This is a great thread! More, more...

yeah i suppose...srry for posting so late, i guess i wont be doing another trailer like this...so thanks alot though for all the tips! its much appreciated!

That's gonna be a long thread, so why not try watching the Podium videos that are available on their website or even reading through the tutorials on the forum?

Got a small update: Continue working on the model. I've recently read about Le Corbusier and his "five points of architecture" It appealed to me so I made some changes to the model. Added stills to support the structure, added curtain wall windows. And of course I like the idea of a large roof garden! (It kind of reminds me of the Lever House in New York) [image: axbu_test2.jpg]

@kwistenbiebel said: What can I say...These images are simply wonderful. You really catch that mystical mood. Very nice. The viewpoints are very expressive as well. Great job Nomer! thanks kwist... i am lining all these with this years exhibition.

Dear EdwardoNL, It seems a little too attached to the existing building. What if you moved the Belfy to the corner and wrapped the balcony and entrance around the sides. Regards, Bob

Got this interesting comment on these from one of my clients this morning: "It looks graphically good but it needs some torches, moss and lichen, and some signs of age, repairs, history, battleworn. Your castle looks like it is ready for final inspection, like it was made for a theme park…"

no I have have an educational license but asked to try the pro version because I noticed someone else did

Great, theses half-organic shapes. Well integrated buildings which extend Nature without Injuries . MALAISE

Should the signature block say "asembleas" instead of "asambleas"? By the way, first SU renders that don't look like SU are a good sign of great things to come.

Great work. Defiantly has a lot of mood in the image. I agree with bytor about the castle being a little too bright for the sky.

Thanks everyone. Ill try to write a little mini tutorial on my process this weekend.

not realy... I don't even know how to...

The first thing I notice here is that there's a few backfaces visible. What you see in SU isn't always what V-Ray renders. V-Ray doesn't take into account the custom default colours, so any material with default material will end up white-yellow-ish on the front, and blue on the back. For transparent material you want to place the materials on both sides. It'd help to judge the image is it was slightly larger and with not so much JPEG compression.

I was wondering, do you know a good place where I can get 3d people for free? Thanx for the comments

Nice space and nice light. I feel as if I have just come home for lunch
