As usual, you are really on to something here. Wow!

@daniel said: @daniel said: Sorry, I'm being excruciatingly picky - has to do with my job this week. It appears to me that you applied the stone material to the font face only of your soffit light (as illustrated on the left, below), but didn't return it on the bottom to show the thickness of that stone (as shown on the right, along with a supporting frame). It's the sorta thing that only an architect would probably notice. [attachment=0:247hl1ac]<!-- ia0 -->stonesoffit.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:247hl1ac] regardless, it's a nice rendering. not at all Daniel, you're most welcome. Now I got your point. The most difficult part in any realistic rendering is the light distribution and the texture mapping technique. This model took me more than 2 hrs to achieve such an output. Currently, i'm experimenting fluid and realistic water surface which is really hard to achieve in sketchup+vray. The minutes it's done I'll post it here and your comments will be a plus. Cheers Khalid

Very nice.

Looks way fun, cool model.

ha ha, this is awesome! didn't mean to cause such a recation, but i'm glad i did! maybe we could have s simple modle of an everyday object which everyone makes each week so we can compare modelling styles n stuff? come on peeps, more people need to make a rubiks cube! pav ps. nice owrk solo, as usual

i don't have time now to resize but a right-click view image shows the whole thing..

I agree with anssi, I like SU image... Nice job! Regards

Be sure to include solid materials (such as wood below - which automatically molds to the curved surfaces), and fractal plants - which create random, complex, detail without clogging the SketchUp model in the criteria for a good renderer. (Just kidding of course - but it is an example of how a renderer comparison could be slanted to favor a particular rendering engine) [image: original.aspx]

Excellent models Ivica. Can you share a picture of the wireframe view?

Middle age atmosphere! I like it! Nice and fantastic job! Regards

This render is fantastic!

You're model is really looking good. As an ex-firefighter I've really enjoyed following it's creation. Keep up the incredible work!

Thanks again guys, glad to be able to help in any way. Mateo

Amazing work!

Thanks Eric, your right it's closed.... gian

Hang in there with Kerkythea. The learning curve is steep. I am getting there at a snail's pace and still cheat a lot with PhotoShop but it is a rewarding program to work with. --Roger

OK, that's the first one above then. Actually, that's pretty big (the biggest known mosque in Hungary - and it's still there!).

thanks gai

Thank you Mateo it is just the beginning.

Yea! Roofing Contrctors hate to see me coming along but at the end of the day they often feel they have achieved something and are often quite proud of it Thanks for the links James, I will check them out.
