@Dave-R said in Malibu:

Very nice. I like the zero entry front door. Is it zero entry from the garage?

Thanks Dave. It's a double door into a hallway. Here's the floor plan.

Thanks guys.

I don't think I ever drove a Mustang. My sister had a '68 for a while. Lately I've been liking the 1971 Mustang Boss. The malaise era was pretty bad.

I thought about renting a Mustang convertible to take a trip around the Rockies (I'm right next to them) but you need a credit card. Debit card won't do. Plus at the time they weren't available. That was years ago so the urge isn't there anymore. Now I haven't driven anything in years.

@tuna1957 It's good enough for who it's for.

@tuna1957 I got that from BikeFarmer on Youtube.

@tuna1957 I wasn't freaking out. I was taking a nap and my sister called.

@tuna1957 I'm living vicariously through my renderings.

@tuna1957 Thanks! It's getting pretty wild out here! I created primitive half pipe object in SU and added a cylinder in D5 in front of that

@tuna1957 Think of the heating bill! I don't think I can see myself living in anything I've rendered.

@ntxdave Memory. This one is basically like your typical tract ranch with gable ends and a center bump-out. That combined with all the details and elevations I've done over the years. I start with an idea in my mind and go from there. Sometimes I'll mull things over in my head while before I go to sleep. I guess you can look at a lot of house pictures. I stick with standard wall heights, roof slopes, windows, roof types, etc.

@tuna1957 Thanks. Back in the day they would pay good money for a rendering like this. Now you can get something like this from Laos for $150. Soon that will be gone too.

@Rich-O-Brien Groovy, man. Nice. How did you make the tassels?

Here's the EMD SD45 lined up in Conrail, Union Pacific and Burlington Northern liveries.

I blew up a C2 Flexicoil truck which is used on the Burlington Norther and Conrail SD45.

Some of the innards aren't finished or perfectly accurate but since they're not visible from the exterior view I let it go. I got carried away as it is.

Thanks Mike, Rich.

That's the original Sketchup EMD SD-45 model which I imported into D5 and exported as an asset.

Did some mods.

We're expanding!

Finally got on Facebook. I've been posting a lot of renderings there. See you there maybe

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. I haven't thought about that. I know it takes some work setting up a lot of this stuff since it include identity verification, portfolio, samples, etc. I'm not really feeling optimistic about rendering work at all which was never really there even in better economic times. I still have to finish Fiverr. My new phone will help for the identity stuff.

I've been wasting my time with Upwork and going nowhere. [I still can't get over how cheap these people are. Even those in the USA and Australia.] Same thing with my Facebook professional page. The latter I've gotten over 1,200 likes for my ad but no bites for work. I've been getting some drafting work but not as much as I would like. Time's have changed and all the old guys are either retired or dead.

Another view.
