dear Fred, again, I really like your sculptures. but I will be honest, I am not very fond of the texture. I would love to see this with something more "dreamy" (perhaps with some transparency maps, like you had before or simply something more abstract). but as always its a joy to see one of your new objects - truely inspiring!

Hi Ross & Coen "Great images are needed to 'sell' a renderer and its capabilities" I must admit I actually do agree with you both, my images could be better but you've got to start somewhere, .As I said it would be great if we could get people to produce some better images in the future. Most of my images have been just about testing and trying it out the basics over the last six months, and helping others - Alot copied from the support section. By the way it does render parallel projection, do you know if any of the others do? Here is one not by me but Lorik from the support section. (If you see only half of the image..right click and 'save as image' in IExplorer, or 'view image' in Firefox.) tip from Kwist [image: 2007339_Plan_2_final.jpg]

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! Regards, Ross

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.
