      Just the first render of a proposed childrens centre/nursery - the design isn't finished yet, so it's subject to change.Initial Render copy.jpg

      Modelled in Sketchup, rendered in Kerkythea. Just an interesting note, every blade of grass is physical (no textures mapped onto planes), resulting in a 47 million polygon render!

      Constructive criticism welcome!

          Nice exterior rendering. Have you done any plan renderings flat or 3D that you could share?

            Very nice, Macker. Especially like the weathered stucco finish. I would want to see some children at a children's center, though.

              Slight update (mostly landscaping - decided to re-model the grass & add some daisies!)...Initial Render 02 copysmall.jpg

              Re-modelling the grass has bumped up the poly count a little though!

              As for other renderings, I've not done any yet (seems pointless as the design isn't finished), and the 2D plans are currently only sketches.

              @Daniel - I'd love to add some human life to the image, but I don't have any high resolution people that would work in the scene, and find that people that are photoshopped in after tend to look out of place.

              Just thought i'd add a closeup of the grass:

                how come u modeled all that grass? surely you could use clipmaps and textures to a more convincing effect? The close up looks v good, but i cant see why you modeled it all when its not the focus of the image.......

                  I could use clipmaps and textures, certainly; and I have done many times in the past...

                  But to give a more convincing effect? Definately not.

                  As for modelling all the grass, I modelled 3 blades, and scattered them over a 250mm plane in sketchup using the "component spray" ruby, creating a circular pattern of a hundred or so blades of grass. I then instanced this a few thousand times in Kerkythea - a very simple process really.

                    fair does, I mean the close up is v convincing but not the images with the building in, i think it may just be the edge where the grass hits the asphalt.....but maybe im wrong!

                      Yeah, that's down to laziness on my part - I do have a method that I usually use when it comes to that, but didn't this time round.

                        Just me buggering around... Absolutely no relevance to the project at all, just thought it'd look cool!
