A stroll by the church..

mitcorb & Daniel, Thank You again.
John, this "happy" render was a joy to model.
cadmunkey, we all evolve with each model just like Sketchup is evolving. The only problem is we all spend a year trying to catch our mentors, only to find they skipped three years ahead in that time!
regards
John

Absolutely lovely John. Reminds me of Beverley and the Minster. Looking forward to seeing the tut.

Great work mate.

I really like this one. It maybe time to post all your pictures together.
Would make a wonderful galley.

John

I was watching BBC America and PBS and thought you would be able to model a great shop front from 'open all hours' or the house from 'Father Ted'.

Thank You all.
Lee, It's not Beverley, I have the picture but never saved the location on the pic, I'ts Yorkshire though .
Jonathan & John, galleries sound great in practice but imagine the server load if every member had their own!. I'm paying for web hosting space with my Internet package but havn't a clue how to set a page up!
Pete, I've looked at the shop in open all hours before, the shops still there so no prob to get dimensions from street-view. Let me finish the model I'm on with and I'll see what I can do.
regards John

I love Beverley! Apparently Beverley has the best state run school in England in it (not that I'm much of a fan of state run schools any more )

Again, very nice work John.

John, your texturing skills are outstanding. A masterclass on how you go about texturing would undoubtedly draw lots of interest!

KarinaGM · 16 May 2011, 14:50

Ohhh those textures!!! they are better in each image you post
And I love them

Crankston Shnord · 16 May 2011, 15:36

Nice Job

I meant posting all your pictures in one thread one this site. So we can all see them as a collective. Just an idea.
Just one crit. Not sure what renderer you are using. But have you thought about using a bulge / bumpmap for your glass material. To give that old warped reflection glass look.
Look forward to your next post.

Tom, I've never visited Beverley, I love the stone buildings in the rural parts of Yorkshire.
John. I don't know about a masterclass! All I can say is I PS textures before applying to a model and make lots of quick, small renders. It's a pain in the a**e to change things in PS afterwrds.
Karina & Crankston, Thank you both.
Jonathan, I'm using V-ray but I only learning to use it, a lot of the settings are far above my head. A glass bump map, I've never heard of but I'd be interested to learn more about it.
Kind regards John
