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.

It's up!

Got the word just now from the author, J. Leibinger.

Well, that might be a little over the top.

Cynicism is part of my survival toolkit. Especially in America.

Dave,

Oh right. It expires tomorrow. Which means we're possibly looking at no more Soap Skin and Bubble.

This is precursor of things to come with Sketchup.

Meanwhile Trimble stopped showing a monthly subscription for SU Pro on their website. Even though I still have one. Next payment is May 9th and it even says the same on my license in SU. So about 5 minutes ago I go a warning saying it was set to expire soon.

Everything is upsidedown.

Getting the same on my end. Searched and can't find an alternate download. Don't know what the situation is. I emailed the author to see if he knows anything.

Looks useful. I can't seem to be able to get it to work. Maybe I need more coffee.

Trông có vẻ hữu ích. Nhưng tôi không thể nào làm cho nó hoạt động được. Có lẽ tôi cần uống thêm cà phê.

@panixia There's a link to grain assets but it's in a readme and it's a drx file for DaVinci Resolve. I'd look into it more this morning but at the moment I regret not having invested in a retirement plan allowing me the ability to not do anything for the rest of my life.

Thanks Mike. I'll have to check that out.

Panixia, the specific video that references the LUT I downloaded is below. There's a lot of videos that are more or less about "what's wrong with movies today." My favorites of late are "Papillon" and "In the Heat of the Night." There are many.

Maybe we can start a trend along with Hollywood? It hit me watching these videos about "today's videos" how this can apply to modern day architectural renderings and trends. You can learn from so much including watching Japanese carpentry videos that can apply to our craft.

Noise and grain...

Thanks Mike!

I'm experimenting with an Ektachrome LUT. Got the idea from watching some "what's wrong with movies today" video on Youtube. More noise, more contrast.

Some recent 3D and renderings for a house in Mandeville Canyon, California and Pacific Palisades, California. The first renderings is a redesign by me including interior design for the garage addition. The last five is the house in Pacific Palisades with interior design and renderings by me. That house was designed by Michael Lee Architects.

Just to stir things up here's Bernie Sanders on AI.
