dammit thomthom, i want to stop using sketchup altogether and u guys keep giving me less reason to leave, cant wait to see more developement on this, please keep road kurbs in mind, perhaps a follow along path type texturing, i might be pissing in the wind but we all need to pee every now and then (i'll try work on a better analogy)...

yes i generally use the same settings, and the raw and finals are back to front, the top final image is the bottom raw image, sorry about that initially i had liked the back view more so i arranged them like i did with the raw images, but then after updating the front view i placed it on top and didnt do so with the raw renders... still the same renders none the less

thank you

wierd just after reading this, and going back to modeling, i needed to find a center point of a curve thanx alot

thanx, i could share practically everything in this image, as everything is self made from samples on cgtextures, except the back wall stone, now all i need to do is remember to upload once i get home

hey awesome model, could you explain briefly how u went about building it?

fixed texture problem, added client changes, added a touch more contrast and added a person now im happy with the image

hehe now go ask them for permission to share it

crap u didnt get it, such an awesome presentation, u should post a small version of that Sheet that was put together for it.

Hey thanks for the kind words, i'll try answere all comments:

Thomthom: i belong to the school of "close 'nuff" so i leave fine detail like that out, i'll update though

Earth mover: Raw renders attached, and this was a big job, with about 30 houses of different styles and settings, really helped hone my skills due to a tight deadline i had to build and render 2 a week (some models were partially built... not this one) but i took my time on this one cos most of the textures here i made myself from pics at cgtextures.

arail1: Gabion Walls as dpimpc said

tom2: sorry for ruining your day

sepo: i'll upload the whole wall when i get home

rcossoli: the raw renders should answere that question

the grass is just overlays from various photos and ornamental grasses from photoshop plant libraries, i'll an image of the photoshop file without the render in it u can see the amount of overlays.

thanx again

not too hard i made it myself from sample from cgtextres, the cabana style would have a different thatch i imagine, a loose look and lighter, this thatch is more common in my neck of the woods...

image takes up too much forum space if u like i could email it to you?

wanted to share my latest render, hot out the oven

There's a bit of text on your site that sounds very familiar to me. Am I hallucinating?

nope....that is because i wanted to launch the site in a rush and still haven't had time to personalize it...
i will be changing that mate

Good. Next time, ask permission first. I gave that bit of text to Solo, not you.

dammit now im currious...

that last one is real, with post touch up on the sky i think... next

no baking here, thats too much work, those are reflection maps, actual reflection

thanks everyone, and for the constructive crit, secondary structure... good eye thanx

sepo: could you elaborate on that true reflection?

solo: no photomatch, just photoshopped plants, mashed together with a bunch elements from different photos. i put the raw render on the first post.

sorry should have mensioned: Vray (always)

wanted to share my recent exteriors i spent too much time modeling this, then rushed the photoshop, so its a tad messy/crappy, but will update eventually for my website.

raw render:

wow im finally interested in learning ruby it would be awesome to not have to request rubies, just make em urself... and share of course.

could anyone be so kind as to post a screen shot/jpg of what this does???
