Why is it in Japanese?

Very cool images.
Like something from a Tim Burton film.

GOOD GOOD STUDY ! DAY DAY UP !
VERY GOOD TASTE WORK OF NEW RENDERING !
HOPE THE WATERMARK DISAPPEAR IN SOON !

look at silvershadow's "the river runs thru it"

he uses FFD to give irregularity to the roof tiles. there are some screenshots available.

Thanks. I did not model those. I did the majority of this 2-3 years ago. I found the column on the old SU forum and modified it a bit. If I had it in me (which I don't) I would build my own. 😄

Hey thanks a lot guys, means a lot!

The is the heaviest drawing thats i'v done that is so small, I'v put a lot of details in it 😄 .

That was a bright idea, never Hertz to ask.

wow, so many years have passed and people still remember.
Glad to be here.

wow... the man himself! welcome, dennis... great work.

Ditto! Hi Dennis!
I loved this image you created, you've still got "the touch". 😉
looking forward to more.

That's it, excellent work pete, but I don't like this smart blur thing. Better be a friend than an enemy. lol But I really don't find this last one render friendly. What's happening in this house anyway?

Nice to see you trying other software, Olishea. I've used LightUp for some quick visualizations. It's good for small models if the client does not require photorealism and you need to create tons of images of the same model in very little time.

A couple of my LightUp images (Second one composited in GIMP):

For more complex stuff, I'll be using Twilight.

Just playing with ADCSee Pro, there is a lot of effect.
I choose this one.

Dude i think your sky makes the image seem very unsettling. I mean you got quite strong sun and a stormy sky. it freaks me out!! 😮 😮 😮

Hi, ENG. YASEEN 😎
Don't need to speak, just write ur comment 🤣

I would post the file but it's very big. I'll make a reduced version with good layering. I'd be interested to see which app could render it the best.

I know you can get better, more realistic results with other renderers but I don't have the time to learn anything else at the moment. Podium is very very fast. In that its totally integrated in sketchup and the workflow is very simple. This render only takes 10 minutes with sunlight and all omnis/bumps/reflections at full quality/anti-alias. I am sure the twilight render would look more real, but 90% of the time I do not require anything remotely photoreal. Sometimes you can give a client too much too early, thats my problem anyway. I would love to be a vray or vue guru but i dont have the time unfortunately. Some vray renders are just breathtaking.

Thanks Biebel for your comments, your renders have inspired me to up my game. Yes the chairs do look heavyweight dont they, kinda like big toy chairs!! I agree they are too shiny but nothing that cant be sorted out.

Brodie thanks for the link, i had problems accessing it too but I'll keep checking it out.

cheers fymoro, i put a lot of effort into the details! but theres always room for more! ☀

Impressive work.

Looks a bit weird, might have drunk too much this end!

Now I just have to find a spherical filter for the GIMP.[/attachment]

Not sure a fuzzy border would be the ideal filter type! I've never tried gimp though would then suggest just transforming the wire frame layer - not sure now in Gimp though in PS its just a case of selecting all then selecting to transform or manually scale. Then scaling from the corner holding ctrl you can move the corners in or out.

Either that or just nudge the layer off position just a bit. Really only trying to add some light secondary lines to random areas so it looked like you've done quick light rough out construction first!

Mate if your keen to try some other techniques from SU, I'd love to see someone give this one a shot. Doesn't seem anyone has really thrown an attempt in the ring!

Let me know WHEN you like it (send a message from the "Registration / Login help" on the top right of the forum) and I can get you a new password. Then attribute these posts to your old account.

Cool truck, by the way.

Much improved looking very good well done 👍 👍 👍

You can run windows through vm ware. Most people I know with macs use this instead of parallels/boot camp etc.

You don't know how much I want a mac pro. its a vicious machine.
