@daniel said: Looks great, Edson. In my pickiness, have two comments for what they're worth: On the horizontal boards, you might want to shift the textures on some, maybe even rotate 180 degrees, so they don't look like clones. Wouldn't that wood weather to a gray over time? It appears very orange on my computer. i agree with with your comments. ideally i would have addressed those problems earlier but as i am a newbie at this i left some refinements to do later. my main goal at this point is to get the lighting right, then comes texturing.

Thanks for the feedback guys - great suggestions! As I intend to use this method again - I will likely work on a whole library of WC tree variations with more coordinated and seasonal colors. Nick - I really like the edges suggestion. That could be a big difference in a series of images like this when viewed together. While there is not s much control as other methods - to be able to quickly crank this type of output straight from SU with styles is very cool! Bytor

Thanks, tomislavm..!! I'm sure that some will try to use it and render their own underwater scene...

Max,ya beat me to it. I have one too.

Nice building, clean model!

Perfect, good idea, 10 points!

and here is the full image of the living room. mty friend told me to changed the background image to seaside as this iamge fits more on that kind of environment. [image: redpallettejs4.png]

Good point Olli, I obviously overlooked that Shame about your graphics card problem. It has happened to quite a few members here. Unless people have read about the problems of some ATI cards with SU, you would certainly expect them to work fine. Nvidia is definately a better performer with SU, although some of these cards still have problems.

Nice and impressive model!

You do have a nice style of presenting/rendering these models Wanut. I think we are all enjoying seeing these

Thanks for the tip...The texture i was using in that model was a KT texture And I still have not found out how to import my KT meterials into SU.So i guess i need to resize them in KT before rendering.I know how to do that though. Thanks again though for that tip.

I was messing around with HDR lighting and ies mesh lighting.I layered 2 ground plains one on top of the other and I textured the bottom with a Metal mirror style texture and the top with Dilectic glass.I used a mettalic/gloss green car paint on the sphere. I am going to subdivide the sphere a couple more times to get a smoother look on it. I will post it when its finished rendering. Here is the first one...ENJOY [image: trippySTUFF.jpg] EDIT:here is the same scene,I just Subdivided it and added a diffrent texture(dilectic Glass)to the sphere to get a different effect.

CHeers guys, i almost feel like i can render now

@mirjman said: congrats! nice renders, and it looks like construction is going per your images so far... Thanks. I had a minimal design roll in this...I just translated other peoples' ideas into models, and then checked out the implications versus the program and structural requirements. I won't know until they finish the entrance if either of the twoitems which I feel I had any real design input actually made it. I did draft a great many of CD details and sheets, as well, but that's just CAD monkeyshines.

hey, nice models. are those mountains in the background from just random photos you found on the interweb, or did you take them yourself? if so, where? they look suspiciously like the mountains near my house. if this is too personal (ie, giving away where you live on the net), you dont have to answer. i was just wondering.

John beat me to it. I would light some of the apartments to give it more of a realistic look. Maybe shoot a render from the parking lot level up the front of the building. Scott I think overall the night render is good. Just get those lights to soften up a bit.

Yes Tom, I like to preserve the past otherwise we forget where we came from As I said the front wall was the best of the stonework and this has been saved and repointed. It will be visible from the outside (at Ent Porch) also from inside the proposed lean-to that will accommodate dinners. Again, thanks for the trees Mike

Nag all you like. Otherwise there wouldn't be much point in posting renders, eh? Seriously: I primarely post renders to hear what people think I could improve, not to get an ego boost. So nag, boy, nag! You obviously never met my mom. Your nagging compares to hers as a toothpick model to the Eiffel tower.

Very green ans useful to remove that attachment at the bottom, edit your post (btton in the top right of the post) then scroll down untill you get to the attachments bit, just under the main window. There should then be a button that says 'delete file' I look forward to more subsmoothed wonders!
