      very good pictures especially the first and second, this very successful brick wall and trees (are put in photoshop?) always gave me the SUPodium curiosity, but the truth will never drive, I think it has much power that if .
      ahhh welcome πŸ˜„

        kevsterman, these are some good renders.

        I am particularly impressed by the surrounding greenery. you really managed to embed the models in an environment (my buildings always look out of place 😞 )
        the level of detail is exceptionally good!

        however, they look a bit like toy houses to me. something you should be able to change easily by inserting some people. thus we have something to compare their size to.

          I have to agree with the others these images being from Podium are exceptional!!!

          the vegetation is particularly good! I'd like to ask are they all clips added pre or post processing. I also agree that some peeps would help give scale!

              To answer your questions about the vegetation, they are all clipmaps. Other than a final cropping there was no post processing involved.

              I agree that some people would help to give it a sense of scale and also bring it alive some more.

              Thanks for your comments guys. I really appreciate them. I haven't been using Podium for very long so I'm still getting used to it but its a great programme and I love using it.

                You're right, Chango70, I do intend on modeling some contemporary style housing. I'm actually working on an interior model now, a birds eye view of a complete apartment and just trying to work out how best to light it for Podium. I've not done interiors before but there is plenty of info on both this site and over at the Podium forums so I'm doing lots of searches today πŸ˜„

                Thanks for your suggestion on the tarmac colour. It is quite pale and would benefit from being made darker πŸ‘

                  Another idea. Why don't you model up the 'Magnum Opus' of the office you are applying to. That way not only are you show casing your skills you also appear to be enthusiastic and interested in what they are doing, which often can be the key.

                    Brilliant renders! I was just thinking since your last employer only does traditional style houses perhaps it would be a good idea to model up modern ones. This will open up your options. One with lots of glass would be a nice contrast and some interior to go with it.

                    I noticed on the second image the tarmac is a bit to light. I would have made it darker.

                      That's a great idea, chango. I haven't got anywhere in particular in mind at the moment but once I start looking round a bit more closely I think thats something I would do. β˜€

                          Great work kevsterman. I would go along with the general comments,
                          perhaps some people in the scenes.

                            I hope you're right, Mike.

                              Welcome Kev,

                              I think these images are pretty amazing, especially the first two.
                              Definitely some of the best work posted here.
                              Great rendering and excellent modelling and depth of detail.

                              Look forward to seeing more πŸ‘

                                Wow thanks Dylan. That's praise indeed. 😳

                                I hope to post more in the next day or so. Just trying to get the lighting right on an interior.
