I'll look into that

"Metaphoric oxymoron" ? 😉

Thanks Jason
It maybe my first night render, but I spent alot of time on it. Not at all a profitable job. But great learning experience. At least I'd be able to do the same job in a third of the amount of time next job.

WOW! besides the light problem that looks like a fantastic render. can't wait to see it completed.

Thanks. Will post soon. The job is due today. Better get cracking.

Amazing image Jonathan!!

My only crit is a little pet peeve of mine.......floor / ceiling structure is way too thin. As a point of reference - the top bolt location on the railing posts essentially would be below the finish level of the upper floor. Most people won't even notice, but unfortunately once I do I have a hard time moving my eye away from it - thinking that maybe there is something else going on there that I am missing.

all the documentation should "automatically" update

fwiw, this is exactly what Solidworks also does- but for engineering. Create an assembly, change something, then a huge box appears with a massive list of errors, and "you really didn't want to do that" pop-up windows!! 😲 😆

just didnt have much time today to include all your suggestions. Got to much on.

I couldnt touch the second house because SU keeps crashing. I think it may have to do with it being modeled ages ago on SU5
Anyway heres a revamp of the first house. Wish I had more time and money to play with it more.

Cheers Sepo for taking the time to play around with that image.

I know perspective is still not right. Found changing between 2pt perspective and playing with the FOV realy difficult. But in the end the client loved it.

I have had all sorts or problems rendering this one model at any res over 800x600???!!!!!

My work around was:
-To render the house and tree in one render with alpha. Saved out as a vrimg then converted to exr then converted to png 32bpp
-Then render garden and fence in another render with alpha. Saved out as a vrimg then converted to exr then converted to png 32bpp

-Then bring the 2 images into PS
-The garden and fence become the top (which has a transparent or alhpa backgound) layer which has a slight ghosting around its boarders (fence line and some plants which overlap the layer below).

Hope this makes sense

This is the top layer

Yes, that can affect the render output. 😞

ah, yes. it's a console app! I remember now that you mention it.

Note that once the IR is as good as you want it, if you choose to render twice the size, then you can reduce the min/max by one. If you render four times larger you can reduce min/max by four.

..and this one sorry!

Thats perfect, I have abit of experimenting to do.

Ok Im an idoit

I didnt turn off AVG and Win fire wall.

After that it downloaded fine.

Bee-utiful!

I'd like to see the wireframe. Some of those details are - well, very detailed! Other than the aforementioned comments about the fuzzy tree in the foreground - is that a focal effect you are after? Because the trees behind the house are crisp, which I would think would be a bit fuzzy too.

Great job though!

Hi
I need a clear Textured glass Testure/Bump map like the one in this link

http://www.robinwood.com/Catalog/SecondLife/SLGraphics/TexturesSL/Textured-Glass2.jpg

Can anyone help me.

If you are a Kerkythea user, there is a nice new patterned glass pack by Sergio.

very nive render i like it...

Shit! It went for NZ$5,160!!!! (about €2,350)!

I have heard alot of people speaking on Modo possibly not being the best tool for Archviz/Modeling work. While I do not think there is a "best tool", many are good or great, I do think a few really shine and Modo is one of them. Modo is not just a tool for doing organic modeling. While it does do that well it can excel at architectural modeling as well. Modo can model down to as tight of a tolerance as you want to throw at it. I do not know to many architectural modelers modeling tighter that maybe a 1/16" or a customer who expects tighter tolerances that that either. If someone is saying modo can not model accurately then they have not taken the time to learn how.

I used to say "sketchup does everything I want it to do" too, but the more I use it the more I find myself doing things in modo that I can not do as easily in sketchup. I think we as artists always need to be moving forward...we just hope that our software is moving forward as well. THIS is where sketchup falls short for me. The lack of high poly support is beginning to be a killer for me. So many people want to add good trees into a visualization (stuff like xfrog or onyx trees) and we all know that will grind sketchup to a halt. Yes, there are good work arounds but they will never equal a great full 3d tree. Again, Sketchup is great but if you are looking for a well rounded FULL 3D package then I would spend the money on Modo.

The sketchup importer......Yes it falls short. Much of this is not Luxology's fault though. We have heard this was a matter of Google not working very well with Luxology.

Below are some good video's showing the architectural capabilities of Modo. Sorry, they cost but there are some great models and render examples on the modo forum as well.
