      Thanks guys,but kudos has to go to "Atlantic City Midmer-Losh Fan" on 3d warehouse who did the cinema model,I did the easy part!

      Attached are 2 more NPR images of the same view taken from the top end of the street,Again,the buildings were all sourced on 3D warehouse.

      Like the previous images,these were done using relight in Thea render.
      They were rendered out at 2400 pixels wide and reduced to 1600 for this forum.(view 05 is a cropped version of a much larger image showing the detail)

        Don't worry about using Warehouse stuff, i use it to keep my hand in during lean modelling times. sometimes you can spend ages sorting ware house model. The renders look great! πŸ˜„

                  Excellent job, just the ghost looking buildings in the background look a bit weird in the first images. Can the thea objects be converted to use as maxwell proxies ?

                    this is great!

                    but if i may point out 2 things that would make it even better:

                    1. no street lamps; by 1930s all these busy streets had street lights

                    2. cars in the middle of the street with no drivers; maybe darken and add some reflection to the windshields, so that you cant see that there is no driver

                    but those are just "moddel" issues... the rendering and post-processing are very good

                      Beautiful renderings, sir. A theatre would not have trees in front of it, though, as they block the marquee. Not only from a visibility standpoint, but for changing the letters on it.

                      My avatar is an anachronism.

                        You are right about the trees,but I wanted to bring in some natural elements to the images.

                        I have attached a recent Thea render of the street without artistic impression,although the foreground planting is post processed in photoshop.

                            Attached are 3 images from the same main street but from a modern, more cynical point of view.
                            Like before all models for the buildings are from 3D warehouse and the cars are Dosch cars.
                            I think the tarmac area is too wide, maybe it needs something running along the diagonal but I wanted to get as much reflections as possible.

                              One more with added glow to the lights to help accentuate the damp wet evening mood.

                                      The wet asphalt is a Thea Render material available at :http://www.thearender.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=92&t=5263&hilit=wet+asphalt

                                      I use it a lot particularly in my night renders

                                        There's something a little bit "Edward Hopper" about these images, some sort of suspense. I love them! πŸ‘

                                          I really, really love Hopper and what I get from him is a perfect stilness.

                                          I actually had some low polygon people in my Thea set ups but forgot to turn the layers on.
                                          When I did,the images became something else,so even though the cars are there,I much prefer the sense of stillness but without human interaction,if that makes sense.

                                            Great stuff, Hopper is one of my favourites. Yes I agree, a perfect stillness but with undertones of something imminent.

                                            I think the people would have made it more arch-viz instead of impressionistic. I really love what you've done. πŸ‘ Keep it up David! πŸ˜„
