@pilou Somehow I knew you would be the first one.

Looks purty good maybe the corners need Fredo's RoundCorner treatment

Neat accurate modeling....well done...

I think these are looking great...my only critique would be the quality of the skies, but the vegetation is really coming along

Simply stunning!!!

Thank you all for the feedback. All great points that will help make me a better artist and hopefully benefit others that see the thread. Dean: Im really liking the working world. Its scary at times when projects dont seem to be coming in, but our firm seems to keep a decent balance. But I am glad you mentioned something about the image saturation; that is something I have been worrying about, because it is a struggle for me at times to pull back with things like that. I probably need to tone things down a bit. I hope my monitor is reading properly...Anyways, I hope things are going well for you as well. The motion blur is another thing...I am so glad to feedback on that, because thats another example of something I thought needed to be toned down and hearing that helps make that more apparent. I am also glad to hear people keep mentioning the skies, because i agree that they are too distracting and I, as well as many others, might benefit from some good sky resources. I get most of them from cgtextures or 1000skies and I think my library is running really thin, because most of theirs are pretty busy looking. Anyone have any good resources for free or paid ones? Also does anyone have good suggestions for sky gradients...I try doing it in photoshop, but they always seem to be lacking and I end going back to using some of these more busy skies. But thanks again for all the great feedback guys, if you have any questions...please dont hesitate to ask.

I agree with Adam, and disagree with many on the Vue forums when it comes to interiors. Vue is not good at interiors! You can spend hours setting up and messing around to fake it, but still the results are not great. Vue is fantastic for exteriors, there is no arguement there.

Thanks juan for the tips. im really new here. [flash=420,340:3s60yqdk]http://www.youtube.com/v/G0NU_nxLLpY&hl=en_US&fs=1&[/flash:3s60yqdk] Im render using plugin for sketchup called "skIndigo". Latest plugin have option to Export Scene Tab Animation. i choose 10 fps for the render ( since this is for test scene only ), then combine all together using picasa movie maker ( u also can use Qtime ) as time lapse and save as 24 fps. Thats why u see the video is speedup but smooth. p/s: sorry my english. im from Malaysia.

Beautiful render well done keep posting

To me, the unrealistic bit of this scene is that the background image seems like an autumn/winter scene with all the leaves dropped in the trees, yet your trees, although having autumn leaves, still have their leaves. On another note, I can't wait for these trees! I really want to test them out on Vray!

Hello I did one more version of my tree and it looks like below: [image: Xo6t_v4b.jpg] I put my object file and textures on rapidshare server: http://rapidshare.com/files/341249989/Tree.zip Sorry for not English names (Polish is my native language). I will describe names: small_tree_full_d.jpg - main texture for leafs small_tree_full_d_mask.jpg - alpha mask for leafs kora.jpg - main texture for trunk kora_bump.jpg - bump for trunk All textures are downloaded as free. I hope this object will be useful. Best regards

Great work , but the sadaows are to hard

Bloody hell!! What are you laughing about?? I'd be extremely chuffed with that!

Cool [flash=425,344:2ef6gm3l]http://www.youtube.com/v/dyEToFYTkzM&hl=fr_FR&fs=1[/flash:2ef6gm3l]

hi tf, the lot size for this house is 10m. x12m.and the total floor area is 100 sq.m., well actually really not "too small". speaker thanks for the suggestion I'll take note of that.

To lose banding I would save image as 16 bits (at least). Add small amount of noise and than do postprocess. That should sort it out.

Sure! I was on there, actually you're in my msn list too, although I'm never coming online there anymore, we were planning a project before together, you might remind with the nickname FIRE1BULL (I have 2 accounts there.. oh well) I've worked on 'Las Colinas (States)', 'BRC' and 'The Prototype'. I think we've been in contact for the second project but it's almost like 2 years ago if it isn't more I guess. Very nice details you have on the car, I think the tires could use some improvements though, but still, keep it up!

Thank you all for the C&C's! I will work on the glass and fire textures and the fireplace also. thakns again!

Thanks, and glad that siding was useful
