Beautiful 😄 Makes me want to build one... I am itching to make some sawdust something bad.

I second the sketchy shadows too.

thanks for offering, kim. i will certainly need some help. my start with KT (as with any other app) is going slowly.

here a vey basic way of making a tyre tread. maybe someone else knows a better way?

tire tread tut.skp

it was a military servis site i , just rendered (not designed). the setting for podium did strange sparkles here and there! mayebe it is useful for some works!!! in is no need so for lighting all over the site ( for example if it is a play grpund or...etc.)

well maybe I would put them if client payed me,but again as usual I (censored) in this job

Even though the ocean is covered with small wavelets the sub cuts into the water with a razor sharp straight line. What about rippelign the line a touch and adding some small white froth where the waves splash agains the hull?

If the sub were more modern I would suggest a shower sandal and a broken foam cooler floating in the foreground for added realism.

thanks, i`m using the 16 metod path tracing - high + AA0.3

Hi Tegman,

Your modeling is fantastic. However, I like the first elevation better because this house just doesn't look right with that stone facade... The garage works, but not the rest. Are you designing and making the material choices or are you doing this for someone else's design and/or specifications?

Anyways like I said, great modeling.

Very cool process to make such lovely images...quite a secret you've shared, thank you very much for both!

OK now I have moved into Kerkythea and am awaiting client comments. While I wait, I will download KT 2008 Echo and install it. For some reason I could not make the photo visible when it imported to KT so I had to cheat with PhotoShop. I also have to replace those two funeral directors in the hall with some suits from Armani.

How long before this process becomes effortless? I thought nothing could be easier than a long straight hall. NOT!

I tore the model apart and rebuilt almost from scratch and the results were worth it. Even convinced my son to pose as the delivery man. I wonder what it will cost me?

The photo on the right wall is one that I shot of an old abandoned Buddhist temple in Vietnam. That was 30 to 40 years ago. I have been wondering when it would come in handy.

The closest wall were looking to saturated and pink. I could not get the color I wanted so I put a false wall behind the camera and painted it blue. Then I put a light behind the camera reflect a blue light into the scene which gave me the eact lighting I was looking for. Its cheating but it worked.

And finally the final render.

The siege tower, thats a Max model (the wooden poles are organic modeled)

Thanks for the comments. The cars, btw, are from FormFonts; the people from Poser.

Ray, it always helps to get a fresh set of eyes looking at things, thanx. I agree, it does seem somewhat sterile. However, most clients don't want to see "messy reality" (sadly, where this building is that would include the homeless). In fact, we "removed" a rather ugly utility pole in front of the building. One thing that would help are the road textures (too clean), but haven't been able to master mixed materials in Vue yet. Maybe a few more people?

Nick...this has that feel of smudgey fingertips and satisfied grins: I like it a lot!

Nice work Al66. Vibrant color. Tight details. 😄

there are different problems , first of all : when i changed the sky color all the acene was too cool colored... !!!
2nd: the light is not as the real world and i dont know what is the problem
3 the boat cloth is not real at all ( i'm working on it)
and especial thanks to frederik ( kt team member) who improved me alot 😍

Nice work Jon. A little dark but very very PR.

Mike

Thanks Dylan.

Tina, the 'pot' is actually a huge old metal cauldron that's onsite.

Thanks. the Padauk is mine. Edited from something else but I don't recall what. The Wenge is from a pretty good photo of it. The QWSO was from an image I found with a Google search but it was made usable by our very own Modelhead and in a thread in the Materials forum.
