... next so many others, also Render[IN] could be a plugin option for you as it has not an annual subscription model. Certainly not the fastest tool in terms of the rendering process itself, but can be grasped in a few minutes if you don't want to get lost in any too complex render software.

Hi
these are probably faster to model yourself than to search, download and modify them - however, for example in the 3D Warehouse you will find a wide range of window shutters...

Prima Bryan!

what a beautiful piece of work - I would recommend to replace the front trees with something less big for a better sight onto your work(?)

I don't know where you get your knowledge of these enigmatically beautiful old devices - they are always and in any case so wonderful to look at an so well presented!

thank you All for your nice comments - and Rich, yes, finish that guy! Great and I have no idea how you manage to get him really so "spongy"!?!

thanks a lot Rich - I can´t wait to see your´s!

Hi All,
many many years ago I saw an empty-headed and somehow funny-annoying cheese bloc running around on TV talking incessantly stupid stuff!
Later my back then small boys explained to me that this was not a square cheese-bloc but a sponge called SpongeBob
Having already made some figures of this kind, including even Plankton from the same series, it was high time I got to work again

wunderbar Dave!

so cool!

Respect!

...what a great work, both in modelling and render

...ja, good news! - at some point in "this game" there always comes a point where we have to catch up with our computers.

I love these kind of native SU-basics (which is not supposed to denote the beautiful model!)

how many times I had been in despair about this very issue This post, as a reminder so to speak, should pop up automatically once or twice a year

I wish you would share larger images ...

also for me please !!!
And again a beautiful work which shows that accurate work and details pay off!

thanks a lot Bryan and Mike !

that's a really good tip. I realise that manual correction is necessary here and there but always better than doing everything by hand from scratch.
Thanks!

Great! - I know every metre there
