Brilliant. Ive always been a fan of your images, these confirm that. Not easy scenes to render. DOUBLE THUMBS up for you

RE: Lastest work (Thea4Su 13 May)
This is my first major play with Thea. Coming from Vray4sketchup I by passed learning the basics and went straight to instancing.
This image is influenced by a very addictive free game called "World of Tanks". That game will be the death of me. Huge thanks to DallasRT for the wildgrass and sharek for the Panther tank.First one with DOF
Second one over Photoshopped

RE: World cup rugby 2011
yESSSSSSSSSSSS
I was down town in Auckland at party central with 80k other Oz and Kiwi fans.
Watching the game on a HUGE out door screen. The game was great, but the crowds were amazing. In such great spirits. Lots of handshakes and pats on the back with the opposition fans. Awesome atmosphere. Will really
miss the World Cup when it comes to the end. -
Painted metal texture needed
Hi all
I'm looking for a texture like the one in this picture done by Sharek. I'm using Thea and Vray to render. I presume its just a bump map and reflection map. Does anyone have anything like this they would like to share. -
RE: Military vehicles rendered with V-Ray
The texture you used on the T34/85 is very impressive.
Where did you get the bumpmap from? -
RE: Barcelona Pavilion
FANTASTIC very inspirational. You render with a photographers eye.
Best Vray renders Ive seen in a long time.
You should post these in the Chaos site http://www.chaosgroup.com/forums/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?126-V-Ray-for-SketchUp
Its been very quiet there since the change over. Your images may spark some life back into it. -

I just hope a VfSU 2.0 teaser comes out soon to get me excited again.
Right there with you on that one

RE: Oh-Oh
Hmmmmmmmmmm and again hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I actually own Thea just haven't played with it yet. I bought it at that really good price before its release. I put it on the shelf because there were other programs which I felt i needed to learn before another renderer.
But it might be time to get my teeth into it. I bought it because it promised instancing in the future. Which i believe they have now implemented.
I have become alittle disillusioned with Vray 4 Su. I just cant see how they are ever going to be able to achieve a similar pluggin as they do with MAX, Maya or even Rhino while working within a program which has major RAM limitations. Sorry just to point out, Ive never expected Vray for SU to be in par with the MAX pluggin. just competing with similar renderers at its price bracket.
I use Vray for Arch Viz. 90% of my work is exterior. So I would love to be able to use some vegetation in my scenes. So is a rendering pluggin within SU ever gona be able to achieve these results? I have read on here that proxy's or instancing is in the pipe line. But is this a pipe dream? I'd be keen to wait it out for this, but within reason. Or maybe I just chose wrong.
Also I'm spending alot of time going back to saved files because Vray/SU has had a memory cash and suddenly all my material layers have doubled up. This has been a well known bug for quite sometime. Yet as far as I know has not been fixed. This one problem can happen several times a day. Which costs alot of time which is money.
I feel like alot of other users. Standing at a fork in the road. Wondering which direction to go in. Time is my biggest hurdle. I'm self employed and time is money. So do we wait around till Vray catches up or fixes itself. Or do we commit to learning a new renderer which offers these things already. I realize that there would be major sacrifices changing renderers.
Vray has outstanding qualities. For me the best being how fast and clean it is. Im no idiot to realize that Vray's competition is not perfect and has down falls too.
If any of the developers happen to read this. Please don't take it as bashing. I do know developing software and keeping customers happy is not easy. Also we all get, that working within SU is a nightmare. But I too, like others have to consider our own customer's to keep happy.
Would love to know a loose development road map. As I'm trying to build one for myself. Trying to figure what direction to go next.So hope you understand that knowing where the development is heading is vital to my business.
Sorry if this reads bad. I'm dyslexic and writing is truly a mountain to climb.

RE: [Exterior] A Conceptual House 2, Conceptual
I'm amazed this scene rendered without running out of ram.
The vegetation you used looks very heavy. Is there any trick to this.Id also love the link to the trees.
Also good luck for competition.

RE: [Exterior] A Conceptual House 2, Conceptual
FANTASTIC
But I think the reflection layers of some materials need the sub div increased. Too avoid noise.
Where did you get the models of the trees? They good great -

Well, the Aussies couldn't handle our pack. Great scrums, solid defence and forced a lot of penalties. It was a great match.
You should have seen Auckland city after that game. IT HAD TURNED GREEN. Loads of your country men out onthe town.

better get out your fat wallet...
Autodesk 3ds Max
US$3,495 (MSRP)*Im not worried about the money. I plan to rob a bank this weekend.
Actually now for me is the best time to purchase this software. Ive been pondering over it for the last 2yrs and NZ dollar is the highest its been in ages.
