    Looks great Oli, what renderer did you use? and what setting as that looks biased.

            Are there any render tutorials on twilight? I've seen a lot of great renders done with twilight (including this one πŸ˜„ )

              twilight for this particular one.

              I used exterior progressive to flint template. spherical sky and sunlight enabled πŸ˜„ (although I added sky back in PP cos it was a bit distorted)

              (previous renders were podium biased for speed)

                  In my knowledge no, but if you render alpha mask with 2-3x greater resolution and scale it down in photoshop, you will get AA + Supersampling.

                      yeah......the manual lol πŸ˜‰

                      this was very easy to setup, like 5 mins to setup the render (lots more time to model) and 15 hours to render it, although I could have stopped it a lot sooner.

                      See the youtube transition here:

                      sorry about the bad quality, thats youtube for ya

                        If it's for replacing the background, have you tried this with a big plane instead?

                              Hey Oli,

                              Thanks for all the great images. You mentioned you use a technique called "sub-smooth". Can you fill me in on what that is exactly or point me in the direction of a forum that can help me learn. Thanks so much.

                                its a modeling plugin for making organic forms. its $22 but its well worth it.

                                Search this forum for subdivide and smooth and there's tons of information and tutorials. try youtube also.

                                I made this building with it a while back, lots of possibilities:

                                    This is starting to look like a work of art! It reminds me of Max Ernst's painting La joie de vivre .

                                        Miguel...the similarites are ridiculous!!

                                        I've never seen that painting before but the concept behind the artist's approach is pretty much the same as mine. It's like a study into curiosity, intimidation and fear. The fear of the unknown, what we can't see. It symbolises the human condition and the deep complexity of our minds....a jungle of thoughts, fears and expectations along this path of life.

                                        That's my philosophy πŸ˜„
