LOL - Thanks Rich! I was wondering if I wasn't welcome when it wouldn't let me log in from a thread...went to the main page and it was happy with me.

Really great! I wish I had the talent/skill to do stuff like this.

How long does it take to draw models like this and what tools/plugins do you use?

It's a constant tweaking for 2-3 months for most of these. We typically meet with the client every 2 weeks during Schematics and update the exterior/interior model as we go. I use the royal we, but I'm doing the SketchUp and presentations.
I've been taking on more and more responsibilities over the design direction with each project.

I've been using minimal plugins, but Windowizer gets reinstalled with every upgrade. I rely on that heavily for quick designwork.
Was an early adopter of Lumion starting at Lumion v1..we still carry a copy of that. I utilize Thea Render when I want really good looking stills and know we aren't going to do a fly around. I finally caved in and started to use Enscape on these last few projects because another Architect we were working with wanted to match interior/exterior feel.

We finally opened the building at the end of March!

[Rich O Brien]

Lovely! Can't wait for the invite and the free bar!

[marvins_dad]

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich! LOL - they had a free "Taco Bar" at the ribbon cutting, does that count?

[marvins_dad]

We also opened Celina Police - from the project I posted images of before the Fort Worth Project...

A look at the clerestory...

[Rich O Brien]

What a nice place to get a mugshot!

I saw your other vray query. I recently did some stuff for a glass shade company and it brought up a somewhat related issue.

It was something I never considered before. But when you stack dielectrics of differing IOR values you should use relative IOR values. Not sure how Vray calculates IORs but I presume out of the box it is absolute IOR values.

But for pure physical correctness the light passing through a glass pane then a film would be a stacked dielectric. So the IOR value for the film would need to be corrected to give a truly accurate result.

Or you could just bodge it.
