Podium exterior

Beautiful image, Tom.
FYI, the building is real. It is called the Delta Shelter, and was designed by Tom Kundig of Olson Kundig Architects, and has been published numerous times. http://www.olsonkundigarchitects.com/Projects/38/Delta-Shelter

Thanks for the link. I quite like that building -I'd not mind living there.
This picture is way prettier than my render:

Yeah I'm like Tom - having to learn new apps is a pain for one and then adding new steps to workflow is another! Personally I'd like to take out steps from workflow!
@Michalis - WOW mate, those Blender plants are THE BOMB! OMG! Start a thread in the corner bar, that's what it's for!
@Tom - BTW mate, just noticed the reflections on the upper story right facing windows seems weird when you should be seeing reflected sky from such a low placed camera.
I don't know if Podium supports Proxies, they help a bundle. These plants I created in SU although not high poly so I can spread them around, are still poly loaded enough to slow SU down if you turn their layer on before export. Proxies help by way of keeping one instance on a hidden layer and populating with a scaled proxy which then contributes very little load on SU!
These days with FIRE for real time material, camera and light tweaking I've just about done away with Photoshop post pro excepting for background replacement, CYMK conversion, and image resizing. And as the pluin developer is currently rewriting the plugin to support xrefing of high poly MXS files for SU proxies on export I'll also be done with Maxwell Studio. Meaning ALL work will be direct from SU with limited PS post pro!

Yeah.

There's some really big trees in that garden, Richard!

Nope. The app's pretty bare bones.

Great job. U can use Kerkythea xfrog trees library in Thea.
-
After find a way to use high poly plants and trees there's another challenge awaiting. How to figure out what plants and trees go together. When just throwing in a bunch of trees and plants won't make it look good. I'm always struggling with the way plants and trees grow and are arranged in an axterior scene. But I guess that it's just a case of studiyng the nature around you.

Or ... you could say "to hell with plants".
Indigo version:

A wonderful design Tom!
I never saw an indigo render that I didn't like. I admit this.
About the podium render. I still admire how you handled the reflections on windows. Well done. -

It isn't mine. I wish it was, though!

Indigo is very good. It's slow, as you'd expect, but it's lighting is superb.

Yep. Hi, Edson!
-
the indigo version is amazing! noooowww...let's see you replicate that in podium
you can do it. -
lol. As much as I like Podium, it isn't capable of doing this. Maybe someone who's an absolute genius at using Kray (the engine Podium uses) could pull it off, to some degree, but that someone surely isn't me. I would like to see whether I can do this with Vray, though.
-
First Vray version. Everything needs more work, but it's a decent start, I think.
-
Second version.
-
Yeah Tom I'm all up for the last few in preference!!!!!!
Not only do your works there look brilliant (well done mate) but this style is "Show All"! Nothing is padded with the excesses and trickery - just the built for displaying it's attributes.
ALL RENDERS OF ARCHITECTURE SHOULD BE LIKE THIS! (yep yelling!).
-
Thanks, Richard. Er, don't you always yell?
