...to turn that out so quickly... did they search him for matches ???
(sorry to go off topic momentarily...) Thanks for the bit of history TIG! 
I love this stuff.No, I'm actually positive there were several plans already laid for London before the burning. Most large cities have master plans, even at that time, city planning was a big deal. But that his was chosen over others, there's something to ponder... doubtless much politics involved... same deal now... just look at politics around 1 World Trade today

An amazing piece of work. A wonderful example of what can be achieved with research, diligence and just plain "work a bit at it every day" kind of work. Very nice!
Cheers!

By the way
I do not have any comment until I would say my comment
This design is wonderful
I have two questions
How many years you had worked on this design?
What is the program that you used in Render? -
your questions are answered in his first post.

IRender nXt and nXtRender are two versions of the nXt rendering engine integrated into SketchUp. take a look at: IRender nXt
Al Hart
IRender nXt from Render Plus -
I've been experimenting a bit with field of view, and played around in Photoshop with the result. I need to do something about the glass material, it doesn't look very good...
-
A grand project! Last render needs environmental reflections for windows and a perspective control lens (shift). Also perhaps instanced grass and displaced gravel. DOF feels a bit unnatural, is that post pro?
-
Just.. Awesome. I hadn't seen this thread!!
-
Very impressive. Awesome attention to detail!
I was just curious about those textures on the walls to the left in the last pic?
Does iRender have turbidity as a variable? It would really give your work a feel of distance.
-
Hi Cyberdactyl, no, unfortunately iRender doesn't do turbidity (yet?). Their image editor offers haze as a post-render processing option, but that didn't do much for this model. And the texture, well, it's a lame attempt at dirtmapping done in Photoshop... I would need procedurals to do it inside the render application, another option iRender doesn't have. I am so hoping some day the Vray people will finally fix their awful latest release, which is unable to render a model this size, and which has been sitting around uselessly on my PC ever since I, misguidedly, bought it...
-
This great model needs Vue, well done mate.
-
wow that´s so amazing. i Love it the model is so well done
even without shaders it looks amazing, excellent job.
a bit of work with the landscape would be the cherry on the cake.
Congratulations!!! -

Hi Martin which version of IRender as you using as IRender nXt has procedural bump maps, and auto texture bumpshttp://wiki.renderplus.com/index.php?title=Procedural_Bump_Maps, the cheaper trimmed down version nXtRender does not.

This is amazing, i love it!
-
Just seen this and it is AMAZING! I live in the centre of York and have been many times, your model has made me want to go! Inspirational stuff. Makes me feel very humble!
-
You are my idol MartinPh!
I would like to know more about how you did the details.
-
great job mate,,,,well done,,,what rendering engine did you use?
Ta -
Absolute fantastic job. Hope to see more renders. Cheers.
-
please! Can you send model Castle Howard to me?
-
Thanks for bumping this with your blunt request! Somehow I never saw it before
"It's been a while since I first thought that SU would be an ideal means of creating a 3d vision of Vanbrughs original plan. "
You proved correct,Martin.
