      It would be interesting to put a person in there somewhere to give it a sense of scale. How big are those panels?

      Good images tho πŸ‘

        Oh and if your after an easy to use rendering programme, you can't get much simpler than Podium which runs inside SU itself. http://www.suplugins.com

          Hi Maverick83

          You've done a first class work on yours pictures. Do you really need to render them
          they 're pretty perfect.

          I know how frustrating it is to get no back posts.

            Ma Γ¨ in Italia???

            Ben fatto, secondo me è meglio così che non "renderizzato".

              Hi kevsterman
              First of all, thanks for the compliments and for the rendering program tip.
              I've put a person in the middle of the scene so you can understand what a badass photovoltaic power plant it is. πŸ˜„

              Each photovoltaic module is 166,3 X 99,8 cm (65,5 X 39 in), so it's huge.

                  Hi Julius
                  Yes, it will be built (at least i strongly hope our client will accept our project) in Italy.
                  I'm glad you like it.
                  Ah yes, another thing: if you wanna a photovoltaic power plant please contact me πŸ˜„

                      I agree with plot-paris, very good choice of textures.
                      It is a very nice looking model you have created and quite different to what is normally shown here.

                      Nice work πŸ‘

                        You're gonna see a lot of photovoltaic power plants from now on in here πŸ˜„
                        What rendering program would you suggest me to start with? Maybe Podium?

                          i use kerkythea. but i think to start rendering also podium and indigo are good.

                          the thing i like about kerkythea is that is really powerful and it's free. podium is good, but i think the highest resolution for the free version is 500x500.

                            Is Kerkythea more complex than Podium?

                            btw 500x500... 😞

                              i think so, but i'm not sure since i've used podium only a few times. podium is a plugin for SU, while Kerkythea is a separate application.

                                Thanks for adding the person, Maverick. That really is going to be a beefy powerplant. I wish we could have plants like that over here in the UK. When I see all the huge expanses of wasted rooftops out there it just saddens me that we don't utilise them and help our environment.

                                I've only ever used Podium as a renderer so I can't comment on the others like Kerkythea but I've seen its output and they have been impressive. Altho the free version of Podium does have a limit to the resolution size, it isn't an expensive programme to buy and it is incredibly easy to use and learn. In my opinion it is well worth the money.
