      very very impressive!! what a huge project to undertake, but definitely worth it! I would definitely recommend texturing it, would turn it into a killer project!

      Can i ask about the stats? hoy many edges etc, did Sketchup handle it ok?

      PS. nice touch with the sketchup fog 😉

            Thanks all! Jopsa, I'd love to texture it, but I would need a renderer that does procedurals (actually I have one, Vray, but it is unable to render models this large 😞). I think I'll be experimenting in Photoshop instead. Best of all would be to export this to Vue, as someone else suggested, but on my system that is definitely out of the question... (and like SU, Vue is very good at handling its own native format, but not so good at handling imported geometry).

            As for stats:
            3,446,304 edges
            1,527,138 faces
            6,682 component instances
            3,832 groups

            I am on a P4, 2,13 Ghz dual core Vista PC, with 4 GB of RAM and a 'Loser Edition' nVidia card that I will be replacing one of these days... (it messes up shadows completely). The model was finished in SU 7, and SU can handle it without any problem at all; only, when orbiting, components and groups go into box mode. I had several crashes, however, when trying to export large bitmaps.

            PS, Jopsa: I found your Pantheon greatly inspiring, it seems to me that operates at an even higher level of detail!

              Here's another render. I love this feature of iRender, it actually does true orthogonal renders.

                Well done! I'm truly impressed. That's a lot of work you've done there.
                Do you have an example of the drawings you worked from?, I'd love to see what type of info you had.

                  Fantastic work...Reminds me of a castle out of "The Tudors"...If you want a render done in Vue I'd be happy to do one for you... 👍

                    I put a link to this thread on the Render Plus Blog.

                      This is phenomenal work. I live about an hour from Castle Howard so have visited a few times. Wish I'd thought about doing an SU model!

                        I am truely amazed - I'd like to say this is a stunning piece of work but it simply wouldn't do justice to the care and the sheer dedication gone into this.

                              Phenomenal work! I'm picturing this with some dirt maps applied, better glass and an ambient occlusion overlay. It wouldn't be too hard to take this to photo quality that would fool most anyone. Great job on the mode 👍 ling!!!!

                                    Now you can make a 3D printing 😉
                                    But piece by piece ☀
                                    like this one 'Tuileries : Louvres' behind the guy
                                    in fact all is not 3D printing because will be to expensive but one piece then copy in traditional (silicon muld)

                                      Tempting thought Pilou... only, where will I put it...?

                                      Adam, I need to get into the iRender material editor more; I barely scratched the surface. But bitmap textures are basically useless, except for detail views; on the large scale patterning will occur. As for the glass, suggestions are welcme! I'm not satisfied with the metal ornaments either.

                                      As far as I've been able to see iRender unfortunately doesn't do AO. I'm still hoping ASGVIS will finally come up with a decent patch for their new, incredibly buggy Vray, which has been sitting on my PC unused for over a month now because it crashes every time I try to render this model. I would be very curious to see what VRAY makes of this!

                                          This is a perfect example of a highly detailed model and taking the time to get things right and not rushing things through only to post your work. The attention to detail is fantastic to say the least.

                                            Martin,

                                            I run out of superlatives.
