      I was just joking about the step at the top down to the ground.

      I like to use the clay render to get soft shadows. Sometimes I will make clay renders when there are lights included such as in this image.

      The materials such as they are come entirely from an image export direct from SU.

      I'm just not that interested in trying to make my models look like photographs.

      Your point about copyrights and so on is well taken. I purposely limit the amount of info I provide in proposals expecting the client will probably shop the design around. I don't mind the competition but I don't feel the need to do all the work for the competitor.

        Wheelchair ramp to nowhere, a ramp for paraplegic lemmings perhaps.

          Oh I see 🤣

          Yep I see what you mean, make a sketch and someone else comes along and says I can do it for 10% cheaper- job gone.

            Yep you go up the ramp as fast as you can and straight into a swimming pool 😆

            I was thinking about modeling the house from Google street view and king of lowering its opacity so that the ramp stood out more than the house but like Dave says you can go too far with the drawing especially when you don't get the job.

              Actually, for something like your ramp I might have modeled a bit of the house for context. No textures and probably a different line style for those edges but that would help to make the size of the ramp understandable.

              Oh well, on to the next project for you now.
