Dermot I am confused (but I am used to that). The wall on the left of your first picture is curved which is an artifact I expect from some camera lenses but not SketchUp or rendering engines. How do you explain that or is this a form of double agentry designed to convince people that beyond a doubt this is photography and not a render?

I only noticed it after you pointed it out. It must be a lens issue as you pointed out. It is certainly not a render - I am no where near that level - think big crayons in a fist - style drawings or even better cave drawings - thats more my level!!!

I thought it was a render. I guess I am the one sitting on the blister.

This says a lot about the state of the render art when it becomes easy to loose the line between render and photography.

hats off. most excellent work. you should be proud, but if you're like the rest of us all you can see (that only you can see) are the things you should have done differently.

Cheers Rocky. Its praise indeed coming from you. BTW how did your project finish up - havent seen any images for quite some time! You must be busy doing instead of drawing!!

right you are. i will post pics when i can, but my works not quite up to your level.

Your SU modelling and rendering are way better than mine and I dont see myself as being that good - I try to do the best I can - if I'm not satisfied with the quality I rip it out and do it again - my motto is " If its not good enough for my own house - it is not good enough for any house!" It works !

my feelings exactly.

Digging through some render attempts and discovered this...

Must try and find that file! Thanks for sharing that by the way

I love it - really cool feeling and like the entourage you have used on the shelves. Cheers!!

Finally got a photo of the finished room - her idea of what the colour violet is, and mine, are a wee bit different - I want her to change it - what do the rest of you think?

Hummm. Looks Pink, not Purple. To each their own I guess. The cabinets and counter looks great. Nice a clean. The paint colour, well.....
Nice job Dermot

pbacot · 3 Aug 2010, 02:46

I was about to say, "great rendering...good job on the hood, maybe the floor is too reflective"... but it's a photo.

That looks like "hot pink" on my monitor. Maybe "strawberry ice cream" in the shadows. What's your idea of violet? Did you render it?

Kitchen looks really great though, and bears out the models and renderings. Nice to see the whole process to the reality. And the reality is everyone has their own color taste.

Congratulations!

Design and equipment are great Dermot, but I agree with the others that the "hot pink" or "bubble gum pink", what ever, is unfortunate.

Maybe photograph it in black and white for the old portfolio?

boxman79 · 3 Aug 2010, 08:48

i don't think pink is too much of a problem. However it would have been more striking if it was just painted onto one wall.

nice clean designs dermot

Rich O Brien · 3 Aug 2010, 09:44

Nice outcome Dermott! Strong color though but each to their own I suppose.

PS.
How's the health? Hope all is well

jo-ke · 3 Aug 2010, 11:31

pink is not my taste but if the customer likes it....

I will be using photoshop to change the colour in the photograph to something more pleasing to the eye. Thanks for all the comments on the kitchen. Hope to do more of these soon!

@rich24As for my health my artery is still blocked and I am doing a treadmill test next week to see if it is worth going for surgery to unblock it. It is a branch off one of the major arteries and the body has remarkably rechannelled a blood supply to the area of the heart which was being supplied by the blocked artery. There are some risks involved with the surgery and they want to weight them up against the treadmill data to see how necessary the surgery maybe (medication could do the job over time). Fingers crossed I wont need the knife!! Thanks for your concern.

P.S. Jealous as hell about the Basecamp (Jammy gits!)

Dermot,
Kitchen looks great!
RE: Color
I think you should throw away the shirt you are wearing in your Avatar and deny ever approving of such a color.

Hope you see the humor in that!

All the Best,
Charlie
