Ah, now I know what you mean. Thanks both! I managed to get a good DOF due to a low res HDRI. To be honest, that's one of the things I don't like about my model. But I'm glad you like it.

The Daffodil is an amazing design. It would work well in a modern city.

@mateo soletic said: It looks nice, especially the design. From the grainy look I thought it was Maxwell at first. thank you Mateo, it's really good to hear that you like the design, because to be honest i did have some doubts about the design, but now i feel better about it... before I began with vray i used maxwell as my main renderer...but I really like the final product of vray, because of the speed, and I noticed that if you spend a lil extra time on the texturing, the final product has the same or sometimes even better quality than maxwell. and thank you again for your comment, much appreciated...

@unknownuser said: Where is the image? I don't see anything! There must have been some images here. Maybe Andrija took them down.

Puma, great job! Hope to see more

That was really interesting! Thank you for explaining your workflow.

I really, REALLY like that black and white image of room 1 in the first post. Awesome job!

Nice modeling, Julie.

Nice presentation, except in the last image I would move the SUV off to either side, rather than have it dominate the center.

Mufakka, You can increase your circle segments in SU and thus making it smoother for rendering. When you draw your circle click on its circumference go to entity info >segments and Insert the new value inside the box, maximum is 100. I don’t know about other podium rendering issues that cause such behavior because I don’t use it but there is probably someone here on the forum that can give you advice on that.

@unknownuser said: you got it...I wish you were not so far away...I'd like to get the horn out and have a go with you...perhaps some day. I hope you don't mean you want to hit me over the head with it JK. When you get a chance check out these guys. http://www.wattersbrothers.com/ I grew up next door to them and Ken, the trumpet player, was my first teacher. Great guys with a great sound.

@stu said: Not entirely sure about the floor texture though? Neither am I. Doesn't werk very well. I need something 'cleaner', and lighter. @johnsenior1973 said: Thankfully Stinkie has no friends, that's why there's no blood splatters. If he had friends they'd have smashed their face into the wall because of the drop for the first step (...) The stairs dissapeared from the render. Vray bug. @johnsenior1973 said: and another of his friends would have broken their backs falling down the stairs when they reached for the handrail and found it down by their ankle. No, they wouldn't. That thing is exactly where it is in real life.

Dont get your hopes up bruce. The model was a real quicky, and is very messy as a result. Ill have to redo the whole thing if i want to make any changes. sigh.

Thank you remus and mirjman for the very nice comments, actually its a fishing resort in Guatemala which is being developed including a condo and marina. I'll add more renderings here in the days to come.... allanx

Great modeling!

Camille, The diffuse map gives the general aspect of your material. The bump map is a kind of height map. It is usually a greyscale image (RVB though), where dark areas are the low zones and bright ones are high zones. In somes cases, the diffuse map can make the deal.

nice.. good job with the sun animation.. like that alot.... just need to get rid of the jerky sketchup-esque camera movements are you using any ruby's for the camera?

yah...im using CGtextures as well..so i can change my skies using dome sky..ive added a light inside the dome sky..and that would be my source of light.. actually when i render, and even i unchecked the default light and hidden lights from vray option..SU sky will still exist, and i dont know how to turned it off..thats why i did used the dome sky to prevent light coming in..and put a NEW light inside the dome.. hehe..

Props on the detailing work looks really nice do you have any more examples of the work as I would be very interested on doing similar things for my clients here in NZ
