@Gus-R Dark mode would be nice too.

EMD SD45 - Union Pacific
Here's the latest. Still a WIP but I'm getting close to finishing. This is modeled with SU 2022 Pro and rendered in D5 Render.

RE: Bremer bay house render
Looks great, L i am. I seem to be doing a lot of free renderings as well lately. Mostly for practice. Sometimes I show it to the architect I do drafting for and doesn't go further than that. I guess after outsourcing we're all just waiting for AI to take over the universe. IMO most of the AI "art" I've seen looks like an illustration for the cover of a supermarket romance novel.

Another House in D5
Originally modeled for a NPR render in 2011 for Chalet Colorado. I reworked the model and rendered it here in D5 Render.
This was the original render generated in SU with some Photoshop work.

Brick - Seamless Textures/Material
For several years I was using Acme Brick's texture program but that required manually creating a seamless texture by changing a few brick modules. I discovered that it's been updated to an online seamless textures generator which works really well almost instantly.
You find that here: Masonry Designer | brick.com
The seamless textures can be generated under Save: Seamless Tile. The rest is self explanatory.

Looks nice,
I am interested to know what parts are done inside Sketchuo, Are IVYs part of the Sketchup model?Thanks Majid. This is the extent of all the Sketchup work. The rest is D5 Render assets. The vines are also from D5 with their recent addition of vine procedurals. The arched brick is done first with Curviloft and I settled on using Quadface Tools for mapping.

RE: SketchUp native graphic style
It was created by Justin Horstmann. It's native Sketchup but I don't know about the shadows. You could try shooting him an email. Lots of neat stuff at his website.
If you're wondering about how I found that I just did a screenshot of one of your screenshots and did a reverse image search in Google Images.

@Rich-O-Brien It says I need a reputation of 20 to downvote.

@Gus-R Love the variation in the in textures. Grimy and dirty but no noticeable repetition.
Incredible detail too!
What's the file size? Would love to see some raw SU with wires to really appreciate the modelling.
Thanks Rich. It's 29 MB right now.
I get a little carried away with my line segments even though it slows me down sometimes. I manage it with scenes like turning of the trucks.
The weathering is by adding a material to the AO layer using images from a package called DGruwier Surface Imperfections - Volume 1 from Gumroad. It's pretty handy and works with D5 Render and Thea Render.

Fredo Thurpaint License
Is Thrupaint payware now? Looks like I need a license for 20 bucks.

RE: Denver Architecture
@Rich-O-Brien It's a ray tracing engine. Usually takes about 5 to 15 minutes to render depending on output size.

RE: Denver Architecture
@Rich-O-Brien I can soften the shadows but it winds up muddling the foreground tree shadows on the porch walk and sidewalk. If I increase the softening it completely wipes out and tree form. This is D5 Render and not Twinmotion.
Architectural visualization went from mid 20th century depictions utilizing pencil on paper; pencil and watercolor; colored pencil; watercolors; etc. Many of which depicted shadows with hard lines.
Today there's an expectation of total realism and a sort of uniformity in rendering styles. Many would argue that as realism in architectural visualization increased such as photo real renderings, the quality or beauty in architecture has declined. The same is true with music and automation and re-processing in music studios.
Whether it's rendering or drafting, much of architecture involves a lot of tedium.

Nice work Gus
By outsourcing do you mean overseas cheap work?
Thanks. Yeah. They want to pay $300 for something like this and they can probably get something like this for even less from southeast Asia. Doesn't seem like many people even want renderings anymore. If it's not done in-house. Now with AI it won't be long before even the work in outsourcing countries dries up. Maybe if I move to Vietnam I can just charge $300 while collecting Social Security and live it up.

Denver Architecture
Some recent exterior renderings using D5 2.8. Won't be a paying job because of outsourcing. Nothing fancy in the modeling. Using D5's new scatter feature. Windows and doors are Flex Tools except for the front door which I did a few years ago.

RE: areal rebuild
@jo-ke said in areal rebuild:
@HornOxx this is a special workflow, there is an app, called RenderDoc, which is able to download geometrie of Googlemaps to your Sketchupfile. The quailty is bad, but for objects in distance it is great. I just modelled the buildings in the foreground.
I think this picture explains the geometrie:
Do you import into Blender and export to a DAE?
