Very nice work..Would that snow texture be available someplace to download or is it private?

Thanks guys.

The next image may be the last one as I need to get to texturing and finishing. I bid this job at 30 hours and hope to get it done with four to spare. I will try post on completion if i can, usually the clients prefer not to have their property displayed online.

Some kind of WOW!!! I'm quite impressed, and inspired, thank you very much!

As Tom said this is a Wow of some kind
And reliving Dirk stirs up the dust in my mind

Your beautiful images still blow my head
Oh these houses should end up in gingerbread

wow again..the gentle tones from the sun in the last one are great.. love the background castle and sky..

i know its weird to say this, with all the great podium renders going around....but these may have really sold me on podium.. lol.. (i'm assuming its podium??)

Thirty hours, how does that relate to actual days start to finish?

Beautiful Solo, really nicely done. It's always good to see something a little different, can be very inspiring.

Solo,

30 hours! Wow. This is incredible for so little time. These images are inspiring.
I see you had to think about how to make the snow. Did you model the snow or is it a texture? This is really good work solo.

Thanks guys, I have resumed work on this model and so far I have used 17 hours and it seems on track. I have textured the buildings (remembering it needs to have a toon feel to it)

I will post again with more details when completed, may be in a week or so as client is pushing the Gaul village for sooner completion.

The original size looks better.

I think you've got it looking pretty good so far the only crit I have is some of the texturing applied to the dormer roof's look a bit off ie rotated, not parallel to the horizontal edges

tomsdesk · 14 Dec 2007, 15:59

Pete, the extra link you supplied worked great, thank you very much! These are wonderous images...do keep 'em coming.

I am especially fascinated with how much variety you have attained with a couple of versions of the same model!!! What great "grand plan" to study, thanks again!

More please.

I agree with Tom, great variety, much different than without textures, in the first pictures, it looks all the same, but now it's starting to look like a a town.
I guess what it needs now is some wooden carts, or some boxes and other small stuffs to give it sense of life.
