Mate this is really cool! I chuckle a bit but still great bit of thinking on style!!!

The only thing that looks off is the unsoftened car body in the last pic... is that the model, or the renderer? The building looks fantastic anyway, better than anything I can make

@olishea said: kinda looks like a stack of pound coins! The Spilliaert? @michaliszissiou said: Pilou has a point here. Hm? What point?

what a shame. china needs to chill out. big time dof function is really easy to set up, great addition.

tom...what are you using to get these beautiful edges around the borders? just painting/erasing by hand?

Thanks Rocky, I do too The bricks are cleaner and the wall doesn't have that awful green color

excellent renders, thanks for sharing

Looking good, Oli... I'm sure that such a talented person like you can make wonders with Twilight Render, and I'm looking SO much forward to see what you can "squeeze" out of it...

Took about 16 hours of work time all together. Not too terrible I think. I'm working on a lobby for the same hospital at the moment. Hope it turns out as well. -Brodie

@gacon-architect said: @tas_1985 said: thanks In China architects in large design companys don't render pics before the plan is confirmed by our leading designer .when we reach a conclusion on a case, sometimes we render it but most of the time we send it to the professional render company in which people are using 3DMAX and VR to rebuild and render the model. so,in your company , does people often use sketch up for concept? Inmy opinion, using sketch up for modelling is faster then using 3d max .Thanks for your sharing. May i see the render result ? Thanks. SU is the main tool for us to finish the concept design ,like those above.Then most of the time bosses in China pay money for the more elaborate 3DMAX models and the VR+PS result ,like this , they don't pay us for this ,our main job is SU design and CADs.

@michaliszissiou said: Bed clothess drying in the wind. And some undies. Or 2d cutout ghosts, for real this time. I've posted the model, so why don't you try something?

Nice images, but i prefer your B&W works.

Glad to hear they looked good. Variety is the spice of life so I'm told. -Brodie

@gaieus said: I like this second one big time. Cool model of course (which is very needed with clay renders as you cannot "fake" details with textures) The second image was from Chris's tutorial. I presume it was made using 3DS, but there was no specific mention of the rendering. The first image is one of my "typical" examples of how to use the technology. It is a 3D warehouse model. It is supposed to "inspire" you to think of how the technology could be used. I think we'll have to work harder to find good models to demonstrate technology. [Edit: since writing this post, the image in the first post has been replaced by a better clay rendering example]

Bravo, super!

Yeah, it is. Only the sun as light source (and the sky) and a curved background with a light grey colour (never use pure white - it kills render time)

I was expecting a nissan skyline!!! sweet. I never though of using greeble for that.
