liam887

this is some good work what are you using form the clay renders? Im trying to get my avatar helicopter rendered the exact same way as your catapult my PC is down so no max for the foreseeable future and cant seem to bootcamp it so hopefully this render your using is Mac friendly?

Pilou: Merci, je suis content que tu as aime.

Liam: I used Podium. That was one of their first version back in 2007 I believe. Although I am into Vray for Sketchup now, I really like Podium due to its awesome radiosity. I think it's available for Mac but not sure. check out their website for more info.

Jeff: Thank you, I am glad you like my stuff.

Take care,

Dolf: Glad you like my fantasy and sci-fi threads. I will try to post some new images whenever I have time. Thank you.

Roberto/Artysmedia: Anytime...bring you castle in the sky with the planes to fight my catapults!

Anyway, here are some concepts for basement of the Coliseum. In case you wonder, it is not oval, indeed. The reason is that it is easier for modelers to build it with a perfect circle. But I kept the architecture of the interiors as close as I can to the real building if I have reference images, if not i came up with my own interpretation.

Have a nice day!

Hey guys,

So I have been digging into my files from GnH Concept and Visual Developments and will be posting some each day or every other day, when I have time.

Here are some concepts for bridges

Have a great weekend!

A few props. As usual, modeled in sketchup with texturing in Photoshop.

Have a great week, everyone.
