      Thanks guys!

      Trying my hand at some icicles generated with Blender.

        @Gus-R Come on, Halloween hasn't even ended and I'm seeing xmas stuff!

        πŸ˜€ Halloween or not - here in D they start selling christmas biscuits shortly after the summer holidays. So this is a seasonally appropriate job and a so very nice one on top it !!!

        @ Gus R - interesting how you did it with the snow

        never trust a skinny cook

          @HornOxx I have to say I'm really having fun with this. I always wanted to add snow to renderings. D5 has a snow effect but it doesn't pile on like you can using Blender. Here I started using some Blenderkit assets and plugged in a Ford F-150.

            Years ago when I was running a long discontinued render program, I tried snow effect using a duvet for the topography and a 2d snowy tree background. It was OK. This is a few streets ahead mate. The icicles make it standout.

              @Mike-Amos I tried using the Blender snow into Sketchup but there were far to many vertexes to handle. Being able to go straight from Blender into D5 is pretty smooth. Plus I'm slowly learning some Blender procedures which are normally kind of difficult. Especially creating some geometry nodes. I skipped that step with the icicles by finding a icicle addon which is kind of easy. For some people all that might be tedious but I'm used to tedium with my drafting.

              Blenderkit has a Peterbilt cabover! I keep promising myself to model a Peterbilt conventional.

                These are some of the other cars you can get with Blenderkit.

                      Slowly but it's mostly trying out some mid level procedures and simply navigating within Blender. I have to learn to stop hitting the space bar like I do with SU and it sets off the animator in Blender. I'm trying to find some pre-made geometry nodes because some of them are too complicated. I'm sure I could figure it out but I'm too old for that and it's like calculus class.

                      I'm sure you're aware of all this with Blender. But for whoever else is reading here's an example of a geometry node to create icicles. Fortunately I was able to get it for $1.20 (it was supposed to be free) and it's pretty easy to insert. This is not the one I used for the rendering above.

                        Trying out different icicles.

                        This is using icicles geometry nodes by Ander Goico which I generated with the help of Construction Lines (which is like a CAD addon for Blender) by Don Norris. I added lines alongside the trim, fascia, under gutters, etc and converted those to curves and then added the icicle geometry node to each line. Then I synced it to D5 Render from Blender. The Bronco is another Blenderkit vehicle. These icicles are more random. It's a little tedious but that's a given.

                          @Gus-R the initial rough start is slowly blossoming into beautiful friendship.

                          these are great too!

                            Rich!

                            You know what's funny is the brick is a default brick material from SU, I ran it through D5's AI material whiz bang machine.
