First really fun SU project in months- client bought an old, crappy-looking transmission shop with the goal of turning it into a retail garden center, and I was given free rein to turn this sow's ear into a silk purse. I'll post more pics as I detail the model further.

The two things that immediately popped into my head are 1) in the post-processing in Photoshop, adding some white highlights to the water from the fountain will make it come alive, and 2) I think the people behind the windows are reading a little strong. In one of the rendering workshops I took, we were advised to really tone down and gray out stuff we wanted to represent as behind glass.

The birds are such a cool damn touch. Again with the life in your work...

I haven't heard a single positive thing about Vista, ever. Even after they get it "fixed" is there a compelling reason to upgrade?

That gives me an idea- has anyone done a fly-through animation of an interior space where the eyes on the paintings follow you? That'd be pretty darn cool!
