF effects are great and often a challenge to accomplish in vray. Have any of you ever tried using photoshop plugins like "Alien Skin" software to get your DOF effects....I am looking more and more into it, but i dont know if i am sold on it yet. And Pete, im with stefan on this one and anxious to see some of your vray work as well. I havent been around on the forums as much as I would like to lately so I hope learning the software is working out well for you. Keep up the good work stefan.

Thank you one and all.....Yep, it was reversed faces with a transparent material attached to it as you can see ......[image: i3V3_wilsonresidenceVer5IGreversefaces.jpg][image: 4NAx_2701render.jpg]

11 out of 10 ! However, I must warn you that making 'images' of sensitive public buildings is against the draconian new anti-terrorist laws, so expect a knock on the door at any moment... Seriously though - incredibleible****ible you ...

Hi Earthmover.- I'd saw the post baout hypershot you wrote and it seems very interesting. I just arrive to this program and I'm testing it really excited. I only had get the 32 bits program, even having asked to the Company for the trial in 32 bits, but they weren't ansewer me yet. I use a Dell Precision M6400 with quadcore and 16 Gb Ram, but can't use all the power. Did you have the 64 bits version? could you support me? jann

Is it carnival time right now? Or is that February / March time? It would be fun to go to a Cabane a sucre as well.

Hi Everybody, I had the same thing with Vue. Downloaded it once but the interface was so confusing in relation to sketchup and let's say Kerkythea, that I didn't try to make a decent render. But when I recently saw some Tutorials at Geek at Play http://www.geekatplay.com/tutorials.php I started to dive into it. Siolo gave me some good pointers. I used Vue 8 Xstream and the render didn't took very long. Thing about 1 hour. Materials are done in SU and most are from CG textures. Hope to post more Vue renders soon. Greetz frm Holland

Thanks for the extra info Oli, appreciated.

Dear Pilou and Dolphus, Thank you for your kind words. The final modelling was done in Autodesk's Inventor, but by then I knew exactly what I wanted to draw and so that part went very quickly. Pilou, I didn't know about your plugin fragmentation. It looks very useful. Is there an English version too? Kind regards, Bob

so I'm not that crazy then! everyone was like "what the hell...a cinema?" I thought it could be a great community space showcasing local talent. I understand your english, don't worry. thanks for comment (danke!)

looks good! from where do you have the tree on the right sight (platanus x hispanica?) ?

A blast from the past indeed, especially the '2 doors'. I just wanna know what's behind door number 2

@dspace said: @micheladam3 said: @dspace said: One last practice with a couple of Kare and others as well. hello despace, my name is Helena Michel. Some of models come from 3D warehouse indeed and you can do what you want with them. I'm glad that students can learn with my ideas. this is the reason why I posted them to 3D warehouse. As for your last images I didn't want to share with anybody. This is my project for client and I would have apreciated if you had asked me before starting to play with them and show them on any kind of forum. Anyway I don't think your design is better then mine, so what's the point? Helena Hi Helena, I'm sorry if you find learning your stuffs offensive. In fact I'm just a great fan of your work. I would have done anybody's stuffs eg. Frank Lloyd Wright etc etc..I don't think it would be a problem. If your images are confidential than don't post it anywhere in the web...students always have their rights and ways to learn. I don't find learning my 3D warehouse staff offensive. 3D warehouse is to share with others. What I find offensive is when somebody take my design ideas stright from my portfolio. Thanks for having deleted images which I didn't want to be the object of amusement. Your renderings are good, despace. My advice for now (if I can affort) is to start modeling and rendering your own design. You will see, it comes very fast. I'm sure you will find more fun rendering your own staff. Belive in yourself. Helena

I think you did a great job when rendering is concern. Without pp the images are little on the dark side. Keep up the good work.

It's a composite of V-Ray clay render and SU Black and White export.

I like the First an 4th ones too. Hey was the scene in number 4 mirrored? The text on the car is backwards. Yout tag says "1985". Wow, I dont think Sketchup was around that long what's the story? These are really nice though. Awesome actually.

Love it, especially the staircase. Try applying a gaussian blur on the linework level in Photoshop, it renders nicer. Keep it up!

I'm using VRay render engine. Best Regards

@autarchos said: nice! the lighting and textures are so soft. it really has a good feel. not overly digital. what did you render it with? Artlantis v3 Max Settings Approx Time 35 Min @tadema said: Any tips on how you achieve the brickwork looking so realistic as yours. I've tried bump maps and never came close to your results. That was an Artlantis Shader from v1 that I modified slightly.
