Impressive Rich.

I'm in awe here looking at that, fantastic work, how long did it take to construct? Render?
-
Cool rendering!
Blender is "The Program" !
I have seen a conference by the author himself yesterday! (a French guy Coyhot) site in English
This programm is absolutly amazing!
How to make this in 2 hours (only white moving biped is given)

Very nice renders Rick
Can you post a cycles nodes setup?
Render time? GPU or CPU? -
These are refreshing Rich!
They would make an awesome desktop background. -

Render time? GPU or CPU?I didn't use Nodes for the Cycles render. I used it on the Island image further up. But here is the Node setup from that....
As for render times. The baking of the fluid simulation took about 17mins and the render of one still with 100 passes was about 37mins. I can't get Cycles to work with my ATI card on my Notebook so I'm not getting the full benefit of Cycles yet.
It is giving an error that it needs opencl 1.1 or newer.

I have tried to learn blender, but it seemed beyond my reach. When time allows I will try again.

I feel exactly the same way.
Nice work Rich

He is good. I've watched all of them so far. He talks too fast and doesn't explain well for beginners.
Although, his guest video on character rigging is very detailed and really explains it well.

I strongly recommend you to register to blenderartists.org if not done already.
with some similar name, I guess, so to find you as a friend there.
I also recommend you to learn the nodes set up system of cycles. An excellent UI with almost endless possible solutions. Very easy to handle it, after watching some basic setups.
Blender isn't sketchUp. But, it does huge steps to this direction, day by day. On the other hand it's much more powerful on organic modeling.
Blender isn't just another modeler, either. It's much more. A powerful app that is developing rapidly.
And still, we can use SU for archi-modeling and export excellent obj files to blender. Textures and UVs included. Thanks to TIG

Nice renders Rich
I wish I had more time to play with Blender... paying work comes first though. Which tutorials are you following?One observation - looks like that fire hose stream of water would wash away that glass to the far wall...
-
Thanks Andy
I following BlenderGuru stuff mainly. Though he can be hard to follow at times.
CGCookie also has some good stuff.
My aim is to learn the simulation/animation aspect. Blender isn't actually that hard after about a week. Sure there are lots of dials but like Vray you can ignore most in the beginning then just add as you go.
....it's a really heavy glass

Hey Rich, did you get the blender keyboard shortcuts "cheat sheet" yet?

Excellent renders by the way! -
+1
thanks for the links.
I'll give it one more try...

http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=179&t=44345I enjoyed the making of a snow scene. Though not for cycles*, still very enlightening on how to use weight painting.
*can be done in cycles, masks (stencils) have to be handled as 'factors'. lol, learn cycles nodes!About shortcuts and inputs:
Under user preferences, find them there, it's easier.
Have a look how my setup looks.
