Thanks for the input, I'll take it on board.

Really nice, clean visuals. The section views work especially well. Like your style A.

Andeciuala, i tihnk the forum software automatically crops pictures that are above800/900 pixels wid ot make them fit onto the board layout, easily solved by resizing down to 799/899 across.

Thanks, and very nice render

Thanks for the link Daniel. I will check it out. Yes, you spotted a potential problem in the shelf support area. Initially I had in mind to use steel hangers from the unit top. It did not look clean! I decided to utilise a simple construction method that I've seen for wall shelves. Its a steel dowel system, see attached picture. I have countersunk the plates but I imagine this would not be rquired as the unit would not fit flush to the walls because of the skirting board. Mike [image: Steel Support Dowels.jpg]

@unknownuser said: I agree, these look far to shiny for being leather. Scott HM seats are made of glossy plastic.

Sweet!

I used Dennis' watercolor technique from the Post Processing Tutorial Forum. I'm still playing around with the styles to try to get the best result but I think I'm getting there!

Its a model made in makehuman, if i remeber correctly you export it s a .obj and then import the mesh using jim's obj importer.

How about this one with edges lines rendered [image: http://nxt.accurender.com/photos/sketchup/images/3610/800x600.aspx]

Darn! Some bad experiences. Listen so far I'm ok, but it's only been one day so we'll see what happens. I have yet to really get into the plugin and see what it can do, I'm working on an interior right now, we'll see how that turns out.

Nice. Your bishops are going into battle backwards

Hey Daniel. Thank you for pointing that out. I will inform the designers about that.

Thanks

Ive already commented on this model before, but yes you would certainly pass. This is not the easiest of buildings to model. Looks great!

Reminds me of Steak-N-Shake.

@rv1974 said: Your "warm autumn" lighting is so tasty! How do you achieve it? I render in VRayIMG format then convert to EXR (a HDR format) so I can re-expose the render in Photoshop. Then I use lots of color correction, a new sky, reflections and trees, people and other bits and pieces and then painted shadows in a blue/purple hue to fit the lighting I'm after. I've learnt a lot from some mattepainting tutorials. Its just that I was going for a spring/early summer feeling...
