      Hey Richard.

      No problem, i dont see it as a rant at all. I think its just a matter of personal preference. I usually give my clients the options to choose more of a straight out of the box maxwell image or one that I enhance though glow and other techniques. Its at least 90% of the time the clients pick the enhanced look.

      And personally, i think if everyone just clicked render and maxwell did all the work, more and more renderings would look the same and that looses the artistry of the whole process. I also use Revit and now with its built in rendering engine, I can easily spot a revit rendering as everyone goes about the same process and the rendering settings are almost automatic. While they look ok, I will always bring them into Photoshop to give them my own artistic flair.

      Thanks!

            Stunning work... πŸ‘
            I can only imagine that apart from the render process, you've also gone through a lot post pro with most of these...

            Cheers

                      my reason for postprocessing Maxwell images is that it safes rendertime. Without having to fully let Maxwell clean the images I filter the images as such that they look pleasing. It saves me hours of rendertimes and allows me to work with rendered images at SL10 or even less.

                      I wonder though if Revit does more or less as well as the combination SU/Maxwell in terms of moddeling speed and renderquality en maybe ease of use.

                      Compliments on your images btw. They look certainly professsional. I am always amaized to see my clients not at all concerned about the quality of textures or blurryness. All they go for is atmosphere and the vision of a future building at a certain site. They go from blindness to a sudden image of a completed projected. Only long after that first impression they will start looking for qualities of the images themselves.
                      Architects do not sell an image, its the build results that count. Most clients look at images and imagine buildings the architects has shown them in real before. If Richard Meier would propose all colored buildings in his images I think most clients would still expect the actual build projects to come out white .. πŸ˜„

                          Hey, nice one! Where can you download it? I REALLY want it!!! GREAT WORK!!!!

                          I'm a Sketchup Free user, nothing else. 3DS is way too expensive, and Pro, ditto. What else do you expect?

                          UPDATE: I have some blender knowledge, that is why this signature is edited.
