Yeah, that's right. I've got an 8 core Mac Pro with 16 gb of RAM. OS: Vista Ultimate.

I just found the URL. They sell software, but they also sell the sticky tapes as a separate item. http://www.stickyyard.com/

@tomislavm said: Maybe this can help! Thanks for the resource, I managed to find some decent enough plans after searching on Goolge for... how many days??? Ive restarted the model and now have one side of the fuselage is almost complete. Oops, no! Guess I haven't... I thought I'd saved it before I made the changes and closed it... oh well! @spider74 said: the plane is just as cool as the first model,like the way you go for alternative looking vechicles.hard to guess what the next one will be.Great modeling Thanks, I just model what catches my eye when surfing. The first two models were quite simple because I wasn't going for accuracy and they both are very square. I thought I'd challange myself a bit.

3RD image looks superb, wish they were higher res so we could see more detail. Vray really looks like a very capable sketchup renderer. Agree about the 2nd image shadows, something doesnt seem quite right.

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.
