    As long as the room has a front entrance you don't have to worry about ADA ramps, which always must be shallower than the slope or steps for proper sight lines.

    Thanks for comment guys! Nomer, the cause of the noise, it's the small number of reflection subdivision (8 by default), witch I forgot to bump (@20 usually). It's a wooden material with IOR 1.3 and 0.8 refl. gloss. and 0.8 highlight glossiness.

    ande, the rendering and light level is ok. im just not a fan of the composition though. hope you dont mind if i say some friendly remark, to push you further. that tree located on the third portion of your composition became your focal point. and its not really the most important thing here. perhaps you should be careful more on the landscape. especially avoid on just randomly placing plants everywhere. check also your background horizon. its a bit high comparing with your model's horizon lastly, perhaps try to add contrast of texture.. your texture below (are all rough textures so its easy really for them to fight together. i know this is one of your exterior and im one of your fan in terms of your interiors. but i know you could improve further and definitely you will even pass the caliber like FA (jsut the thread you have written on the other forum). on the other hand my compliment in you in maximizing those 3d trees other than xforgs.

    Do you get the same great service as the airlines? certainly looks like the concept of personal space is similar. Wow it could be like the 50's and cement Tipis. You'll be driving down the highway and there's a jumbo jet motel! Only getting it to the site is an issue...

    I recommend cheating the perspective a little bit to make the image more dynamic. I would pull the bamboo plant forward so the leaves are larger in relation to the camera and so they overlap the face of the left hand cabinet a little. Then I would light the leaves so they pop forward from the dark cabinet with a lighter yellow green tone. Don't worry about blocking circulation or access, in the real world you can always move the plant back where it was once you have created the image. What I am trying to do is increase the illusion of depth.

    Scott, is the company logo a "D". The turned over chairs seem like there was a bar fight. Also the flat blackness of the chairs works to reduce the perspective as much as the the rendering works to create dimensionality. Have you tried doing a hundred arrangements of the elements. That is one of the things SU is great for. You can recombine components endlessly and quickly. Rather than critique what you have done, I would take the pieces and explore the combinations and permutations. In a one horse race the one horse is both the winner and the looser. Once you have a bunch of ideas it might be possible to discern a trend and then follow that trend line toward an ultimate refinement. Just searching for a strategy that might help. I do think you want to be careful not to loose or dilute your original company symbols meaning.

    Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions... I'm working on a site plan for a car dealership right now but once I get done with it I will get back to doing a rendering, adding duct work, and framing the windows so they don't look as if they're floating!

    k I think all the links are finally working, sorry for the confusion but I was trying to link something with better quality - veoh didn't turn out to be much better than youtube either, despite going pro. Anyway it looks better on my computer, you'll have to take my word @kwistenbiebel said: Great one Prince! The wood material shows nicely. You will agree with me that SU needs better ways to move the camera. I am struggling to make more realistic camera motion myself using the limited SU camera tools. Vray is a good partner for animations. Too bad it doesn't take geometry changes per frame into account , making object animation a no-go unfortunately. Neat stuff you're producing here. Thanks for sharing. Thanks very much! Yup I agree about the camera in su alright. Your animations are totally flowing now though - maybe I should invest in animate (though can't really justify it) - I think i'll sit it out till whaat's plugin arrives Vray is really a great rendering package as well - I highly recommend it personally. Saw your thread on the agvis forum too, indeed it is a shame object animation is not taken into account with vray. I'm not finding it so easy to find the right HDRI's either, none of them really seem appropriate to spherical environmental mapping. Evermotion's free skies are the only images that I have gotten to look good so far. But i'll keep messin around anyway!

    Nice Sketchup work. I have issue with the design however. Its all a bit too oppulent and busy for my taste. Then again it is in Shanghai after all.

    One more from another perspective. Clearly, there are some different perspectives on this work. [image: 20080902221631_1h2m8s.jpg]

    Interesting design. Like a stadium. Hope there's a football pitch in the center! Seriously it is interesting to find out how such a space is perceived and used by the intended tenants and community.
