      So, here's a couple of things I did in Sketchup, Kerkythea and Photoshop.

      Like Gaieus, I also needed to copy/paste the url's directly in order to see the images...
      Really nice work you've done... πŸ‘

      @leminilab said:

      For example, this might sound silly but I'd like to insert a background image (street with trees for example) to these windows.

      You can do this in many different ways...

      1.) In Kerkythea, you can simply use a spherical sky... πŸ˜„
      Please see page 27 and 28 in the Getting Started tutorial... πŸ˜‰

      2.) You could make a plane, apply the image you want to set as a background...

      Well... Pictures often says more than a thousand words... πŸ˜‰
      A screen shot from SU and the render...
      Hope you get the point...?!? πŸ˜‰

      I'd really like to move the topic to the Gallery instead.

      I fully agree...

        Hi Nicholas,

        There is some great stuff here - I'd really like to move the topic to the Gallery instead.

        However your images do not load into the forum (I had to paste their URL one by one into my browser window). Why don't you attach them straight to the post instead?

        Hi,

        Thank you very much for your patience ! I just discovered the attachment tab thanks to your post !
        Can't see any loser smiley on the list. I think I'd deserve one though !

        Move the post to the gallery is OK for me though I still have very basic questions sometimes...
        Maybe I'll save them for the Newbie section... Like the background image one for example... πŸ˜‰

          Sorry bout that. This Forum thing is brand new to me.

          Thank you very much ! I'm have this low self-esteem so this is huge for me ! Thanks a lot !
          By the way, is there a simple way to view your work ? I'm always thrilled to discover other peoples' method and tricks !

                    I don't have a special gallery of my work, but you can make a search here at the SCF, at the KT Forum and of course at the Twilight Forum and you'll see my posts... πŸ˜‰

                      Hi ! Just tried the cyclo method and it works alright !

                      cyclo.jpg

                      I guess in that case it's a bit different since this is the second floor to a house. Also since this is a french window and my view is pointing down, you should see the garden and a bit of the street and house... Well it is a bit hard to explain but I guess the best way to do it would be to model the street !

                      I'll give it a try someday and update !
                      I'll also try physical sky soon. Looks nice !

                      Thank you so much anyway !

                        Very nice work, I like how you have used the lines as an overlay.
