      Hey guys, y'all are pretty bored of my Vue renders by now πŸ˜‰ , but I won't let that stop me.
      I'm building content at the moment as well as materials and a kick ass tutorial that if I include all I've learned may as well be a book or DVD.
      All this between real paying work which thanks to the reccession has afforded me lots of time to concentrate on my Vue work (sarcasm).

      Anyway I will add to these when I get any post worthy renders.

              They are all just amazing to me, but the street scene I find incredible. It should be in a frame on a wall!

                Beautiful images Solo.
                I love the soft shadow in the first pic. Is that raw vue output?

                      Pete,

                      I'm excited about the tutorials. Are you talking about Vue tutorials? If so, how much longer are we to wait? I desperately need to understand how to better take my SU models into Vue and render. Your work is top notch as always πŸ‘ .

                          I always enjoy seeing your renders because, unlike the vast majority of professional-class renders, yours have an element of art to them instead of making ultimate photo-realism the only goal. So keep them coming!

                          Trying to find anything less than perfect in these two renders is a bit of a task, but it might be possible to improve a few things: the corbels could be roughed up a bit (they look like smooth plaster against all the concrete); the palm tree is gratuitous (a single, off-centre tree in that environment is extremely unlikely and is not necessary to create an "exotic" feel; the entire environment already does that); and the texture you used for the pavers in the foreground looks a little low-res and might benefit from some bump (or more likely: detail has been lost in resizing the image for posting here...).

                            hats off to you, Solo... I have literally a thousand hours of experience in Vue (half of those waiting for it to re-start after a crash... probably a compatibility error with my vid card but was never nailed down)... I really like the lighting in the first image.

                              What I like: Beautiful renders as always. The street scene especially is fantastic. Here we have a battle, two armies. Simple and great.
                              what I don't like: these street lights, this very well known model. You need something more detailed here pete.

                                you are taming really this VUE engine Pete... I have seen a lot of your beautiful renders.. and i must say that these are one of your best.. the contrast, the play of lights, the unity of the composition. just one thing, i think the grooves of those tiles in the first two images are a bit big. overall bravo amigo...

                                    Listen pete. There isn't any color profile assigned in your images. So they look somehow grey in my monitor, until I changed system color profile to sRGB. So everybody, when posting, please assign a common color profile like sRGB. (convert to profile in photoshop or gimp). If you don't and if using XP, then vista or OSX users should turn their color management to sRGB.
                                    Now in (sRGB), these renders look 30% better. I like your work 15% more and Vue 60% more. lol
                                    BTW I use an expensive 24 monitor, well calibrated, (in DTP business for years).

                                      Wow, just followed your advice,(imac 24") and what a difference in Solo's renderings. Gives them a great deal more realistic depth.
                                      Perhaps you could start a thread on monitor calibration. for Mac users the path to change to RGB is; apple menu/system preferences/displays/color, then choose your RGB Profile

                                        Strange, I just checked these images on my Imac and on a Mac-book and the colors seem fine, are any of my other renders displaying wrong too?

                                        I am working on a 64bit Vista Ultimate machine and my monitors are all LCD's calibrated with a screen spyder2, so maybe I'm missing something or I did something in post edit to screw with the colors, I recently sent some images to the printers for 6x4 ft site signage and they never said anything (but then again they are probably used to these issues and correct them automatically)

                                        I would hate to be posting anything if they look wrong, good find Michalis and thanks for the heads up even if I cannot figure this out on my side.

                                          michalis you are right. im on imac 24" and i was using standard imac colour profile. I changed to sRGB and renders appeared to have more depth. It seems there is more blue and contrast.

                                          My renders look better too in this colour profile, although like i said more blue and cold.

                                          So what is the best profile to use? Standard colour profile seems to print off correctly.......what do u suggest?

                                            Well because you can witness the change when you actually change the settings, if you have the renderings up on the screen, you can see the change is quite pronounced. I thought maybe I could capture the difference on a screenshot, but neither a png or a jpeg does the difference any justice. olishea has described it quite well it has a blueness to it which is not overpowering, but give nice depth details.
