Super! I too really like the style you have achieved. Perfect for your design. Seeing that you use an image that is essentually just a shadow I'd strongly suggest trying a technique Susan Conger has written about in the past. If you alter that shadow layer so its shadows have a slight violet colour tint to them (rather than gray) I think you'll find the impact once combined to be well worthwhile. Susan is smart!

no it,s a reflection i used a mirror metal for the dish

Thanks Mateo your support is always valued!

I like the look of those but I'd hate to sit on those couches. They don't look at all comfortable.

Mate I have to agree the colours pull the attention! You have produced there some very nice concise illustrations - Great job!

Beautiful work. My only comment would be the building is a bit unrealistic with the large sheets of glass. Those would need to be broken up into smaller chunks. That is the only thing holding this render back from being very realistic in my opinion. Nice lighting and materials now that the pink trees are gone. Scott

change the car, slightly trees and the location of the room, I think I am somewhat better in terms of lighting, but not, who think you Look, greeting people [image: accesocordobadefinitivooa6.th.jpg]

even Dune worm adolescents have awkward phases ...

yes, it seems that there is a lot of possibilities ! I understand when you say you have fun with doing this I like your renderings, very differents and nice .

Hi Tom, Clouds are found under the "weather" layer. Sunlight can be turned on (as long as you are using Google Earth 4.3) by hitting the button in the top row of icons (next to sky). [image: AyAV_sunIconLocation.jpg] I agree with Gaieus' statement about context. I think all these things combined and you can produce some nice screenshots! See ya, Zach Here's a day and late evening shot of Denver: [image: gtzs_DenverShotBMedium.jpg] [image: eGq0_DenverShotAMedium.jpg]

This is awesome stuff... you should play around with "field of view" in the camera drop down menu. You might be able to get it closer to your drawing!

Nice models Eric. You should share these over at CadTutor. I think a lot of members would love to see these, they are great examples of how standard SU images can look great! F7

I'm just sitting on the beach and enjoying the show. Very cool renders all! Fred

Very nice Joe. I like that very much. With the winds we have around here, though, those bamboo mats would be in Wisconsin before you know it.

great quality of light, very clean!

beautyful sculptures. it is wonderful to see your last few models being actually two sculptures interacting with each other.

Aww... how cute... I like the colour because it makes it look even cuter...

yes, the last image is much better in terms of lighting and textures, I congratulate you and thank you for plants.

@mike lucey said: Nice work! Yes indeed Dylan SU 3D Details is a great way to explain construction methods to Builders. One good 3D can eliminate so many headaches during the course of construction. Of course it helps the Designer also as we can quickly discover whether or not everything fits together properly. While it is much slower than straight 2D drawings I find that one 3D model with multiple views can give the total picture. Straight 2D views can also be output from the 3D construction model with little effort should they be needed, normally the case for Planning Permissions (Permits). I still remember the first awkward 3D construction detail I did for a Winder Staircase. The ope was 2300 mm and I worked the total construction off a central column of 8 x 100 mm blocks. The carpenter was delighted with the drawings, which included a Cutting List. I think he nearly constructed the stairs in the same time in took me to make the model Ah! but I can use it again, if I can find it Mike I couldn't say it better (except in imperial - not metric) Great work Dylan!

They all look good, Genaro. However, I'd remove or relocate the red tree in the third and fifth images. By it's prominant placement and being the only brightly colored object, it is the main focus.
