Thanks for sharing

Hi I have not used this plug in, but I seem to think you have Maxwell so you could use the proxies thing. Though I have had the odd quirky result using it.

Found this tutorial. might help. http://sketchupvrayresources.blogspot.com/2011/07/making-modern-minimalist-house-by.html

Many thanks for the mxm. I look forwards to using it.

Is that from the Maxwell resourses site? Or another/ I can`t find it

Nice scene. The glass is a bit reflective for my tastes, almost mirror like. It would have more depth if you had a sense of the rooms behind.David H Hieru`s Villa looks good that way as a recent post.What renderer did you use?

I like the grainy effect. What kind of glass did you use in Maxwell?

Hi came across these, they are getting away from your idea but is a little food for thought.

Like it. My wife recently went to help train staff at a hotel. I noticed all the bathrooms were of this kind of design, and were craned in plugged and plumbed in. The rest of the hotel was of more traditional construction. I seem to think Kengo Kuma designed a plastic house but not a micro one. How about a Kalwall panel to make the door with a moulded edge.

While I don't have any real criticism (It looks good!), I do have a better method of cutting around trees...use the ones I have instead. I can create a dropbox link if you want. I have a couple hundred photoshop alpha channel trees for use with renderings that friend of mine made a while ago, as well as people and brush presets (for black/white people silhouettes) They're absolutely awesome for PS renderings.

Let me know.

Yes please. You will have to point me towards a good tutorial on how to use them as I have no idea.

Fantastic. Makes me feel a little lame. I like the first one best. Would be very proud of either though.

Problem solved!

Guy, I find the lady in the foreground out of scale. Is the object of the render the biggest building on the right? If so I would opp. for a more symmetrical view, may be a tall image with more sky above. I also find the empty left lower portion of the image to be a distraction. The empty sky on the upper left could also use a foreground tree.

Nice building, will do much to upgrade the neighborhood.

Thanks for the help and the comments. The lady is part of the original photo, but she can come out,with a fight! I was going to do add more sky though. Alas dont have a good photo from a flatter angle.

Hi,

I could do with some help and criticism please. I have rendered a matched photo in Maxwell Render and put it together in Photoshop. Does anyone have a good method of citting around trees? Have tried to use the background layer and use the airbrush behind to limited effect. I have only a little experince in Maxwell though have enjoyed using it so far.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi

That seems a lot of textures for a simple scene. Are you using any very big textures or pngs. Can you simplify it a little? It will not just be the mirror but cumulative effect of textures. Would this normally work on your machine? I found if I have too many glossy surfaces I did not get a render! Can you use layers to hide something? Looks like not. Have you tried using ThomThoms clean up? I do not have the technical knowledge of others here but sounds very heavy for a single interior scene.

Someone with real knowledge will answer I am sure.

Guy

Interesting idea nice render. What method did you use to make the cones? Why the chess board background?

Before I had more stuff on but now just simple and render apps/tool.

Quick test render. Can`t nail the glass though.

Amazing stuff. I have a laughable question. Can you please tell me where I find the sub division options you have used at the start of your tutorial? I can`t seem to find it!

Guy

Absolutely amazing job! Now you need flying lessons.
