hi...
i've been experiencing a few problems lately ..with white specs showing up in the renders..
it seems to happen whenever i render views that features water....i use the vray water material(.vismat)...i have attached a couple of images to illustrate the problem..

could somebody help me on this one...please...
looking forward to your comments...
Thank you....

great looking renders......
could you post the link for uv ruby ??.....
would really appreciate it......

nice work.......

the colours are a bit too bright for my liking ...
but really impressive work

i've re-rendered the model adding a few more elements and as usual trying my hand at something new .....this time its clip mapping .....i saw tutorials about how to do it in podium and after days of searching , i finally found a tutorial for clip mapping in vray for SU........so i went ahead and added trees and those wild grass like plants in the planters ......quite happy with the results (notice the shadows).....although still struggling with the grass texture (it looks fake) ....anyone knows how to fix that..?.
and please let me know ..where can i find good grass textures?

i also added the garden units ...but the model isnt complete yet.....on more unit to go...and furniture
also need to add some landscape elements....actually still need to design the landscape...
and need to work on how make the finishes look better....

thanks guys .......let me know what you think.......

hi kenny......

yes....i did design the house...and it is going to be built just outside the city of panaji, goa , india...
the location itself is that of a town.....and there is a hill on the far side ....visible from the site...that makes for a great view...will upload pictures of the site surroundings later....and will also try to incorporate them in the final model....
thanks for your comments....and i will keep on updating things as they happen...

thanks for your comments jenujacob....
and ......yes, i am using vray for SU.....
will definitely hunt the web for textures and materials ......what is crazy bump??

Hi.....
I'm new to sketchucation......and what i've seen so far on this site has pretty much blown my mind......u guys are great...

After being an observer for a while i'm now inspired to try my hand at some rendering......this is my second post here....and only my first in the gallery section.....

Here are some basic renderings , straight from sketchup ( as you can see there has been no post production nor am i too good at rendering.......i've just started to render myself)....
This is a house for a young couple ...and the images are the initial design ( still under development) of the main house which is part of a larger campus which includes garden suites,etc.....

Like i mentioned earlier , i'm no good at this ......and i'm struggling to get the textures from the materials......like the roof tiles.., the paving stones ..., the stone masonry....and all this after using bump maps and displacement maps......All i could manage is the glass effect......

The materials that i have used are not from sketchup....but i imported these from images that i had with me.......

maybe i didn't get the bump or displacement right....

Can some one help me?....and please feel free to comment on any thing......help me improve....Thanks

hi everybody......i have recently tried to use hdri's for render my models in vray...however i face a similar problem in that i cannot control the size of the image.....for instance when i used an image of a city skyline as the background....it would blow out of proportion while rendering...and all i got was the sky and no city skyline....can someone help with this....how can i the back ground image to the right size and the right perpective angle??
i am very new to using hdri's .......so i dnt know much abuot them.....please help...

i tried out the things that u guys advised.....however i'm still not very clear about the whole thing....i am uploading the rendered images....u guys should be able to point out the mistakes i've made...
the background image is of a city skyline bt all we can see is the sky and not the city...
guys... please help...and how do you control the light quality...i jst cnt seem to gt the image proportions right....if u notice ..the background image and the models dont look part of the same environment.. why is that happening??
the images are low resolution...and the renderings aren't very good but you'll have to excuse me ....i've just started learning it and i really need some help...

thnks guys.... i seem to have got started....bt it'll take a while to get the hang of it....can u tl me wer i could find a tutorial on this??...it'll be really helpful...thanks again
