Great Stuff Tom!
How about a mix between the 2nd and 3rd set, The 3rd is just a little bland imo. The 2nd has much more "life" to it. I am not distracted by the chairs and other little things in your images - actually they keep me engaged and looking deeper into the piece. For this reason I always think of your images more as "art" than I do a rendering!

Modelhead,
Nice to see some of your work again. Based on your laundry room image - your customer obviously has some cash to spend. I just priced a deck project that came in @ more than 2.5x the cost of treated lumber for Trex. Nice product though, and I like the concept of not using wood.

Steelers05,
I know the school well - I am an 87 Interior Design grad of AIP. I wish our firm was hiring right now - because I would get you an interview in a minute. We have an office in the Frick building, but I work from our home office about 100 miles east of you. I was in the burg Saturday to pick my son up from his freshman year at Pitt - weather was warm and things were looking good!
Good luck in your job hunt - your keen eye and presentation skills should help to set you apart from the other talent!
Bytor
A++ work Steelers05 - I hope the instructors grading your senior project felt the same way!
This is very good on so many levels - you are a very talented guy. Congratulations on your graduation - you should do well with this in your portfolio. Where do/did you go to school, and what field of study are you graduating from?
Again - Fantastic Work!
Tom - Absolutely love the last one! Maybe a tad less sunlight on the castle to match the foreboding sky?

Tom,
The wet one is just wonderfull. I would be proud to have it hanging on my wall and I could look at it for hours. Your technique for that image works well as it has a nice balance to it as well as some interesting depth. While your trees hold up well in all 3 versions - in the wet render I like how their detail blends well with the level of detail needed in some of the other elements to achieve the look and feel that you do here.
Bravo on a really nice piece!
Dean
youiiiii.....................no double youiiiiiii

Thanks Pibuz!
This has been a cool little community effort. Here is my go at it - played a little with the lights and materials. Straight Kerkythea output, 11+ min. for the # 6 default setting on a Q6600 quad core.
Jeff,
I suspect the best you will find is a certificate of completion for any course you may take. I think I remember that there used to be some sponsored by Google in various locations, but I have not seen much lately. You might be able to find a course at a local college or something as such.
For a software that has a free version readily available, I would think that the majority of users are self-taught. There are plenty of good books and on-line tutorials out there for you to learn from, and using the software is the only way to become proficient.
Showing your portfolio of completed works should be all that your colleauges and clients need.
Good Luck! The Gallery forum here is great for testing the waters with your work, and getting help for improvement if needed.

Jon,
You did well to bite your lip. No sense in even starting a discussion with one who would make such an uninformed comment. I usually just smile and walk away if it is someone internally. A while back I met with someone that was interviewing for a designer's position with the firm as they were touring. The individual saw some images hanging near my desk and inquired as to how the work was done. After hearing it was Sketchup & Kerky work - they proceeded on an a 5 min. authoritative rant about how much better off we would be if we did all of our modeling in a Revit / MAX combination, and that we should not consider anything other than Maxwell for final images and animations - as it is the premier rendering engine on the market today. I commented that I couldn't even imagine the hours of training that would be involved in becoming proficient with that combination of applications and asked how long it took them to master them. They stated that they were just learning Revit, and did most of their modeling previously in AutoCAD. They also said they would propose using MAX for any "organic" shapes, and that they have never touched Maxwell. I quickly excused myself as I was late for a meeting, and rolled my eyes as I walked past my bosses. Never saw or heard from them again!
I don't discount any software until I actually try to use it. I am so happy to be able to model in sketchup, as it is far more effective and intuitive than anything else I have used......
Dean
Al,
This is a great tool, but when I first load it in sketchup I get the "Trial period has expired" message and it only works then in the free mode. I would like to test with some of the expanded libraries if possible.
Also - is it possible to add your own libraries - or is that what the rptools plugin is for?
Thanks - your contributions here are much appreciated!

5 hours west of Philly. -2 outside now, it wa -8 when I got out of the van for work "up the mountain" this morning. Wind chill was reported as -30 during the day.
My teenage son wanted to know how cold it had to be for his spit would freeze before it hit the ground...........kids
Thanks for the feedback and comments!
Remus - rendered images are Kerkythea; Gus - your absolutly right. I can only image how "futuristic" a lot of these projects were viewed back then. There was an addition made to this project by another architect (can't remember his name) that appears to double the size. IMHO ..... didn't even come close to doing it justice.
The floor plates here show the 3 levels, basement, and the loft / roof garden. Also - a section and some kerky night shots with mostly clay materials and interior lights on.
Happy New Year!
I wanted to develop some portfolio work - so I have decided to model some works of the various masters. My first choice is a residential project by Le Corbusier in Antwerpen Belgium in 1926. Not one of his more famous works, but it stood out for me because of the context I want to place it in. I intend to remain as true to the original design (especially the exterior shell) as possible - don't want to upset the design gods. I hope to create enough with this and other masters works to fill a city block. I have about 5 hours into this one so far - would like to put another 5 hours max in furnishing and finishes. Then I will place it on a site plot, and render final images for the folio.
Comments / suggestions welcome!
Bytor
Tom,
Outstanding work! Nice to see you take the suggestions from the other thread and incorporate them into this work - it really makes a difference. The suggestions here (especially the edge) sound good as well. The only thing that stands out to me is the glazing on the building to the left. Maybe a little more vertical linework in the linear glazing would hint at more detail.
The color tone and balance you have achieved are just wonderful!
