      Hi Paul.
      Fantastic work and you're making me homesick. Till I saw the wet roads...

      Quick question - is this on the Ormeau Road opposite the Hatfield? If so, I used to rent a flat right there, on the frontage! I recall it was a new flat but damp as hell...rubbishy wasteland out the back.

      Cheers,

      Nigel

          Thank for all the nice comments guys and gals, its a fun project as there are no drawings and all the building are being built from hand measurements and counting bricks from photos. I`ve done a couple of proposals of the intended scheme but they were only done for discussion and had a life span of about 4 hours before they were invalidated.

          Their on the Malone Road up past the Botanic Inn. I put a Google map link in the first post if you want to have a look.

          I Should have move to show next week as I'll have the survey data on Monday and will enable me to get the buildings in position in x, y and z.

            Absolutely incredible Paul!! I agree with Tom..you are the master of the stone/brick texture!!

            Thanks for sharing, inspiring, and causing a very select few to actually drool! πŸ˜‰

            Respect, indeed!

                    Solo,
                    Thanks, its clocking in at 15.5mb at the mo.
                    I've got 3 major holes to fill in front of a couple of buildings and then if you want to have a go its yours. Should be about 2-3 days work but I think my boss wants me on something else for a couple of days, so it may be next week before It's renderable.

                    I forgot to mention that our office is the blue'y grey/terracotta building at the end of the terrace with the big bay windows. Tends to make the site visits a bit of a chore; all that traveling and such :ewink:

                          Take your time, I can wait 'till next week. the size is no problem, I have a gmail mailbox. It would be an honor to render this. If possible could you mail textures seperate as well as in model as i would like to prepare the bumps and specular maps?

                          Thanks for the opertunity.

                            Just out of interest what do you get when you click on the Live Maps link?

                            I'm not sure if it brings up the link or just a UK map

                                quite nice Paul...

                                I'm not sure what what is old... just kidding but that's the point, new structures taking the que from the old in their form... but making better use of space or view.

                                and then there is your modeling... fantastic! the detail is superb... simple, elegant... as usual, great job.

                                  Hi, Kris
                                  Thanks, This is just the existing streetscape, the proposal is still being designed. I've already done 5 versions from a simple block model to an 'almost' working design but until the design is signed off I cant really show it.

                                    Did an animation last night, 2700 Tiff's at 2048x1536 totalling 15.8Gb!! It only took about 9 hours.

                                    I'm squeezing them into an avi at the moment and I'll post a version on YouTube in a bit.

                                      Here you go, one animation.
                                      It has that damn shadow flashing as the camera passes through the shadow of the street lights but other than that its OK for a WIP.

                                      Anim on YouTube

                                            Paul, that is really looking great. Do you animate on a path?

                                            What do you have for equipment? Only 9hrs! Do you think there is an exporting time difference between .jpg and .png? How many scene tabs do you have for this project so far. I think I've realized that I need more scene tabs. When I made the scenes longer in Premiere, that was when things started getting jumpy. Do you think that's what it is?

                                            😳 still drooling 😳
