Thanks for the tips on how to post well and comment Bryan K, pbacot and ely862me I'm going to ask some admin move the post

Nice work! would you happen to have a model of this that you would be willing to share? I'm doing a rendition of my own for my studio and need an accurate model to work with.

Congrats, Artistic.

Thanks for the reply, Ken. I've been using Maxwell Render. I like how the settings act similar to a camera setup. The one is quite grainy indeed. I didn't give it as much render time as I should've liked. I needed my main rendering machine for other tasks at the end of that weekend. My rendering setup isn't that complex. I've got a mac mini with a quad i7 and 16GB of ram. The larger, less grainy render took all of a weekend to get to the point it is. There were a lot of specular reflections from the light fixtures at the ceiling, and the "EXIT" signs added a lot of time, too, with the SSS material. TK2

Update3 @carloh said: looking good! are you using HDRI lighting only? at least in the daylight scene i guess some direct sunlight would give the scene some extra beauty Thanks Carloh! I knew I was missing something. Enabling the sun along with the IBL made a huge difference. [image: IIT8_Stonebrook_Sunshine.jpg] Now I really have to work on better textures.

Reading is for suckers... Looks a lot like Lumion.

Thanks mate. I think i can do some things better, but i dont have time for this .

Well that's it. Done for now. Might fiddle with it some more in the future, but it certainly was a good slump buster. (thanks Andre!)

Thank you once again Richard!! Umm yes I agree with you on chairs, maybe a bit too heavy handed with the PS work, they look a bit rough around the edges. Easily correctable

Great stuff Andy. Mr Fox can write this one off as he has no hope of a dinner here I got a great laugh out of this picture, [image: 5mQU_Chickensonladder.jpg]

Much better! I noticed you changed the lighting direction, among other things. That seems to have made a big difference.

Yeah. Kinda does.

I love these kinds of projects. I myself have been working off and on (mostly off ), on a similar one. You can find it here http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=81%26amp;t=25162. Anyway I applaud your endeavors and just keep at it. Sometimes the lack of information can be a big road block, especially with a building that no longer exists. Sometimes an obscure reference in a book can help tremendously, so check libraries and online university databases, or even browse amazon.com for books on the subject. Good Luck, I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

Nice, the bottom of the rear wings should be straighter to the side of the car and less 'rounded'. I know it is picky but I have one of those, just a little later than that version. [image: Paam_Bessy.jpg]

ok, thx.. i try create dirt map for this.. but this be my first time maybe you have any axaple or good tutorial for this.. thx

Thanks for getting back to this mate!!! That's an impressive result! Do you notice a distinct line if the angle map isn't seamless? I've so got to update my softs. It's been a while!

What an incredibly ambitious and well executed project. Right now you should be PROUD!!!!

Thank you David & Ken. Lee - Not quite finished yet, keeps getting postponed by paid work. PM me your email address and I'll send you the visopt when finished.
