          Thank you 😄

          A try out using Vray. Unfortunately VfSU does not support instancing/proxies so I had to delete a lot of the 3D vegetation for this one to avoid crashes:

            I am again amazed about how consistent quality you get out of different render engines.

              love the camera angle on those indigo images! where is this vegetation from?? i need to buy some..

              btw, i'm using the a pre-release version of the new maxwell sketchup plugin that includes instancing and its working great so far 👍 i just need to look into using dummy components now..

                I pm'ed Pelias earlier today to get my hands on this baby. How's workflow?

                Er, sorry for this, Kwisten. Bit of a hijack. 😳 Excellent image again - Asgvis should take a look at instancing.

                  They now have the ability to add proxies since Chaos Group updated the Vray SDK but they haven't worked out just how they are going to implement as yet; they seem to having a lot of difficulties coping with the way SU deals with a lot of other things at the moment (geometry, texture mapping etc..) but it looks like a great feature to get.

                    Thanks for the nice comments guys.

                    @Marked:The vegetation I use comes from different sources (3d warehouse, evermotion, Xfrog).
                    Some of those models need poly shrinking (even when using instancing).

                    @Stinkie: no problem 😉. I hope instancing for Maxwell will work as it should. Sometimes I have the feeling that the development of the Maxwell plugin somewhat limbs behind...

                    @Dzinetech: I agree, instancing should be on the to do list for VfSU asap.

                      There's some weird experimenting going on in that house, by the looks of them lights. Other than that: 👍

                      Like the reflections on the cobble stones (that the right word?). 👍

                        looks amazing, I love the specular reflections on the paving stones. I assume you used LEM lighting on window surfaces for lighting right?

                          Thanks Stinkie and Solo.

                          Indeed I used a light emitting material for those windows.
                          Actually, for most unbiased engines, this is the only way to 'model' light (besides sun).
