Thanks, Oli.

That's some attic ! Well done.

The first one you've seen before, just updated. The second one is the reverse view on the same floor using the same time of day light. [image: 6RD8_Lakehousediningfloor.jpg] [image: 1Xzw_Lakehousediningfloor2.jpg]

Nice!

Likewise, thinking this was a photo. You have an eye for setting a scene and framing a render that is just special. Yourself and John just make my jaw hit the floor.

Excellent renders!

Superb.

Great render.

Another hit, good enough to stick on a wrist and go.

Seriously good, needs a bolder strewn floor though.

Excellent!

Yes Brett i think your right just slightly too chunky. Thanks for the comment.

@firstliight said: I love using sketchup and lumion, lately I have ideas of shapes I want to try that I don't yet know how to create in sketchup, more organic type buildings like Zaha Hadid. I have been thinking of trying FormZ 8 to model with because its something like sketchup but with nurbs tools. Aaron, you don't need FormZ or any other more robust programs like Maya or Max because you can virtually build anything in SketchUp, including organic shapes like Zaha Hadid's architecture, by using plugins. Check out the Plugin forum (http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=323, as well as the Extension Warehouse and Extension Store (you have to install it) for all the Plugins available. Some are free and others cost a bit of money but it's all worth it. Some of my favorite are from TIG, Fredo6, Chris Fulllmer, thomthom, Whaat, just to name a few. If you want to do organic shapes, check out SUbD by Thomas Thomassen (http://evilsoftwareempire.com/subd. Best of luck! _KN

Much classier design than the current. As always, excellent modeling, render and pano!

I went to a Turkish Barber in Riyadh and he used the straight razor on the admittedly few occasions I had shave AND haircut, him I trusted, me I am not too sure about The string thing for stray hairs on the face, neck and sideburn region I did not get used to and strikes me as being like waxing. Something I could not get over was the fact that we had Greeks and Turks working over there and they are some of the nicest, most genuine people I have ever met. Put them together and it was like oil and water sometimes.

Thanks Mike!

Very nice job. Light looks great!

Thanks John!

Thanks Mike and Pbacot. Raylectron makes these small scene renders very easy. All I really have to do its use pre-sets for the materials and minor adjustment of the light and it's done in 5 minutes. This model uses just 3 materials: wood, metal and black. I tell Raylectron to make the metal chrome, the wood shiny and then just use Sketchup's sun and Raylectron's default environment.
