I think Dave is right with an L shaped desk there would be no need for the foot to be longer than any of the other feet.

Your doing a nice job of it BTW

Tet, is the Vietnamese New Year. A time to be with family and remember family ancestors. If I'm not mistaken, many will visit the graves of their ancestors bringing gifts and food to honor them. Chuc Mung Nam Moi Nguyễn... Hopefully that says something like Happy New Year Nguyen.

😛 Vietnamese talk " CHUNG MUNG NAM MOI"
Thanks all views

Ahhhh.... That's wonderful. Ready for the shop.

Hi Notareal,

Thanks for the tips.

Ken.

Hi John,

Don't worry about being nit-picky. Nit-pick to your heart's content as this is the type of critique I'm looking for. I'm thinking of going freelance so any tips anyone can give me can only help me perform better. Plus it prepares me for future nit-picky clients 😆 .

I actually updated the image before you posted your message. It's still missing the small details that you suggested, but I've fixed the windows and added curtains behind them. Hopefully you'll agree it looks better now.

Here's the image:

Residential Exterior 2nd draft

I posted this on the SU Podium forums and they said some of the same things you did. I guess it's times like these I realise how much I still have left to learn about rendering.

I'll be back with a new update some time in the (hopefully) near future.

Regards,

Ken.

A pleasure.

Forgot to mention that you need a better material for the tiles.

Keep up the good work!

Just found this thread.
Great Rendering, Looks like the real thing
Did This Originate With An Actual DWG In Sketchup?
If So Is It Available? Detail Is Amazing

Oh your curves and line work are beautiful... That hull is a work of art.

Thank you!

Looks like an optic illusion. Great sketchy look.

Very good renderings and great work on the object. I also like the water 😄

@hellnbak said:

Well, it just ruins it for me. I no longer like your work 😉

🤣

Thanks for the inputs, guys 😄
i I too think they are a little too squared and needs a little smoothing.

A funny thing is that i was thinking that the idea of futuristic bobcat was stupid, but when searching for inspiration and reference i found many things that are very close to the style i have in mind. Take a look at those mech concept:

Here is another thing i designed, this might be some sort of ambulance. (look at the attachements)

hi again!

omiKron, thanks for your comment!!

tom72, thanks a lot, yes, grass is made with the maxwell's grass feature...
about DOF in vray: you have to create a z depth pass, then in photoshop use that pass to give the depth to your render using the lens blur filter...
the following tutorial is for 3D max but it should work similar with SU + vray

Carloh, much appreciated! I used SSS (single sided) material for grass, and a texture for the blades shared by Peter Guthrie in this tutorial:

thanks again, best

now i changed the grill design 😄but when anyone have an idea how i make this kind of grill, it would be great when he tell me how it works 😄 :

search forum and you will find some honeycomb results

Thank you Victor. It's an interesting tutorial but I'm not sure how the HDRI would really help since the cabinets are inside a box and the HDRI would be outside. HDRIs might be something I'll look at one day but I like keeping my renders simple. I have no intention of trying to make anyone think my images are photographs and I don't want to spend hours creating images. There's no return on that investment for me. Quick and easy is what I'm after. Even with the reflections and three lights the render time was under three minutes.

Some more detail, the reactor is based on a non sustained reaction idea and being a little over a meter across would put the Skunkworks to shame with their "tiny" trailer-sized reactor they are working on, if it worked.

Two neutrons are raced around the track and then collide as femto-second laser pulses hit the same spot. The inner layer collects the waves of energy. The second is magnetic shielding and the third is secondary heat shielding if the first layer fails.

This is only half of the reactor. Lots of components used and manipulated.

The three shells for the fusion reactor based on particle acceleration.
