      Wow! thanks guys, lots of info to ponder over.

      Jon, No it's not a real street, just another scene I compiled for my portfolio while things are slow.I have a project that's coming up which may require something similar so I thought I'd take the opertunity to sharpen the skills.

      Dcauldwell, Thanks for the compliments and info.

      Mr.S, The above are default Visopt's, below is a 'Eye candy' one from Silvershadow.
      I used standard camera, The top render took 7 minutes, I used standard SU materials above and below I used vray glass mat.
      The dreamy look is achieved with Corel's paintshop pro, there is a 'soft focus' option that does a great job, I suppose 'Bloom' is PS's equivalent.
      The file size is a tribute to careful modeling, using components, the lack of photo textures, and purging everything.

      Adam, I have certainly noticed that there are many options and they can make or break a render very easily, I do need to get a grip of these features in order to master this app, thanks for the links guys.

      I hope y'all don't mind me posting variations of the same model as I learn.
      The next one is a true 'clay' style, this one comes with compliments from Silvershadow who kindly sent me his Vispot for his 'eye candy' renderings. I love the detail in it.

      This one was done with Vue 7, I used the new GI engine with a foggy atmosphere, I also made it sharp. To my surprise it rendered in half the time the vray one above did at twice the size.

            once again you spoil us with a beautifully detailed model, Solo. great clay renders with v-ray.
            but I am always amazed how complete Vue renders look (with atmosphere and vegetation they always seem to be a scene out of a real world situation).

                These are great Pete. The use of a very good model helps also.

                Loving the fog effect created in Vue ๐Ÿ‘

                  Hey Pete,
                  They all look great. Now once again my mind has been paused with which render Program to purchase. I assume that Vue is geared towards exterior renderings? I noticed the one you did of the Coke and Pot, it looks very good. Which Vue is the one you use? Thanks for your input.

                  Cheers, Jeff

                  Have I mentioned how much of a laugh I get out of some of the Signatures on here!

                    Thanks guys.

                    Jeff, most of my Vue renders was done with version 6, I currently use Vue 7 infinite.

                    Okay, these are the last of the Solo-town renders.
                    This one is another Vue render, what i like is the atmosphere is a dusk one that gives reflected color on the glass and slight color on buildings which are colorless.

                    http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/9733/solotown1ed7za2.jpg

                    Now this is a Podium render, i used the noisey preset and IMO the only true clay rendering of the lot.
                    There is also more details added.

                      My favourite is the first render with plants in it. It looks so slick, I felt like giving you money.

                            Pete.
                            All of the renders capture a number of different details. From architectural to environmental. I have to say my favorite is the dusk one. The sky is what enhances the entire look. The reflections are for me the icing on the cake. They add their own depth to an incredible scene. Incredible detail without being overdone.

                                I'd love to give Vray a try, but I just can't justify the price.

                                  Steelers, yes the color vegetation is Vue, the 3D mesh ones are from 3D tree generator.

                                  I have done the apartment (flats) and added it to scene, unfortunatly I have come to the end of SU as a tool from here and will need to continue in Max as SU's poly limit is about reached.

                                  These are both Podium 1,6

                                        If you fancy uploading or sending the skp i can run it through maxwell render, i recon it would make a good comparison!

                                        (although obviously maxwell takes a little longer!)

                                          Karlfucious, there is no bumps, displacement or textures, everything is modelled, every brick, roof tiles, etc.

                                          Decipher, I would like to but seems that the models are to be purchased after all, with an additional three that I have still to do.

                                            Pete,

                                            When you say continue in Max, do you generally just assemble your scene in Max and continue to model in SU? I'm really curious about your Max/SU integration. Do you do any rendering in Max?
