Hi matteo sorry for the late reply i capped my internet lasy week... =( i am using a hdri in this image but for some reason it is out of focus... i have a lot of trouble using hdri images... the render engine im using is Kerkythea. thanks a lot for the help

You're welcome, I learned allot from the forum, and it's nice to "give back", when you know the answer of a problem.

I just realized Vue could export images in Piranesi format. I thought I'd have some fun. [image: poolscenemarkerud0.jpg]

looks great, Eric.

Well done sir! I love the signature on the side of the box truck. Nice touch.

Well light slider does not do anything...only dark slider does. I cannot detect any lighting (including sun) only GI. Btw nice model and render as well. If you want some presets please come to Podium forum. We have released optimaLEM.xml this week. As far as 2d clips we have released Podium Plants and Trees as alpha png so you should have good looking model in SU as well. No more need to have seperate clipmaps.

Wow...nice work! Defines the term "organic" modeling!

have not actually ever tried kerky.... i'm pretty limited in time/motivation to learn new programs....haha...and there's oh so many out there that i'd like to play with.

Thanks Boo, I'm sure there will be some changes so if I do get to render these again I will try to use the texture you provided!

Thanks everyone! Here is the render that was done in Kerky on render preset no. 17 and was done in about 2 hours. I definitely could've let it cook longer but I get impatient sometimes... [image: finalfromkerkycd9.jpg] By bubbalove at 2008-12-17

solo, that's quite pretty, but i fear it is an option of vue infinite only - or at least you have to buy the plant plugin for vue d'esprit. Since all elevation plans are made with sketchup, in a b&w style, these hedges suit well both programs. Time is my biggest enemy. Anyway thank you for your tip, that's something I have to learn better.

@matteo said: then, thanks rodrigo for asking about it. Yor welcome Matteo. @jackson said: Sorry Ross, I'm hijacking really badly here, but it's funny that "solo" is perceived only in it's negative sense in Spanish and Italian- although it also essentially means "alone" in English, it is usually used in a positive sense, as in someone can attempt or achieve something "solo" rather than needing a team of people to assist them. Back on topic (kind of) it's very impressive what Ross has achieved "solo"! Jackson, I don`t see "solo" in negative sense, I see "solo" exactly like you say @unknownuser said: as in someone can attempt or achieve something "solo" rather than needing a team of people to assist them. becouse most of the time, I work "solo" Best Regards

Thanks Fletch and Utiler For the moment, the West is enough to explore end to get used to, but visiting the cities on the East Coast is definitely on the wishlist for later on. The move to WA is work inspired and it's always good to have some change once and a while isn't it? Cheers and Merry Christmas, Kwistenbiebel

will defintley look better once you get some more textures applied nice little scene..

Thanks for the comments guys! Small update: Right click for full view. [image: americanhouse3na7.gif] By eduardonl at 2008-12-16 Regards, Ward

Hmm, this is getting interesting.... I think i'll wait for an offer from IDX Renditioner, maybe I will be able to afford a short vacation this year! @sepo said: Come and we will give you 6

Looks great to me! You've created a great background as well.

Looks nice... To avoid moire you either have to have better texture or render it large.

Jackson - thanks. The key to painting snow, is to use a good photo-reference. Then use the colour-picker in photshop to sample the colours directly from the photo. The shadow colours are never quite what you expect them to be! By using sampled colours, the results are always better than judging by eye A.

Yes the DOF really makes the rest of the building pop out
