@06100143 said: try this tutorial... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbHdi5bEdlI hope this would help you. yeh - that's great - found it after looking for a while. Think i dled the model from the ASGVIS site to follow along but that went down:( wonder if Chaos Group is going to fix the forum and all the materials and tutorial links would have dled a lot more had i known:(

That's some mighty big GIfs. 5MB and 2MB. Some users aren't as fortunate to have good bandwidth. Had it been a video click they could decide to load the clip or not.

good jobe

@majid said: nice render.. also in my sight, the background sun place doesn't match the render sun direction you are right I see it late I will repair it thank bro to your comments

Rule #1: make sure that the geometry you want to displace is isolated into a group or component. If the displaced geometry is connected to any other geometry with a different material the displacement won't work.

I really don't recommend messing with the power parameter, if you want physically accurate results. The power overrides the IES file's information. It should be left to 0, unless you really know what you're doing. Plugging in random numbers isn't going to result in something accurate, because the IES file already contains the correct information for that particular light. Get a different IES file, and ensure that you are working in the proper units.

What are you rendering with ?

@honoluludesktop said: Apple is candy wrapper, and I do not mean that badly. I wear Ferragamo shoes too. i dunno, i think it goes a bit beyond just making the things look fancy.. the unibody design of their laptops can't be beat.. literally, take a solid chunk of aluminum and carve out the innards. they're not just candy wrapped, they're light and durable with attention to detail candy wrappings i honestly think if you walked in your honolulu apple store(s) and picked one up that you'd be impressed with the design.. [wether or not you'd like OSX, well, that's a different story ] and hey, you even get a little feel good music/soft voice type of description of the manufacturing process!

Before you solve your problem of buy, you can use the Twillight Render Hobby who has no limitations, just differences about some functions!

Thanks Jamal, Its always interesting to learn about others jobs and how they use SketchUp. Mike

nice job.....

I was wondering what the detail would look like for the columns protruding through the glass in the front of the building. But its a nice start. Rick

That shouldbe good. I have just got a new card: a 1 Gb nVidia 9600 and it hasn't caused any problems so far (I mean it's very good compared to what I've had so far).

thank you to Respond to my objective @marked001 said: looks like a good start thank on your fan to me @marked001 said: the first thing that pops out at me is that planter in the foreground of the first image....doesnt look like its sitting on the ground....? I agree with your opinion In the next design I will avoid such a mistake @unknownuser said: I agree. The perspective of the image is slightly from above, so it doesn't work that well, and the fact that it's in the foreground draws attention to the issue. When it comes to things like that, you might just be better off modeling it. Thank you for good advice @marked001 said: … Also, the balcony lights being that bright in the middle of the day is a bit odd. I want to show the location of lighting In the next design I will avoid such a mistake
