      @Dale: Thanks very much! for what i saw in these few days, this forum is a mine of inspiration

      @Shura: fortunately my son is asleep, but the heat hurts me too!
      Thank for appreciate. πŸ‘
      About IDX, i started experimenting recently, but i think that the soft shadows are not supported (however i'm happy to be wrong). For reflections instead seems to work fine, although these images do not actually seem ...

      Upload below another image rendered with IDX, where the reflections are good, but the shadows are always hard

      Good night πŸ˜„

            yeah sharp shadows never look real do they?

            why not try podium or twilight rendering engines....they both have soft shadows. and in twilight you can set how much blur!!....both integrated into sketchup. try demos for free! however for your scene I think Twilight would work better.

                  Very nice work, Ivan. In the first image, I'd delete the pigeons - in my opinion, too much entourage and the composition seems crowded. In the B&W image, you might look at lightening it, or changing the sky - it looks dark and forboding. Love the stone material in the last image.

                  My avatar is an anachronism.

                    Bryan said it, very good images indeed, espeially the last one! (I really like detail shots.)
                    Like Oli I would recommend Twilight too, it has a very helpful forum as well. Also there are quite a few discussions on SU integrated render apps in the extensions forum here at SCF.

                        My first choice was IDX, then I've found twilight and this became the one and only renderengine I am using.
