Really nice render. Its a very nice scene. Only crit would be to add some more detail to the windows. Theyre looking a bit sparse at the moment.

You're still getting that light leak on the couch and chair... but you are definitely improving each time... nice job!

Dave, Thanks for sharing. A nice clear explanation. The result looks terrific. Fred

@unknownuser said: I don't remember who made thise trees. I just want to thanks for them. They are Tom s trees.I think I have used them more than any other in My presentations.

Durant, Thanks for the demiurgic comment. "Whimsy funk" captures my approach/style pretty well. Fred

Thanks guys. What I find frustrating is that the fluidity of working with SU breaks down as you start to get into models with a really fluid look to them. You can set FFD to work on a high-poly model -to get that extra curve you want- but if you do don't expect to use SU for a couple of hours. Oh well, the trick is to use limits to improve your creativity... at least that's how I rationalize it.

Wigwam Wild Blocks, Right on -- this is... Killer.... A killer party space. I'm all down with some ceremonies here... some expanding mind journeys... Yeah, bring that to me, and a sandwich... A sandwich constructed of cactus and mana... Wild that FLW dude, you ever been up to Marin County CA and seen that blasting action? NIce. Durant "smoke it if you got it" Hapke

Bianhai, Awesome.... Jack bird wild action. Truly a bit of a wild deal, I'm not sure why but it reminds me of something you cut out and fold. Durant "fish are not paper" Hapke

Here's another shot from the same render... Camera 2: http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/3286/camera2bloom1200copyji0.jpg

Dale..... New guy here. To forum anyway. Images look very professional for sure. Care to talk about your work flow? Any 2D/3D CAD work before importing into SU? I think I saw you are MAC platform? Do you export/import from ArchiCAD? And at what point do you leave SU...... and where do you take it for 2D presentation? I am outside Philadelphia, PA USA.

I'll start posting some "step-by-step" images that show my process beginning with a SketchUp model and ending with a drawing that combines a SketchUp view with hand drawn entourage. The results are quick to produce and amazing. Am glad you are interested.

that guy's models are sick sick sick..i love that one.. i think his screenname is elvis something... cool render too..
