Thanks Daniel, I think the background is curtessy of the twilight forum but I cannot be certain, I shall leave it here in case anyone wants it.

Looks very nice SDF 😄

I've been playing around with CryEngine 3 myself lately and I'm getting pretty excited by it. Very easy to use and with nice results. My idea was use CryEngine 3 for just the terrain/scenery modeling and then export that and combine it with my renderings from SketchUp in Photoshop. That way I would overcome the texturing problems and somewhat lack of photo-realism that comes from doing all the final compositions and renderings in CryEngine. One problem I've stumbled upon though is how would I go about exporting my final scene from CryEngine, as an image, to Photoshop without having to resort to the good old print screen button 😛? Is there a better way of doing this? Some option I'm not seeing or maybe a third-party plugin of some sort?

Thanks in advance for your help and again, congratulation on your project!

hahahah,,,ok i got it,,, 😆

Thanks Daniel!

Here comes a new shot, kitchen side with wiew to the outside through the green house.

Don't spent to much time on the computer those days, weather is so fine and the swimming pool is very attractive 😉

Nice weekend to you all.

...and done.

Not all the little details are in place. The poly count was getting to high. (click on the picture for larger image)

Well done, I like the simplicity of the design. 😄

Very nice!

Wow! I've been doing a lot with sketchy physics and ruby; I think you have inspired me to jump more into rendering. Any tutorials or workflow you can recommend?

Why Irish? I'm English. He's obviously cooking beans on toast! 😆

Hello Box, 👍

"I make one bit now and want to see how it looks rendered"

afraid you've caught the rendering bug! thankfully there's no known cure 😄

Interesting reading, since increasing saturation in Twilight, but of the lighting only, has been a question of mine as well. I am not doing architectural renders, but special events, which sometimes requires soft lights and other times I need the sharp almost neon lights that go along with these types of events. For example, spot lights under palm trees in the Bahamas and which totally light up the underside of the fronds with a bright highly saturated light. For this reason I prefer the saturation settings in LightUp which gives you some really vibrant colours.

Sweet...

i like to use my glasses,,or my eyes get more minus,,,:D
you must be crazy man,,,it's oke,, no,,no,,i mean,,it's amazing,,no more then that,, can not talk,,,speechless..😄

Very nice!

Well, I know I haven't posted in a while, but I wanted to provide a little bit of closure. The final convention poster is still quite a long way off from completion, but I wanted to show how I resolved the red navigation light issue in Photoshop.

And a rough draft of what the whole poster will look like:

I think it's a great success! Thanks for all the input!

Any suggestions to where i can get toon textures, not many available on the web, or even tuts on how to create good toon textures, i hope ye all give iron sight studies and I your support 😄

I don't know if this helps you, but just ran across this tut by BooFredLay: http://sketchucation.com/shop/books/30-intermediate/171-character-modeling-in-sketchup

What a great experiment. It has inspired me to do some of my own. I'll have to post later.

The reference is too good, and too detailed to be a 3d. I will further investigate.I worked in the joinery factory and I tell you veneers do repeat specially if they are from one batch, and yes we do flip them sometimes, just to break the noticeable repeats.

Hello John, very nice use of textures, what size are you rendering at because they look a little soft.
John

Yes they are small. 1046x576 just test renders.

Love your work.
Show your site when people visit. They look at mine then I show them yours.
Very humbling!
