Photos these days are just so unrealistic!

Very nice!

Any particular reason for naming it Rhodes Corridor?
My mum was born a Rhodes from Manchester, England

Looking good, but, uh, where's the front door?

Well the front door is next to my desk, but everyone goes to the back door because thats the most obvious door when you enter the yard.

You'll have to forgive me my renders at the moment. I upgrade to Win7 and forgot to save my render settings. And it's been a while since I did any modelling, so I cant remember what all the setting are now.

Hi all

I thought I'd get back into modelling. I am constructing my house with a level of accuracy.

Hi Marius,

Its been a long time since Ive been on here, and whos model do I see but yours.
I see that your modelling is getting even better. I love the way you set the scenes as you go along.
I always told you you were good!

We'll have to catch up some time.

Nice pic, but if you want it to look more realistic, the cannabis plants need to be bushier ;D

Thanks all for your interest and comments.

I'm not the designer on this house and I never plan to be a designer (excuse the pun).
I'm just the modeller and renderer, so those comments have been helpful. I know there is always room for improvements, and thats why I like to hear what you've said. I'll see if the next lot of renders can surpass this one.

Cheers

Hi,

Cheers for the nice comments.
I rendered it in V-Ray

If you like the stone work, here's the image

and bump map (I got clever and made the bumpmap).

The plants are from Solos collection. Well worth the price!

oops, too many pics...

Hi again all,

I finished this ages ago, but life has been busy.

Here is the final product.

Getting nearer to the end.

Done a little bit more.

I was wondering if someone might be able to help me.
I want to put some lawn down, but I don't like the textures I have available.
I am rendering using v-ray.
I had a thought, and that was to take a snap shot of the plan view of the lawn made from Vue8, and use that as the texture, however, as you can see, my Vue is trial and comes up with the stamp. Is someone able to make a nice lawn for me that I can use?

Pre-thanks

Grass v6.skp

Here is where I'm at at the moment.

Does anyone recognise those beautiful 3D plants?

Oh, and almost forgot

1. I can't see the north.

North is the top of the page in plan view

@leehanrahan said:

great renders, what renderer did you use?, also how did you get the plan to render out i have been trying to do this for ages but cant do it.

I used V-ray 6. And you just need to explode your plan. You can re-group it afterwards, but that kinda releases it from an imported image to a texture.

Wow, very nice. I thought the line art was good until I saw the stairway rendered. Awesome.

Thought that I'd show this one too, just to give a bit more of an appreciation.

Lol,

Thanks all for your comment. Much appreciated, however, I'm not the designer, I'm just the modeller, so all your wonderfull comments regarding the design will go nowhere. Even if I do agree with many of the comments.

Here is a bit of an update, just tidying things up a bit.

Hi all,

I'm starting a new project for my dad.
This is a couple hours in. I thought I'd do some progress shots.

C&C welcome and any suggestions on modelling.

I think this might be why New Zealand isn't on this map.
