That's it then. You're posting photos and trying to pass them off!

Peerless as always.

DO you just sit around thinking up ways to make me feel insignificant? I think it's about time you start making some tutorials and stop taunting us.

Look at the details of the cluttered rubbish along the road

You are really a master! Better then photography

John, please pass on to your buddies at ILM (or is it WETA?) that once again y'all have done a great job.

tadema

Thank you.
Bryan, there's plenty of people on here with lots more ability and experience than me, plus a lot of folk can't post their work because of commercial reasons.
Kris, I have a few tuts kicking about on here already.
ccs1987, that's pure PS
jo-ke, if you zoom in you'll see quite a few mistakes.
Daniel, now wouldn't that be great! getting paid to do this all day, a dream come true.

Thanks again
John

awesome... thanks John...

John, I dunno. Although I have fun modeling existing buildings in my spare time, I really love those rare chances when I get to model one of my own designs, and then see it through construction. I think modeling others' work everyday would lose it's appeal for me eventually.

Once again I am failing to find yet another way to say, "That is great!".

I think this is one of my favorites.

tadema

Thanks everyone.
Daniel, yes I agree but I'm in the very lucky position of being able to choose what to model. One day I would love to do something that was not constructed, just to see how close I was upon it's completion.
Thanks Eric, now I just need to use that scale tool the way you do
Jeff, I quite like this one, it's rare that I place all the vegetation into the model as here.

Maybe that's it. It looks "maintained" and lived in, a little dirt on the road, the difference in paving, an open window. I'm just waiting for a car to come around the corner.
