I like it John the glazing in the last one makes it "pop" along with the contrast in the image.

And final front elevation:

Updated rear elevation showing dormers:

The trees are 3D. Your right there is a privacy issue but that window is at the rear (they are the same). A screen/curtain solution will be designed. At the moment the interior is very undecided so the main job was the exterior. The candle is a modelled flame (teardrop) with a scaled smaller flame with emitter (inside). So yes just emissive. I have attached the tea-light.Thanks for the comment.

Tea Light.skp

Dormers were added to the rear elevation enabling this loft scene:

I like the lateral thinking Richard, it really was never intended for this ! A bit like people doing 2D plans in word.

Thanks Modelhead

Thankyou Richard for the tips. I must say Maxwell has been a joy to learn & use it's results are very predictable which makes a big difference in my workflow compared to biased renders. The only problem is the hardware & time needed but i believe it's worth it in the end. The public has become very exposed to 3d work and have raised there expectations accordingly Maxwell always answers that need.

She is proving very difficult i have taken her to all my exotic models but i still haven't undressed her. Even if i did i'm not sure i would share my experience (she's special). I think a 3D model with high poly breasts is needed for the water to lap around. I think the nipples should be exactly at water level ?

Latest image of the loft bathroom:

The rear elevation, the colour scheme here of cream & aluminium frames was done to humour the architect, the client wants almost brilliant white with oak frames (coming next)

Thanks Tadema the ability to orientate the reflective image independently is a godsend in maxwell. The images are working as i am getting a lot of feedback from the client & architect however they are very conflicting. It looks like we are going to have to thrash it out. The off white render & window frame/door colour needs to be explored. Rear elevation next.

Thanks for the tips guys. Tadema ironically the pp you did picked up the displaced grass so it was a successfull effect. I agree the grass is an extra not needed especially at this range plus without displacement my machine is a lot snappier ! Here is the updated version with some extra polishing. I found it quite interesting to see my interpretation from 2D plans compared to the architects pallette, it seems i was a mile off ! On a side note i was looking for a boot/mud scraper to place by the front door i was unable to find one yet on the warehouse anyone seen one ?

Being new to Maxwell, i can say i am still really enjoying it and i have a lot more to learn.

Thanks for the replies guys, i am struggling with the grass does anyone have any tips for displacement grass in maxwell ? ! I just had some feedback from the architect so i will update this thread with new images soon.

House number 22 (rendered in Maxwell) C & C welcome.

Lol guys, i believe a bow would be more appropriate perhaps she is associated with Artemis the huntress. Originally this deity was the spirit of the kitchen who came out when you were sleeping to tidy, patrol & bless the kitchen. It's all real and part of the service i tell the client. Yes sketchup with maxwell can conjur deitys.

Thanks Gaieus, i like to add a narrative but this time i was out-staged. I am new to maxwell and i must say i am enjoying it. The sketchup plugin is very efficient .

i think the average response to this image is:

" hold on give me a minute let me have a look "
" well do you like the kitchen design ? "
" what kitchen ? "
" let me have another look ? "

repeat ad infinitum

As a reference point for quality in the render, the nymph is unachievable. She is a little distracting i agree, i think i have shot myself in the foot. Still it was a labour of love creating her billboard, i will never forget her............

The Nymph.................(mighty Maxwell Render)

Hey Richard i remember you from back in the day at PPB and the early beta's of maxwell ! I would recommend 2 years with artlantis to my worst enemies. Joking aside it was like training with ankle weights on. Now i am literally bounding along. It did teach me the basics though of composition and more importantly lateral thinking lol. The client did a lot of chin scratching and mis-informed observations followed by reducing my asking price by 1/3rd. My next visit saw the bridge view printed and framed in the focal point of his office same old story Richard ! Studio is really a godsend for composition it makes up for our beloved sketchup's inadequacies with high poly support. I have found the software to be fantastic along with the plugin which now with fire is a revelation. Even though i threw my artlantis libraries to the wind i have not regretted my migration. I can recommend maxwell highly, everything is very predictable and beautiful.
