Wow.

[pilou]

Very clean result!

The night ambient light is so real! If the sky had a tiny bit of clouds or mist, it'd be even more realistic. Great picture.

Does remind me of Sweden--as seen in films

Nice renders and usage of a free plugin!

Love the night-shots

My only point of critisism would be the 'hard' edges in your model:
You get more realistic looking renders by rounding/beveling the corners. Not much, but just a bit.
Now al the corners look like sharpened knives, if you understand what I mean
When rounding the corners a bit, you get a more realistic transition of lightfall and reflections in corners, what gives a more even build up in colour-changes

If you want, I can make some examples to show in renders what I mean

hi guys!

Bryan thanks a lot man, you leave allways a positive

Pilou merci beaucoup, for leaving a comment!

Peter, I appreciate your comment, the ambient light is just done with maxwells physical sky, when the image is finished I will add a sky in post production

sh00ks thanks for commenting... it is amazing the results this plugin can give!
yes I understand what you mean and agree with you about the corners, but I dont know a way to fillet/chamfer them within sketchup (im not an expert with SU), I would appreciate a lot if you could show me how to do it in a quick and efficient way (any plugin or tutorial?)...

thanks again to all...
