So, John, how is Windsor Castle coming along?
-
reeeally nice
It's each time a pleasure to come and watch
What is your position to give or not and how much thickness to the roofs ?
The stones wall texture is really great! and We are not shocked by the repeat.
The roof textures are simply wonderful!I appreciate your pleasure to draw in the details like the individuals cap stones of the garden wall , the double hung windows, the garage doors...
I love the discrete render of the reflects into the glass windows..
May be a subtle Sketchup fog would give a better deepness effect ? I'm not sure

Great!

John, as ever, WOW!
Is that hill in the background from the Yorkshire Dales?

Thanks everyone.
Mojtabo, I'm using V-ray.
Tom, I used ambient occlusion as you suggested but I still need to look into it more. It's still giving a white cast from the PNG and I'm having to select colour range and delete the white! but it looks better.
Daniel, I'm still looking but there's very little plan wise.
Simon, the roof has next to no thickness (75mm) as these are only cubes with no detail on the backs to represent the buildings. Much more fun to do than spending 5-7 days on the larger buildings.
Eric, thanks.
Lee, yes I searched Yorkshire Dales on flickr and this was one of the first image. No flies on you!

I didn't suggest you'd use it -the image I was referring to looked odd to me, so I wondered if you might've used too much AO.
Then -I am hardly an expert.In any case,if you're interested in using ambient occlusion, this vid -if you've not seen it already- might be helpful:

markrd001 was right. But i wanted to tell you this: http://maggiefieldsdesign.blogspot.com/2011/03/illusion-of-space-by-atmospheric.html
maybe not so much, but a little atmosphere feeling -
YOUR BEST RENDER in my opinion. FLIPPIN brill

You manage to up the
factor with each post. Beautiful! -
you really gotta stop taking pictures and trying to pass them off as renders... it's insulting to my highly trained eye.
-
Really well done, perfectly composed, textured, lit. Looks incredibly real! -
Thank you everyone.
Tom, I should have said you "mentioned" AO, sorry. I've watched all those clips on Youtube, he's very good. That's where I got the settings for this render. I need to concentrate more on rendering as I don't seem to be able to produce anything consistent, mine always have a "cartoonie" look to them.
Edvinas, thanks for the link I understand now. I did the opposite and saturated the background!
thanks
John
