This is almost becoming a series of mine. Design is from 1921.

Conrail EMD SD45. Same model, moving things around for the Conrail configuration. Minor Photoshop/Gimp work for decals.

I think I might finally make some money off this never ending project. I contributed to the design of the house. The garage is just a relatively simple structure. I would have done something with parapets to match the house. This was rendered in D5 Render.

I've been neglecting my interior modeling and renderings.

Something I slapped together using D5 and Blenderkit models. The Mustang is from Wire Wheels by Luis Lara Osorio. Post computer repair.

Some recent renderings from the wilderness.

This is similar to my Union Pacific SD45. Differences overall being different Flexicoil trucks; antenna location; safety light, Nathan horns; and a snow plow/pilot at the front end.

Renderings are "ink sketch" post effect from D5 Render.

Initial sample:

ABC Movie of the Week.

Pulled out.

Sketchup, Blender, D5 Sync to D5 Render. The snow is generated with a free Blender plugin. It's too heavy for Sketchup so I directly import it through Blender to D5. There's a mountain back there but I'm still playing around with D5 2.9's new terrain feature.

Thanks!

Here's another before and after for a kitchen remodel I'm working on.

Short video.

Another view

Something I designed on the fly while testing ReRender AI. This is D5 output with on some AI enhancement which is basically sharpening which I later added when scaling the renderings down in Photoshop. Anyway, I think it's an international style.

Modeling is Sketchup as is the topography. Windows and door are Flextools.

Bzzt...

Thanks guys. They do remain my models so I can always feel that AI is just another tool. I know I have my own personal disgruntled opinions about AI overall but with ReRender AI I've discovered an AI tool that relatively easy to use and gets pretty good results. I already did some quick AI renderings on a house I'm working on and the client now wants me to do one of my own renderings for him.

It's not perfect and has a mind of its own sometimes and it's almost impossible to get the same results all the time. It's usually a one shot deal "per rendering." Then you have to go back and work with the text prompts to get similar results. Overall though I can either have fun with it like with my train renderings or I can use it for work to get quick interior and exterior renderings in minutes which can lead to more work.

I've been using Sketchup to generate 3D models for rendering which I can also use to generate 2D cad exports to using in elevations for my plan sets. It's a 25 year old Autocad (ADT 3.3) which still works and is like my old favorite pencil.

Here's another ReRenderAI example. The first is just an original sketch with no material that's generated in D5 from a Sketchup model.

Another before and after using "enhance" with the text prompt "Put this train in an enclosed weathered train repair shop on a lift with a lot of dirty train locomotive repair men around it.."

This was the original for that house above. It's an old NPR SU model I did probably 15 years ago.
