Sketchup + artlantis

[Anssi]

Mike,

It's a good start. I like ArtLantis a lot too for its speed and relative ease, but once you get the hang of its materials and lighting, I find getting rid of the characteristic a bit plasticky "Artlantis look" is somewhat challenging. Maybe it is mostly about texturing, the standard materials are not particularly good.

Looking good Mike.
I like Artlantis, I think it's pretty easy to use. I think you could add a bit of reflection to the cars and maybe put something in front of your model so that it will reflect in the windows.
Some people use the same model, make a component and rotate 180. Look forward to seeing your progress.

The reflection on the road is a little strong. It looks like it just got done raining.

neat!! run it thru Squirlz to get some drizzle and voila!

I was thinking the same thing about the rain. Maybe put some clouds in the background, like the storm front just passed.

Great work.
