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. Bob

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. [image: 1KC4_candlesf.jpg]

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.. -"Frederik" Im with u of "never place a bathroom/toilet in direct connection with the kitchen" but here a bath just of Housewife.. -Thanks "Bep" for ur suggestion, I will take it "Bep" ur second suggestion is very good at a black design if we want chang it.. thanks too much Bep. -"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. http://supodiumforum.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=3446402

Thought I would post a small update along with pics of some of my other wips. [image: newsecondoblique.jpg] [image: newsecondA.jpg] [image: capella3.png] [image: capella2.png] [image: allaloneinthenight.jpg] [image: azteking.jpg]

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.

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 Johnny

I don't know if anyone's considering Painter X, but: http://www.nothingbutsoftware.com/Catalog_Type.asp?ProductCode=87342&ai=3695 This is the commercial version at a pretty reasonable price ($169.95). Hope this helps, John S.

@teofas said: cadmonkey: hehehe sorry i cant, colors are choice of my client What do they know eh? Like I say, fantastic renders tho!
