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! [image: AwKy_Capture.JPG] [image: file.php?id=36268&t=1] this was taken on my iphone (3pics) and put together with the pano.app

Thanks Luis ( i will collect the shocks in due course, and if yoe have a gearbox.....)and ely862me 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!

Some nice attempts of rendering LED strip but you wanna try chip leds as opposed to those 5mm. This would be a lot easier.. http://www.oznium.com/product_photos/large/2753.jpg

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.

@madhav said: very nice touch. would be interesting to see it moving. sketchy physics?? Never tried, but why not...

Back at it a little after being away for a while.........one of several new views - this one of the courtyard area off of the kitchen tower. Will post more soon! [image: cdLH_OD-DINING_TEST-3_COMP.jpg] [image: 7l4M_BARDI_TEST-1.jpg]

@frederik said: Nice design and render... What render app did you use...? @solidseal said: ...those chairs have some ... rly interresting forms You mean something like this chair designed by Fabio Novembre...?? (lots of inspiration for modelling and rendering...)

ARE THOSE BEANS?!?!?! wait those are flowers, my bad

The chrome looks sweet!

Yes you guessed it one of the first models i played with and used a Cyclon as reference. In terms of render engine i used Kerkythea for the render and photoshop for all enhancements. Just using the markers colours in sketch up. And a few tricks.My battle tank at the bottom needs a lot of work but in time im not one to sit on one model at a time. Cheers and Keep Sketching up.

Very realistic Captain(only one thing bother me..those square shadows down there on the snow).. Adam,those are very nice thinking there is no render engine involved . Thank you for posting ur renders! Elisei

also I've tried BPT (MLT) preset , and it shows caustics, when light is coming from above water
