yeah man lose the shot glasses, i think u took comments too seriously! I think u need to bump the pencil, paper and wood surface, looks very CG at moment. nice concept though haha

I love it! ...the tree colors make a world of difference

your exactly right...I dont know where I would be if I didnt have the help and constructive criticism that I get on these forums. I think thats a compliment to guys like you and the rest of this community.

K to the N, I would get it on with that Jack action. Keep the Grays away, keep the meat puppets from raining down on our little blue planet. I think this is kind of a "king giant" kind of a killer spider deal. Would this fit in my shoe, or is that a big garage door? I would have my way with either. Though thoughts of a small machine gun toting Jack bird spider blaster is hot. D the FH

Adam, the last one it's gorgeous! It has everything, photo-real look, artistic teouch...awesome! Congratulations!

Not water...just the sub-terranean end of a hemispherical sky: cool base for the render, huh? :`) That said, thanks all for the response and kind words...I'm quite pleased with the range of likes (and several of you are even spot on with my triggers, thank goodness).

wow jim, what a poetic scene...or maybe i'm looking too far into it!

wow. this is inspiring! i want to build something now!

please can you do a higher res clock (i understand why it is small). its amazing.

first off, good work. I am thinking that the pavement in the first image would actually be lighter where it is worn out from use and darker where not used as much- perhaps the opposite of what you currently show?

great work as always! nice photomatch without using Photomatch

Hi imabzeous The materials are very dark so they reflect light poorly. I tried a quick render in Kerkythea with much the same results as Podium. A lot of faces are also reversed but I don't think that adds to the problem really. Maybe you can up the ambient light a bit to make thing lighter. Regards Andre

did someone say dali? [image: blobs_of_doom_dali.jpg]

I don't use photoshop much, I used Picasa, which is free, and very self explanatory. http://picasa.google.com/ Good Luck!

Very cool choice for your first post!

Wow, one of the most dramatic differences between Sketchup input and render output I've ever seen! It reminds me of comparing screenshots from an Atari to a PS3. -Brodie
