Very nice. I particularly like the second one with the landscape reflection and the overall design of the addition.

My grandfather used to work copper in Argentina.

I have just added a 4th view to the ones posted above.

Edson,

I have to say, I rarely post and rarely reply but the design is fantastic. A beautiful project and as mentioned by others, your presentation is near flawless.

Best wishes,

Allen

thanks gu, daniel, bruce and allen for your kind words.

all i can say is that my progress in modelling and rendering began the moment i joined SCF and, later, the podium forum. with the help of several people i have been able to develop and fine tune my skills in SUp, podium and photoshop. it would take me much longer to advance this much if i did not have this amazing support.

my first night render. 24m to render plus 10-15m post processing.

Beautiful! I love this project and the renders are top notch.

Hello Edson!
Really nice renders!!
Did you give up on Kerkythea for good?
If yes why?

thanks. yes i did (although "for good"is a bit too strong). KT is a great application -- and it is free! -- but we did not get along very well. many people create beautiful renders with it but i had difficulties dealing with it even for the simplest of tasks. later on i realized that i am more confortable with something which is an extension of SUp rather than with a stand-alone app so that all the preparations for the renders are done there.

podium suits me perfectly in that respect -- besides having a very short learning curve -- and with it i am being able to produce decent renders in short time. as renders are a means to the higher end of producing good designs, it is important for me that making them does not take too much of my time.

love what you're doing with Podium, edson..these are great... of course, the design doesnt hurt the image, either

Stinkie · 21 Dec 2008, 01:10

I agree with Jason. Heck, if I had the time, I'd love to let either Indigo or Maxwell loose on your model. Great stuff.

Gus R · 21 Dec 2008, 03:40

Excellent night rendering Edson. Great atmosphere.

Edson · 21 Dec 2008, 10:24

thanks, jason, stinkie and gus.

and stinkie (it is tom, is it not?), be my guest. you can play with the model anytime.

Stinkie · 21 Dec 2008, 12:46

Thanks, Edson. In due time I'll let my people contact your people, so hang on to that model! And yes, my name is Tom.

Edson,
thank you for the quick answer!
I'm having the same dilemma as you. I'm looking for renderer that can produce nice renders, quick and fast.
Luckily, now i have little time around Xmas to learn more about KT which is the most impressive (and free!) rendering engine i met so far.
I'm pretty sure I will never master KT as the the guys over there in the KT Forums http://www.kerkythea.net/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28&Itemid=70 but i hope to "develop" a "method" or a set of tools with I can create nice renders with just a few clicks, like you do with Podium.
At least this is my goal for the next few days/weeks
So thanks again, I will check back here from time to time to see nice projects from you and others!

Merry Xmas!

A.
