Fantastic - I love the way you get the gradient up the windows, how do you do that?

It looks good Ross. The image has a nice feel to it.

Did you add the grass and road surface in xara also?

Thanks Dylan,
Probably the the reflections are the only bonus achieved by running the image through Kerkythea but I feel that, just maybe, it adds some richness that wouldn't be achieved with a straight WC render.

You are right stu, the reflection definately gives it something extra and I guess the bonus is with kerk you could do this so easily

You have created a great looking scene here Stu. The garden looks fantastic.

One question, was the render in kerk more to get the glass reflection than anything else? Just thinking running a watercolour look takes away what a realistic render does apart from the window reflection (which looks good with the womans reflection)

Really nice looking model and a very fitting way by Ross of presenting it.

Yes Happy Birthday Craig, enjoy your day!

Happy Birthday cheffey - I always enjoy seeing your modelling skills!

Very nicely put Edson.

I wish I could delete whole objects that easily in PS!

That does look impressive, will be interesting to see it when it becomes mainstream.

That is some really skillful flying, it most be so hard to control a model plane like that.

Nice work jessalba. It has a simplicity about it and is very pleasent.
P.S
Remember you can add more sides to a circle if you require smoother looking and more natural circles.

That is a beautiful design and yes, what a fantastic place that must be to work.
I never realized Mclaren had such a building and designed by Foster none the less.

Mike I also love that church. Im a big fan of Richard Meiers work. I modelled one of his residential projects last year and am about to start another.

It's grown
I like it Gforce, well done. Looks better without the red.
As Jenu just mentioned, it would look interesting with a render.

I like your idea and concept, although im not sure if you could get enough sunlight into those gardens.

At the moment im finding the building not that pleasing to look at, but I think a lot of that is to do with your colours/materials. Im not keen on all that red and also those cross members in black. Maybe play around with these materials and it will look better imo.

Welcome to all the SU guys and congrats Craig on your new position

Now I understand it a little better now you post that image.

These clip map trees grass and shrubs, do you make these yourself, or are they downloadable pretty much like SU components? If downloadable do you purchase these?

I realy want to start rendering some external shots like this myself, but what was putting me off is not knowing how to get nice looking grass!

I may even purchase Podium.

Yes the second link you posted stu I have watched before and it is so good. The quality is fantastic.

It is good to see the real size of Fallingwater. People generally only see the bunch of pics which show so little of it really.

Here is a link to a site which has some really nice Hi Res wallpapers.

Thats fantastic Very Happy

Ive always thought it would be enjoyable metal detecting, but finding something like this would be beyond your wildest dreams!
