Thanks !
Yet again, another winner 😄

My pleasure...

Edited first post, they are up in the shop now!

I hope these help some users out with their landscaped scenes! 😄

Those tools may well add 'observers' onto your Model's Materials collection, which in turn might well mess you up as you add materials... However, they are mainly encrypted, and I don't have a 'live' copy of them either, so I can't be certain...

If you narrow it down to the one culprit, or you decide its an interaction of say the two, then it would be helpful to the wider community if you advise the author[s] directly - they might be able to make their tool less 'aggressive' with some simple recoding...
😕

I'm sorry, I didn't see the numbers at the top. Thanks for your response!

Years ago Pete made a basic studio, and I think it was Al Hart who uploaded it to the warehouse. I've used it many times.
See if it works for you.

Another example...

Hi every-one.

I would welcome any advice on where to find some free UK designed 2 story house models.
I only need external views for the models, with the facility of changing external render/s.
The designs would have an integral single garage and preferably be 12m square or less.

Thanks in anticipation.

Thank you, Peter.

The output size (and the viewing size) does indeed affect the appearance of the lines. The larger the output size, the thinner and in this case harder the lines appear.

Here's an example. I used the same line style, the Straight 2B Pencil from above, and made a series of exports at different sizes. The smallest was 800 pixels wide which shows on the left. I then resized the larger images so they are all the same size. As you can see, by changing the export size you can vary the appearance of a single line style quite dramatically.

I often export lines at a larger size than the rest of the model so I can make the lines very thin. This also allows me to manipulate the image/textures and so on without affecting the lines.

Thank you!

A new HDRI straight out the oven. I captured a strange paved pathway in the middle of nowhere. It's always been quite a mystery to me! Again, low angle sun with warm afternoon light.

Thanks for looking.

I am rendering with renditioner. The cg textures site is just pictures which are not suitable for mapping to a 3d object as far as I can see. I was hoping to map the texture to the model.
Even apples and oranges are something of a challenge as the majority of so called textures on the web are just images. I wish folk would not describe their images as textures, it just muddues the water for search engines. Thanks for the replies anyway folks.

Nice workflow!

Thank you, Peter.
