Looks cool, but more information is better for all.

I finally got chance to change the stone texture below the water.
Hopefully this looks better.

Gorgeous renders!! These are top class interior renders.
The glass looks perfect to me, especially the glass reflection on the picture in 2nd image.
They have a great feel to them.

As already mentioned, the little details really improve things. I love the doors and blinds. Are these from 3dwh, or did you model?

Which renderer did you use Pete?

Latest external render using Twilight.

One of my favorite architects.

I have notice that the warehouse is beginning to accumulate a lot of very good stuff.

I have noticed this also.
It is certainly improving with time and has a lot of excellent models on offer.

Maybe next time don't let the studio setup show in the render

How do you stop it showing at various angles, is there a trick to this?

Hi Dylan! The floor tiles you show in the first render are amazing: how did you do that?

I simply drew around them and push pulled!
It took me about 20 mins at a guess.

What I did was applied floor texture in SU.
I right clicked and chose texture/position. I then drew a square on my texture, the size of the box shown when you edit the texture (where the 4 pins are)
I knew from here I could hopefully seamlessly tile it.

Next I used the freehand pencil tool and in plan view quickly drew around each individual cobble in the square.
Once all were traced, I push pulled 10mm.
Some of them I used round edges on at 2mm, but I only randomly did this on maybe about a third.

Finally I hid the lines at the edge of the stone cobbles, then created a component.
With this component I scaled it to the size I wanted, then simply copied it along to fill the room.
The image above was 6 components.

A couple of images may show it better:

It probably sounds more complicated than it actually was. It was simply a quick brainwave and it worked first attempt.

That second image looks amazing Thomas.

You have pulled off a fantastic design and project here.
I can't believe you actually made this thing, that is so good!
A great site you have put together and again, what a fantastic project. Well done

I like these and I really like the look of the building.
It fits very well in the image.

Two things that I notice in the first image.
The three trees I think you have added would look a little better if the colour was a closer match to the trees in the photograph behind.
The blue letters COOP look a little false as if they were added afterwards. They seem to stand out too much to me. Maybe change the colour to match the column.

Yes it's a Bowie knife from 3DWH.

Do these AXYZ models work ok in SU, or do they require some work first?

Two pretty simple renders while I learn the workings of Twilight Render.

I agree it's a very pleasant piece of software.

I like these model type renders, nice work

I love the architecture in the first image, the colours and I think it's a fantastic Podium render.

A great Podium render

I love the extra touch of leaves on the water.

One thing I would suggest is a different material on the soffits. My eye is drawn to the top left where the material has a diagonal joint. Maybe even just a flat colour.

It's actually quite a cool looking cycle in my opinion.
I say go for it Mike!

Try installing it in: yourname/library/application support/google sketchup 7/sketchup/plugins

A handful of plugins only work in this folder on the Mac.

Hi Susan,

Just noticed you are coming to Cambridge. I live about 20mins drive away, so if I can get some time off on that day I will meet up with you!

Wow, wish I had spotted this one yesterday!
Very useful, thanks

Certainly cannot display much there, but it looks good!

Render looks excellent
