Kitchen
-
A kitchen remodel I designed and slapped together this morning and rendered in D5 Render. As usual with architecture this isn't a final design. Just practice.

Dog isn't floating this time. Got the god light going.

I like the last one the most. The bit and pieces around the kitchen are great. Maybe a small bit of regularity to the plate stack.
Are you considering shelving Thea?
-
Rich, the plates can't budge since it's from their library and I don't know how to edit those. I was thinking about random placement of plates however. Obviously it's a simple fix.
I knew Thea might come up. I'll keep using Thea since it's a different kind of renderer. It has a lot of fine details you can't get in D5 Render and I like the materials editor and how it works with Skatter. I also feel kind of loyal to the original creator. However, they really need to do something about displacement that doesn't require triangulation or dividing surfaces and even then it doesn't work very well.

How do you do that. I use Twilight Render which I think is based on Thea and probably has a material editor that is much like I (do no know that for sure).

Twilight doesn't work with Skatter proxies. Don't remember if I tested it with non proxies but I can imagine the geometry would be overwhelming.

Yes, I use the proxies all of the time.

Designed another layout for the kitchen and added more bells and whistles. I rendered this at 8K. It really doesn't take very long.
This is a cropped portion of the original 8K rendering which was a png output.
-
These look really good to me.

@Gus R, I just copied this info about the Skatter plugin:
Combine Skatter with Other Plugins
The Skatter Plugin is compatible with many other Sketchup plugins, including V-Ray, Thea Render, and Twilight Render. By combining Skatter with these plugins, you can create even more realistic and stunning landscapes.I like the fact that this allows you to use proxies so that it does not bring SU to its knees.

The last ones are a vast improvement
Interiors are a whole new ball game 
I find a white ceiling gives light a whole lot more bounce. That is why ceiling's in the real world are almost always white. -
I can't stop!
-
This last one is kind of blurry IMO on my iPad.
-
It's the depth of field. Only the range is focused.
-
Gotcha!
-
Really like that last image with D.O.F.
-
Magic, my use of language is challenged to come up with more than that and wow.
