              Hi

              I was a "Sketchup addict", now I'm a blender (2.5) user ☀

              Blender is simply powerful.

              cheers

                You can also select "turntable" style rotation in the preferences menu, along with other selection and pan/orbit/etc. changes. Also, you can change it to LMB select rather than the RMB select. It's a nuisance moving from SU to Blender, for me anyway, to have to remember the difference.

                Don't forget that Blender has some great free render software too. Luxrender, Yafaray, POV, and others, though they are not working in 2.5 or 64 bit Blender yet. I just do my modeling in 2.5 and then export to 2.49 for rendering.

                  Yes, Yafaray is very cool, Lux render a little bit more difficult to master and blender internal render is great too.

                                That I remember of the interest of internal Blender render engine for owner as me of very old computer(more 8 years old) is that 😄
                                SU pluging render = 3 minutes
                                Blender render = 7 seconds! 😉

                                  Nice work there REGIS and Pilou! The house looked very nice, maybe add some depth of field or something 😄

                                  As for the lighthouse, very artistic. But not realistic, but I don't think that's what you were aiming for, so good job as well!

                                    Hi

                                    @ ~GoldenFrog®~

                                    Thanks !
                                    Glad you liked it 😄

                                    You're right, it's more artistic render than photo realistic render ! Some details are missing here and there and I think I've lot of things to learn to get nice photorealistic result too but I'm happy with this render.

                                    This one is my first architectural project done in Blender.
                                    It do the job nicely, at the same time, it's a real project that started about two months ago and I'm dealing with the Kitchen now.

                                    Perhaps I go with Yafaray for interior render.

                                    Let's see

                                    Cheers

                                      Hey REGIS, might wanna check out Blenderguru. He has a tutorial for realistic kitchens. Link: http://www.blenderguru.com/create-a-realistic-kitchen-part-1-of-2/ This is part one of two, the second part deals with rendering.

                                        Indeed, I know Blenderguru's tutorials. ☀

                                        I'm dealing with designing the kitchen, modeling is not so difficult.

                                        Cheers

                                            Hey m' mate! Very very nice render. I like it a lot. Nice work, I like the material settings you have there. Possibly make the sim higher res (Not the picture size, but the fluid res) because I can see the polygons 😄 Nice work again though 😄
