Cooking up another. I found a planter at Google Warehouse.

Rendering an old model with Luxrender. Trying to find the best materials.

Beautiful. This last one is better, some of the others look like procedural clouds and not natural looking. It would be nice if someone would give you an old ship model for this last shot.
Ive tried to avoid using Blender because of the hard to use interface, i feel, i need a higher IQ and extra fingers to get around. Its extra work and slows me down. Maybe when they change it in version 2.5.
notareal:
I stopped the render and didnt save it because i wanted to start rendering on
another model. On the render above there is an error under the ceiling of that
porch. Not sure, if the normals are reversed or that im not using the
correct materials or settings.
Richard:
I think its called an interface. I exported the Sketchup Model with a ruby script called lwo_export.rb and i imported that into Blender. Blender isnt need if the script was written for luxrender.
The ruby script was downloaded from here:

Before I exported the Model i exploded my groups and components and set my units to engineering.
Below is a picture of the interface, there you can save your render and return
to it to finish it in the future.

Here's a model from Google Ware House. Rendering with Luxrender. Its been cooking for 1 hr 42 minutes. I'm not use the recommended render settings and may be i messed it up.

Nice work. Colors on the second render looks better and makes room look brighter.
Its been quiet here and i was wondering where everybody went. No body told me.
