You can also try to adjust adaptive amount under dmc sampler to .85

Thanks Mike...................

Realy nice renders. I 'm trying to render a sailboat in hypershot at the moment but I do not manage to put the sailboat in the water correctly. Now the boat just flies around in the space. I already tried to work with a plane and assign a water material to that plane. But when I do that I wouden't know how to make this plane fit with the background? I also would like to show the bottem of the boat in my render so the water needs to be a bit transparent. Is this possible and could you please explain me how I could make such a nice render as you did. I would really look good for my final presentation!

Thanx a lot

Coen - my client totally agrees with you and made similar comments.

Tinanne - I agree that the palms need to be rotated, I started to do it on the left side of the image and failed to continue it to the right side. I did not use piranesi, just hand colored with a wacom tablet and Photoshop CS4.

Here's my attempt. May add a different one later, I'm not entirely happy with how dark it is. Sketchup and Kerkythea with flames added in GIMP.

Candles. Sketchup + Kerkytea

Thanks for the coments guys

olishea: i think you're refering to the normal map beeing too strong right?I still can't control it 100% but i'm getting there, i hope...😄

TIG: i didn't know about that movie, specially 20 years ago... guess it's not such an original idea now. Anyway it made me curios about the movie (i'm a movie manic, i see everything that i can grab lol). Does it worth the rental?

I promisse my next image will be much "happier" 😉

Outstanding work. I have been having some trouble with Podium lately. It's been frustrating. I really like the results WHEN I CAN GET THEM! LOL

Very well!!! like alllways 👍

This black design is not by me I had just an Inerior design without any changing in a black.. 😕

-Thanks"lucifer1101" for modeled a kitchen..

-"sepo" u can't swap it.. because it's built..

-Thanks "Bep" for ur suggestion, I will take it

-"modelhead" thanks for ur comment..

thanks of all

haha.. no no, the building to the right of the first rendered building is an existing building... i dont work in this office...so i dont really know what's going on.. but yeah, architects are definitely annoying to work with 😉

really cool

Probably just stills. My texturing isnt that great so i brush up in photoshop, for that reason alone animation is out of the question at the moment.

I didn't export shadows in these images, they are just the podium shadows. I only exported the SU shadows to add a blurry effect for another project.

If you read the whole of this tut I've explained how to do it.

If you got off on the wrong foot with the "Samba stairs" you could spend the whole day just climbing in place.

I like the creative approach to your design, and the stark(?) renders compliment it. How about posting a plan, I would like to see how you tied the spaces together. A interior render of the skylight space would also make a nice study.

Cool view on cemetery aircraft-carrier? 😉

Truly awesome work.
I love the complex nature of it and cant wait to see the finished piece.

When (if) I grow up, I want to be a 3D artist. lol

I don't know if anyone's considering Painter X, but:

This is the commercial version at a pretty reasonable price ($169.95).

Hope this helps,
