Hi Tim, that's a nice result actually! Glad you managed to finish it!
😄

ps. thanks Fred - your stuff on here is by far the most interesting - keep it up. Except that leaf thing. hehehehehe.

Like Kris said, I don't use Layout at all.

James, it is possible, and I do it all the time, to place an image just outside the building in the SketchUp model. No need for Photoshop.
See attached.
Edit: I know the perspective is all off, this is just a quick example. 😉

Jeff --

You forgot the most important thing about the modo-SU import plug-in: they charge $99 for it... 😡

Tim, You never looked better!

As for the the 99 bucks, yea I don't WANT to pay for it, but if it saves a lot of time then I don't mind.

Forceps delivery. What can you do, huh?

As an aside, I recently had a look at Microspot Interiors Pro...this small firm has added native .skp import to the program (for free), and it works flawlessly...everything comes in just as it should, even my largest models. Why can't a slick organisation line Luxology get this right?

And Martin is looking into adding native .skp support for Cheetah, now that the SDK is freely available. An .skp in a Smart Folder...how cool would that be?

Who is this "poly" everyone keeps talking about? I've never seen her post her before.... 😉

Great work guys! Enjoying the thread.

Thanks a lot for the compliment, Bill..

and of course I don't mind jenujacob 😉

I don't mind Whaat. Fire away! I just had two margaritas and a chilles rellenos at Panchos in Vancouver, it's BC Day weekend, and our hotel overlooks the English Bay and the fireworks that begin in 3 hours!

Two hours and one thread. Not bad Whaat. Keep em coming. I've always liked the look of Indigo renders, but I'm on a mac and haven't even loaded up a Bootcamp Widoze yet or I'd give it a whirl.

Try to get the aluminum mullions more "aluminumy" and the floor needs a bit of a sheen. The radiosity must of been up high becuase you have a lot of bounce color in the ceiling.

I would like to see more.

The atmosphere on these is really cool. I can actually hear Miles Davis or Sade in the background. Lounging with a glass of wine after a long day watching the mood lighting change colors randomly. All the while hearing the intermittent horn or siren in the background, the city night winding up.

fine fine..i will scale everything up 😉

Thanks for the comments guys and gals!

They are all taken much into appreciation.

I had one day to do this image, the model was mostly done for me in CAD (just an import and cleanup in SU) I think it may have taken me 6 hours start to finish? (this is mostly Photoshop) also due to the time constraint, that is why there is no detail to the materials on the building. I needed the render in a matter of minutes, so kept the KT work to a minimum.

regarding the trees... I got in trouble for this one. There are actually no trees on site. There is nothing there but concrete and an oil refinery, but I thought I would slip those in and try to get away with that, because I find landscaping much easier on the eyes than dump trucks the size of houses filled with oilsand...

anyways, thank you everyone!

Thanks for the comment,still working

The desert is a beautiful place.

For 15 minutes after sunrise and 15 minutes before sunset.

We are also trying to figure out global warming. At 117F in the summer a few more degress are just as unbearable as a few less degrees.

I am from Pennsylvania which is about the greenest spot in the nation. Growing up there I never thought about the smell of trees. When my dad died I went back and as I got off the planes, I didn't know what I was smelling until I realized it was the plants and the trees.

i m new in rendering i ve discovered it cuple of weeks ago,great job up there
