ABC Movie of the Week.

@Gus-R Dark mode would be nice too.

Re: EMD SD45 - Union Pacific

Here's the latest. Still a WIP but I'm getting close to finishing. This is modeled with SU 2022 Pro and rendered in D5 Render.

Grabbed a mode from 10-11 years ago and re-rendered it in D5 Render. They already built this. I also did color elevations for planning commission meetings. This is the clubhouse and pool area for a multi-family development in Parker, Colorado.

@Gus-R Waiting for the sun.

@Mike-Amos Put together a quick scene and rendered with some rusty metal I slapped together using Quixel.Mixer.

@Rich-O-Brien OMG! What is this?

Looks great, L i am. I seem to be doing a lot of free renderings as well lately. Mostly for practice. Sometimes I show it to the architect I do drafting for and doesn't go further than that. I guess after outsourcing we're all just waiting for AI to take over the universe. IMO most of the AI "art" I've seen looks like an illustration for the cover of a supermarket romance novel.

Based on a 70 ton truck in reconditioning manual from Strato Inc, Piscataway, NJ. 68 inch wheelbase and 33 inch diameter wheels. Needs brake system. Have some UP boxcar plans lined up.

@Gus-R

@pixelcruncher Thanks. Now I'm tempted to buy a nice 57 Chevy from CG Trader and modeling a couple more of those old house designs. Maybe not I don't know. I have regular work to focus on.

@Gus-R Some different interior lighting setup.

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks. Cooler light on this? No. I just cranked it up on the warm side and stuck a flaming hot fire in the fireplace. I could try that later or just shutting off the lights.

The noise is just "add noise" in Photoshop. I also added a sepia filter above that. It's two layers in Photoshop. Three if you include the sepia photo filter. I wish I could have done this stuff in my 20s..

Overall I surprised myself by getting this done within 48 hours. Usually I'm noodling with everything and trying to be perfect. Perfectionism is a real hindrance to creativity. Just do it I guess.

@Rich-O-Brien How about... this one?

The 57 Chevy is from 3D Warehouse. Modeler unknown.

@Bryan-K Thanks.

Did some changes to the design here and there to make it look more like the original design including the landscaping but I kept the "meadow" scatter grass.

I also added 3D siding using Instant Architect.

@Mike-Amos said in The Larner:

@L-i-am

Agreed, has atmosphere and I look for that more than geometrical perfection.

Thanks. The cut grass looked ugly so I went with some wild grass and a meadow scatter with a trail leading to the back. I think weathering of any sort is key. Now it looks like some old guy or gal lives there.

Killing time and whipped this up today using a design from an old house plan catalog.

@Gus-R Here's a skp of the rigid frame with purlins.

@Gus-R Here's a more recent rigid frame section sample from my files.

Here's rigid frame sample I just whipped up. Nothing fancy. All it needs is some roof and wall purlins.
