Too Quiet...
-
It's been a bit too quiet here at the new forums so I thought I'd do my part and post something, anything...
This was pure SketchUp output run through a sharpening filter and one that added the canvas texture. So other than that it's still pretty pure.
The sky clouds were a alpha-transparent png right in the model.Regards, Ross

Ross, thats a wonderful image, so clean and sharp, with a great texture....very nice.
-
good work, ross. and good idea to get things moving. i think the mods have been busy moving and most members have not digested the move yet. but we will get back to normal soon.
cheers.

Thanks Guys.
In looking at the image I see an old tip well worth remembering. It has to do with the grass and the topography. The tip is: Having modeled three-dimensional topography it can be visually helpful using a texture that has a grid pattern incorporated in it. That grid will give strong visual clues about the topography. Without such a grid all your efforts modelling that topography can be fruitless as most textures will make it all look flat. The golf fairway grass may not look realistic (unless you are doing a golf course) but it does greatly help viewers see the terrain you want them to see...

Thanks for the great tip Ross

That looks great, Ross. The grass texture reminded me of the patterns on newly mowed lawns.

You know, you're right - at first I wasn't sure that the patterned grass works but looking again it help bring out the sloping ground. Nice work.

I'm Busy making a living...err well here are a few examples of what I'm up too lately.
-
phil,
teasing pictures... could we have more on the house?
-
Phil, I love the house. You should've made your own post. Anyways, the sky doesn't seem to fit w/ the house and light settings IMO. Other than that, looks great!
-
The house was designed by another designer/developer and he brought me on board to do the 3d model/illustration. As usual the design needed to be refined and consideration for the actual site need to be given to the design. Yea I should have started a new thread but this was just a response to the Too Quiet topic.
I've found that my available time for forums and extra curricular activities is very little.
The sky was just to add drama to the image I'm not skilled enough to make the shadows and the sky correspond to each other.
OK so I'll bow out from discussing my images and start a new thread.
Thanks Ross for letting me divert your topic for a moment.
Now I'll be quiet again.
Err but not for too long.
-
I'm glad you did post here Phil. Both your images are very inspiring. My nine-year-old thought the stadium is really cool. I agree. In your house image it appears to have exagerated perspective distortion. Was that just a graphic choice to add drama or do the walls flair?
Regards, Ross
-
no flaired walls just a camera perspective thing.
-
Your works are good! keep it up!
where did you get the human, did you make them yours.
-
Great images, Phil. I agree with Edson...more, please.
