Some new Renders..

silver_shadow · 29 Jun 2009, 07:03

No sorry didn't do that project
I usually use 1250x1250 as a max size texture, if my textures give problems to render
Vray can manage bigger textures...but sometimes do run into trouble when the model gets bigger. So id say 1250x1250 is probably quite safe

I'm trying to get a nice reed texture like yours in the model, so I downloaded it from cgtextures. here's a quick try

hi silvershadow, thank you sooo much for all your amazing works and great tutorials on so many of your threads!!! i wonder if you could share with us some tips on how you did the forground sandy beach and background images in photoshop. they look so seamless!!! i felt the same when i saw freeagent's bush lodge with the dry grassland foreground. you guys inspire me to learn more about post processing! thanks again!

thanx, sorry for the missing images. (Stupid photo bucket errors)
The thing i sometimes do and usually work well is say for the sand or grass, render your model with a flat color, like sandish for sand or greenish for grass. Then in photoshop drop a image over that grass or sand, and say it should be overlay or any of those that suit your needs. and use an eraser to control areas.

hi rose
I learned sketchup and vray mostly thru trial and error. This website has good tutorials to get you going on sketchup. On the Vray side, probably the best way is to look for vray in general, does not need to be su, it could be for rhino or max, the way its working applies the same to all other applications. Sorry, i know its not much help.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for getting back to me quickly...Ofcourse its of great help...I will look into it...I had been looking at certain tutorials in youtube,and other sites...and it was of gr8 help..However I never found anything related to architecture-for example importing the plan from autocad to sketchup,placing the top floors and developing the model and such...
Thanks once again for helping me.
Thanks

Great work Silver Shadow! i just joined this forum and didn't realise that Cape Town was taking the world by 3d storm! i'm also based in Cape Town. where did you and Free Agent work together?

I just have a regarding the sand? HOW DID YOU DO IT?! are they all comps with actual photos backgrounds or was teh sand and texture modelled and rendered. I'm sitting with the same sort of scene and i'm not sure how do achieve this!
