Kerkythea Rendering

gistman

Hello Everyone- This is my first post here, I think. I used to be active in the old SU forum, but just never could force myself to go back when they changed to the 'google' format... Nice to see some familiar names here.

Thank you Gaieus for having such a great place.

Ok- Here is the latest project I have been working on- A mixed use infill building in Chicago. Modeled in SketchUp -> SU2K -> Rendered with Kerkythea.

Welcome Gistman!

Very nice design work and rendering! I know there would probably be a lot of light pollution from the ssurrounding environment, but I prefer the way you have chosen to highlight the project so it stands out from the surroundings.

Thats a fantastic render, I can only imagine the size of this monster (actually you mentioned it in another thread)

Great attention to detail, and use of interior lighting to create such awesome realism.

Gaieus

Yeah, I like it too, very impressive!
What bytor says: though other lights are missing, this concentrates on the model very effectively.

Bytor- Thank you- Yes, the city light and how to show it can/is a big issue. Sometimes it ends up looking more like a daytime scene...

Solo- Thank you- SketchUp + FormFonts makes it easy(ish) to add those kind of details which push your output to a more tangible level for clients.

Gaieus- oops, I thought this was your doing... Well, thank you for administrating it!

I have to say- I really don't know much about rendering, it really is Kerkythea... I have been using it for quite a while and one of things I hopefully was able to help with, was telling all of the physics nerds (I say that with love...) that unless an architect nob, like myself can use this easily, we won't use it. The interface of Kerkythea has really come a long way and combine the plug-in SU2K- Literally, you can export you .skp to KT and hit render and get something you would show a client.

Thanks again for the warm welcome, I look forward to learn and share with everyone here...
