        Hope you keep us posted with updates mate!

        BTW can you get a bit more light out of the images straight from rendering?

            Richard I think your screen is wee dark πŸ˜„ . I was looking your very nice Maxwell render in the forum but to me looks brightness is bit too strong and not enough contrast. Saying that you are in sunny Ozz and I am in UK. πŸ˜‰
            The LightUp image will depend on HDR image you are using. The Second Podium I like the strong contrast. Mind you it maybe not be to everyone taste.

              Mate I think in part you are a bit right! I edited that on my Laptop and just cant seem to get the brightness to match my desktop monitor! Well I can get part of it to match but as soon as you lift or lower your eyeline it is either over or under exposed! Dam HP crap screens!!!

                    Man I'm impressed!

                    Question - in the last images is the HDRI the only lighting? Pretty good if it is!

                    Well done mate!

                      Thanks Richard. It is AO and HDR only lighting . I am very impressed with LightUp as well.Simple to setup and you can create animations, move in rendered environment in real time regardless how big is the SU file and also extract number of images. Here is just another image trying bumps and specular(Onyx tree). LightUp handles transparent .png well and no need for alpha to have correct shadows.

                              im guessing its hdr lighting again? i saw another image on lightup website that u made using hdr to the same scheme, beautiful. this is what podium is missing IMO.

                              very nice work btw, cant wait to see it with all the water and plants etc. have u tried using the animated textures to water?

                              do u mind sharing grass texture?

                                Thanks Oli. Yes it is HDRI lighting.I will play with water later on, once everything is in place. At moment the file is getting big and I am not sure if I am going to postprocess plants or have them rendered. πŸ˜‰ I can share the grass no probs...let me know how.

                                      say, care to share the skp of those lilly pads?
                                      I'm actually surprised at how nice LU looks... i still think i'll stick to podium or vray, but not bad.

                                        Pile footings for a residence? Very rare in my part of the world. Must have added substantial cost to the project.

                                        Opps, came here from the first post, didn't see the water:-)

                                          Troyhome I can't really share the water lilly model as that is part of the Solo pack which BTW is worth every penny purchasing.
                                          LightUp is quite easy to use and as I said elswhere the strength comes in real time performance and endless number of stills. I supose one needs more soft in arsenal for different tasks and yes Podium, LightUp and Vray are all in my arsenal.
