Hey ken28875, your work here is excellent. I just tried to help, I didn't mean that you should be precise or something. Its just the mud you see...

@ EscapeArtist: LOL...you're right, Sang should wear a wizard's cloak. I just used it for scale as I did not have the time to bring in my own characters.

@ d12dozr: Thanks, Marcus. I am glad you like it.

@ michaliszissiou: No worries, Michalis. Thanks for your comment.

@ liam887: I use Vray for Sketchup. Vray is probably one of the best rendering engines out there.

@ orgel: Merci, Jean-Pierre. I just checked your website. You do have some quite interesting projects.

Here are some more renders of the interiors of that temple. These are work in progress.

Have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping by.

Hi Liam,

Good find. I will certainly try to do something if time allows. I've been quite busy the past couple months.

After finishing the car models for the Syd Mead/Nvidia competition, I have been working on some personal projects like the interior of that temple. It happens that there is a Vray for Sketchup contest ending September 30. I will enter a couple of renders.

I am almost done with this one but still have stuff to fix.

Simultaneously, I am working on another personal project that I might enter for the Vray contest too.

Here are some WIP.

I have started to put textures. Will post some more images soon.

I really want to do the EVE contest. The prizes are really sweet!

I don't know how I will survive the month of September...I might die due lack of sleep. LOL

Good luck to you, Liam.

Have a great day!

Freakin amazing!

davesec

are you still using vray for renders?

i know you're busy but if you ever have time to make any tutorials i'm sure a lot of us would appreciate it!

ken28875

Thanks for your comments, Michalis, Jarynzlesa, Oliver, Liam, Roberto, and Jhuman.

@ davesec: yes, I am using Vray. Tutorials?...honestly, I am a beginner at Vray. I am just using simple lights and changing their colors and intensity. It's a trial and error by making tons of renders till i get the result i want. It's quite time consuming.

If you want to learn Vray, I would suggest to visit the Vray forum:

Here's the latest WIP.

Have a wonderful weekend!
