Bill, don't change your trademark I love it . I was just messing with you . And trust me lurking the shoe shop... we do it all though we will never admit it. Cheers!

Jason, In Maxwell, You can set the 'intensity' for each environmental (HDRI) channel. For instance you can increase the intensity of the 'illumination' chanel to e.g 10 (instead of default 1) to get brighter output. You can change the intensity levels for each channel seperately (doesn't have to be the same value for all). In this case, you can enable all the channels (= uploading the hdr in the refraction/reflection/background channel)except for the 'illumination' channel and let the physical sky take care of the light.

@unknownuser said: Wow. I am going to have fun watching you have fun :esurp: I am so behind the curve in rendering it is unreal. Great work. Thanks, I am not sure how often I will post progress, because this is a spare time fun;-) @robmoors said: Great renders, care to share the texture for the wood, it's simply amazing! thanks, you have PM @solo said: Beautiful! You are a very talented artist, I take much inspiration from your work. I will be watching this space for updates... thanks for sharing. ha ha, it is nice to hear that I inspire someone, I found my inspiration for this house, here, in Tadao Ando thread :egrin: thanks

Same thing here. Screenshots only. Doesn't bother me.

That is starting to look great Snorre. Play around with the styles, you might find some cool views.

Amazing, kwistenbiebel, congrats to you. All of this straight out of SU, uff, it seems that I have been away for quite some time, and there is lot of catching up for me to do;-) really cool pics :thup:

This is great work considering you're just starting, keep it up.

Impressive modeling, mustve taken quite a while I have respect for that. High Poly I assume? How many if I may ask?

BRUTALNO!!!! :esurp:

Outstanding as always MZ!!! I've been busy lately but alway glad to see your new pieces. I've been playing with Kerkythea and love it. Have you tried rendering any of you pieces with Kerkythea? Monster Rocks

John, Thanks for the feedback. You're absolutely right about SketchUp helping tease out those semi-conscious design ideas. It's like a transport mechanism from the vaguely imagined to the clearly articulated. Fred

Thanks rodent, yes that is the plan, but having a problem with it at the moment, I'll sort it asap.

I agree, very nice work. Love the subtle reflections too!

u have a good, real good hand and lot opportunities

very nice i really like the style

YES - this is what details should be like - no more boring 2D drawings. I have started on a kitchen cabinet detail but i dont think it will look as impressive as those. poster: syburn

Very nice start and I agree. It would look better if there was shadows from a few windows. Scott

There are also a couple threads started here about SU details. http://www.sketchucation.com/scf/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=984 http://www.sketchucation.com/scf/viewtopic.php?f=105&t=1036

Hehe, thanks Small texture update: [image: All.jpg]

@will03 said: I really like that style, I wouldn't mind picking up a tablet... how big is the tablet you bought? because I've heard its really hard to do with a tablet smaller than your screen... Keep up the great work! can't wait to see some more images! Surprising to me... After about a year with my 6 x 8 Wacom Graphire (11" x 10" overall), I learned to reduce the size of the "active" area, and it actually became easier for me to use! With the smaller work area, I don't have to stretch to get to the far corners of the pad. My desk space is cramped, so I have the pad parked a little too far away. So-- I'm using a 4" tall x 5.5" wide section, and thinking maybe I could swap for the smaller pad. Too bad it's so hard to find one to try before buy.
