Had the chance to make more...

This is rather an old model... Yet I liked the result.

More and behind the scene images

@L-i-am ok, great.
Just modeled it for you
Please let me know if it needs modifications.

@pixelcruncher My pleasure to have my hands on such a charming piece of software. Considering my laptop is rather old, not supporting recent graphic cards and all the computation is done by the processor.
Here are more tries to discover the "coating" layer .

@L-i-am in all of the designs the concept has been to be in harmony with the context. Pebbles, Branches and river, flatness, etc...

I already have shared a few watercolor videos on youtube and I hope you find them handy. Here is one of them ( mute the sound plz):

@Mike-Amos This is the fine potential of RayScaper...only 7 percent of total progress...

Last one and a half months I have been busy applying and constantly job hunting living in Solln, Munich. Today I spared some time to make this.

@pixelcruncher it seems that the HDRI image is also pixly, so maybe adding an "upscaling" option to make low-res images, smooth, would be nicen

I spent some time finalizing and publishing a new short Skillshare course. This is after grand masters; James Fletcher-Watson and Edward Seago. I have tried to simplify and describe everything in detail:

@jscottsmith Very informative.
Do you use Blender3D for modeling?

Thanks, mates and dear Bep for sharing your thoughts and the link to the city archive. Amsterdam is an astounding miniature of sheer beauty and a lovely city full of architectural details to be discovered over a lifetime.
This is great I will benefit and I used to see some amazing drawings from the archive.
The postcards are not meant to be artistic or documentary. They are for a very helpful friend of mine who sells them to the city visitors ( https://www.fineartprints.nl/?srsltid=AfmBOorfvXMCOuFizu2hSoBIPPQRZ4jHzoSUkftRSBaOHGgtffN-DK4P). So I have to make them cheap in less time...Also some repetitive elements such as goblestones, canals, bridges, a bicycle, city lamps and boats must be included and all in all not bigger than A5 paper size, mainly A6!
I have to make many and not two the same... By the way an enjoyable thing to do.

@ntxdave ah, thanks mate for your warm welcome. I have been dead busy doing jobs, not having the chance to meet you here (virtually)

Had the chance to make more...

Ah mates.
It has been a while since I have been here last time and seems much has happened. Thank you all for sharing your (AI generated) renders and ideas.
I used to roam here and linger from time to time. Sketchucation is my second home in fact, although recently I have been dead busy and on the other hand the internet is not stable enough to reach here.
In the last few hours of NASA Moon to Mars challenge, I wrapped up two ideas and submitted them. All in all, I had only 5 hours to do it. I wish I hit google earlier and had more time,
This is sort of off-topic, yet it is worth sharing. (from my Skybound Structures book sketches)

@pixelcruncher My pleasure to do that. I guess it works for beginners to get familiar with the interface and materials and those who are specially into product rendering.

I had the chance to prepare a video on utilizing Rayscaper in product (car) rendering.

Here is the link to it, Happy Rayscapering!:

@Mike-Amos Maybe they are using AI to study human behavior regarding making money for themselves. I used to use the free plan.
