        I don't follow any religion, the above visual comment was based on a rather exaggerated stereotypical image of the 2 religions. 😕

        English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark allies, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

          I am not going into a religion thing...😉 (but I would be careful not to arouse people though as it's a delicate subject to some)
          Just rendering along. This time using Fry and with a slightly different stone texture:

          I hope to try out Indigo for this scene (I like Whaats renderings a lot) as soon as I get the web based GUI to work.

            Very nice, the new stone is a vast improvement on the existing material.

            Note:
            I've edited my previous post and removed the image.

              Actually Paul, I liked the animated gif a lot. (going to hell....going to heaven). I would just have taken the literal religion names out.
              Any chance to see an adapted version posted again?

                Fantastic renders...all of them.

                Paul I really do not care one way or the other. But you know Northern Irland better than me...Less things sparkled all out war there in the past.

                  Just thought I'd mention that biebel is referring to the VERY new beta of SkIndigo which still has some kinks to work out. The current official release is version 0.9.1 which (from all known accounts) is working perfectly.

                    Rendering the interior is a tough nut to crack as the computers RAM is taken to its limits when pushing render.
                    Rendered with Podium 1.5: Render time about 35 minutes

                          And a last one (also Vray).
                          Thank you Paul for borrowing your (fine) model.
                          It was a nice exercise on overcoming the RAM issues one can experience in trying to render from SU.
                          This issue is one of the major things to be solved in next SU updates imho (although I have the feeling the Google team does not hear its CG customers...maybe we are too much of a niche market 😕 )

                            WOW!!

                            The last image...in Riddick speak it's a "render of renders".

                            Now let your rig cool down, after that render your Ram must be glowing, and CPU on verge of melting.

                              Thanks and you are damn right 😄...CPU is smoking

                              Rendering this scene actually was a nightmare with multiple crashes all around.
                              I think I obtained a succes rate less than 30 % when hitting the render button on different render apps.
                              All the rest were bugsplats, SU stalls etc...
                              This makes me conclude that this is more a Sketchup problem than a render app problem.
                              Also I think render software developers should try to seperate the render process from SU (In the task manager the CPU resources are combined with the SU one).

                              The crashes are troublesome, certainly if you really need the software in your professional workflow.
                              Luckily for me these church images were play and not work.
                              In my professional work (architect) I expect a bit more stable environment, a thing Google Sketchup cannot provide me anymore when I start using render software on big models.....but than again, SU is so easy. Yes sir.

                                  I'm blown away, both by the SU model and by the renderings. This was so good I showed my wife.

                                    Funny, I did the same thing! That is an outstanding model.

                                          I just want to say a big thanks for all your hard work and nice comments. Anyone who's worked on a project for an extended period of time will apreciate that familiarity can breed contempt and to be honest that damm church was becomming a big bore to me but.....

                                          You've brought it alive again, each new image you've posted has had me and my colleagues ohh'ing and ahh'ing. Their all fantastic but my favourite has to be the over the roof shot by Kwistenbiebel for 3 reasons 1, It caught me by complete surprise, 2, its a view I've never seen before (Believe me, I've seen them all!!) and 3, its beautiful in its simplicity.

                                          I'm originally an engineer by trade and find myself here, in architecture, through a series of weird job moves in my earlier working life. I don't (as far as I concerned) have an artistic eye so its been fantastic to see what people with 'said eye' can do with what I've made.

                                          If anybody going to collecting flowers around here, its you lot, so here's some that my wife created in Xara as a thank you.

                                          PS
                                          I'm going to take the model of the church down tomorrow (14-11-2007) as prommised but if you want it, I'll upload the other scheme in this thread in a couple of days, I've only got one more building to finish and I should have that done tommorrow.
