Hi Dale, I am using Maxwell render, here is another view, not finish yet [image: 3841254565_f65c6551a7_o.jpg]

thanks man!"

It's alive! It's ALIIIVVEEE! [image: GvkU_tn_0bert9-2weird4.jpg]

That looks great, the soft focus really works well.

You might want to add some kids or playground equipment to that area to illustrate it's use.

Bravo Nomer

I like the overall presentation, although i think the sky could do with being desaturated a bit, to match the grass and focus the eye on the building a bit more.

@unknownuser said: i like how you covered up Rooney's name on the back of that man utd shirt!! Well even if you only have 10 minutes, you have to exercise some standards.

I see what you mean, you are absolutely right. Is this better?

Thank you, Rogue and dtrarch!

thanks micha... i will test this water out and see what i come up with. Much appreciated.

Hi solo, i was looking through the topics and i found this one that you say, you make your own trees. I'm new to the forum and i don't know about this tree making thing. So could you provide me the name of the tree making program you use to make your own trees? Thanks alot.

where's Gregory Peck and David Niven? ? (movie reference)

yeah start with like 96 edges at least. i think u need more bands of colour/lines maybe. good stuff

@mrwip said: I'm sorry Adam, but that does not really respond to my questions. So: 1_ Why does the AO parameters disappear from the menu when we're in 'direct sources' mode? Is it necessary to make first an occlusion pass, then a sun light calculation ? Its hidden simply to reduce clutter from the GUI. In Direct mode, you can choose to blend in the results of any AO you have setup. LightUp will automatically generate this using your settings if it doesn't have this cached. @mrwip said: 2_ Again, is there any way to adjust the shadow darkness (I didn't get so dark result with the previous version of lightUp)? ... Even with a white sky and ground, the interior in that model is almost black. I've try on other example, and sometimes I'm facing the same problem, sometime not, It's a bit random... OK, I think the 'bit random' part is due to a glitch in the WebDialog Preferences. Essentially, it would set the Interior,Exterior,Custom choice to your previous choice.. which is obviously confusing and not what was intended. Get the fixed HTML file here. Now you can choose Custom and increase/decrease the cutoff distance and you'll see the effect on your interior. Adam

hi SilverShadow! raises his three thumbs up for your work. how exactly did you shape those rock fences? and the water part? can you post a tutorial on those two? thanks.

nice try Kwist! In effect the castle looks much better when animated than in a static scene. Like of MrWip, I've not had a happy reaction to LighUp: the possibility to apply such kind of lights and shadows inside sketchupit is great, but I cant't live without displaying edges and profiles. Then I abandoned LighUp, but you made me feel like doing some animations with this model.

Beam me up oli. Please!

David These are fabulous examples. How long did it take you to clip round the leaves?
