I read about a guy who knows some of the higher-ups at Apple and managed to get this complain emailed to Steve Jobs. The reply he got from 'big Steve' was "don't hold it like that then". Customer service FTW!

Reminds me of this

I pride myself on not being an early adopter but in this case all I can say is

Much appreciated! I've been using DoubleCAD for a while now but not really enjoying it, this seems like a great substitute

Same

TBH it's pretty hard to comment when there's no reference. You say you are trying to optimise your 'time spent vs quality' ratio, but without knowing how long this would take (or what it would look like) using your normal workflow there's really not much to be said.

Let me know what you think, good or bad

I think my clients wouldn't go for an image like this. On the other hand, if it's a hobby-project or a quickie you did for a friend then it looks allright to me.

Wow, very cool mate! The Moleskine would look great printed and framed

"please keep distance, large curves rash"

don't know if google translated right, I think rash is the wrong word.

Yeah a 'rash' is what you get on your skin from for example an allergic reaction I can see why Google translated it wrong. In this case I suppose Kurvenausschlage means that the rear of the vehicle has a large operating-radius in bends (the body extends far beyond the rear axle)...

On topic: Great progress man, I like the shot with the buildings behind it very much. Are you planning on modelling the interior as well?

Very nice, love dogs...

Nuba looks a little like my last one

The flooding's pretty horrible, I heard it killed at least 19 people in the south of France today...

Guys, you forgot about the Dutch plan...

I can't see the original exterior anymore but if memory serves me right I liked it better. People on the grass still odd. The interior's really great, absolutely love it! I never dare to go for such a pale low-contrast image but it really works...

Is that the intro to NOS Journaal on the TV?

Looks like a very compelling image to me. Oli has made some very good points I think though. I'd like to add that if you try to achieve a 'scale model' effect you should go for a shallower DOF or a more realistic viewpoint. The trees, albeit lowpoly which doesn't bother me that much, are awesome.

If by any change you called it a "scale model" but meant massing study or prelim, I'd suggest going for more of a clayrender-type approach, maybe with a line-overlay.

Btw, is that a Citroen DS in the foreground???

Thanks August. I've had situations in the past where I really needed to figure out a font in an image, so I'll be sure to bookmark these!

Shura that's fantastic man! Would've taken me hours or even days to come up with a solution like that!
