Nice cat

Holgster, Thank You for Your time and Your comments. Spadestick, Dont know what You mean exactly,what do I do in general or what do I do in relation to the posted images. I will answer the second issue if I am correct that is what You meant. The estate agent brought me a conceptual project that was done by another architect so that I provide visuals in order to sell the plot of land. He feels that in this manner he will sell the plot better than without visuals and so do I. If the client that eventually buys the land decides he wants to build a house similar to the one on the visuals he can do it in a short time. If he decides that he will build a house like the one You propose he will have to go start with new permits and so on. I saw the web site and I wouldnt like to comment on whats appropriate or not in design. One is modern and the other is traditional. It is all a matter of opinion ,preferences, location and target market. The architect that did this had taken all those things into consideration and in my oppinion has made a right decission.

Lemme see what I can do about it! edit: It seems my Photobucket account was deleted (all tho I did not request it) edit 2: Weird...I can see them now (I'm at work). I'll still upload them to my new account. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Very nice Paul! What method do you use to get your white lines in the pavement? Do you use the stamp tool?

thanks for the comments! baker- as james said, just the 2d components you can find in sketchup, change the material to a transparent white and take edges off

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Here's another go at the wc-ish style. [image: y5PW_Strip-Mall-v8-out-wc-800.jpg]

I have nvidia at both work and home - the one at home just happens to be a "better" model. I'm looking at replacing it though with the latest, if I can ever figure out which one would be the best (all this stuff is greek to me).

In the end the same results can be get with any program indeed. But in my experience VRAY is the easiest and above all the fastest render engine.

indeed, texturing is very imporatant, unfortunately im rubbish at it. must try harder. back on topic: howd you do the coffee spill? ive been thinking aobut it for a while but cant think of a good way to make it look fluid.

i know this is an old post but a question just ocurred to me: no edges, edges by material or hidden edges? regards.

Sorry it is on hold. The nature of the business eh? Good to know you will complete it for yourself, I look forward to more images.

Very nice. Showing the door opening direction as a graphic on the floor is a great idea. Probably obvious to you clever folks, but I hadn't figured it out.

Wow, first time seeing this...really impressive. I love the creative feel to the overall setting. This is quite refreshing to see, let alone know its being built, as I've grown numb to the cut and paste architecture that has taken over. Great job.

That's great modeling, but even more, it shows incredible anatomical knowledge and artistic sense.

Thanks a lot Tom, credits go to You also for this amazing tree on all the images.

Thanks for the kind words. Tina, his job has moved into Revit now. I have all the existing and half of the new addition in Revit. If I do a final rendering, if the client wants it, it will most likely be done in Revit, my first Revit rendering if I do so.

Dylan, I very much would enjoy living in a house like that. Very nice. And learning some new tricks here too... bonus. Thanks.

Syburn: I've got quite a few marker-style renders on here (don't think it was me you were referring to though ) Let me know if this is the kind of thing you meant ... [image: hvhm_X7045Acomp.jpg]

Thanks, Jackson. I've received a lot of kind comments on this, for both the project and the renderings, since it appeared in AIArchitect in late July. Some people have suggested that I could parlay this into an independent practice of my own, in fact. Haven't quite figured out how to do that yet, but it is a nice thought. --Lewis

Thanks remus, most of my work right now are furniture modeling and a lot of them are chairs so I am very skilled in modeling them. allanx
