Fantastic modeling. Fantastic renderings.

Interesting design but it is not very bright for a lamp.

It is for the future. The human eye has evolved so that it doesn't require the bright lights we need now.

While there are some excellent feature with Kindle (the automatic downloading of eBooks you buy being one of them) I cannot really understand why anyone would buy a Kindle when there are the mini laptops being sold for a similar price.

I'd say render, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was real. The driveway just looks too perfect for me.

Most difficult choice so far.

I think that's a render as well. But there is doubt there.

Is there anyone who thought that this was a real photo? I'd doubt that there is.

I've used The Gimp. It's very good, but it a separate window for the toolbar and one for the image window. That's massively irritating IMO and one of the major reasons I removed it from my computer.

As well as the already suggested Paint.net, have a look at artweaver and Project Dogwaffle.

Near-misses with road signs, U-turns, parked at ridiculous angles on the road. Is there a reason you are choosing these positions for the renders? The renders and modeling are clearly excellent, I'm just baffled by the choice of the cars positions. I cannot imagine a car magazine ever displaying a car doing these things

I doubt that SU was involved in the animation at all. I'm guessing that CS is custom scenery and that's what SU was used for. IMO the scenery isn't very impressive anyway. It's just an unobtrusive background for the coaster.

Think it needs to lose the air intake at the front, if that's what it is. Looks like a cross between a Beetle and a Smart.

I'd vote against this.

Google doesn't seem to want to put much resources into developing SU. I really don't see how wasting the present resources on converting to linux will help.

Have a chat with the anti-war protester outside the Houses of Parliament.

Go to Chelsea FC's stadium, Stamford Bridge, and take 100s of photographs for use in SU modeling. Put them on flickr.

Go to the top of the Gherkin or Canary Wharf Tower. Not sure if there's public viewing at either, but your mission will be harder if there isn't. Think there's a bar or restaurant at the top of the Gherkin.

Travel through every station on the underground.

Visit every football ground inside the M25.

Watch Harlequins RL play a rugby league match.

Walk across every walkable bridge between Battersea and Tower Bridge's.

Would've thought that would be a pretty simple job for you. Why can't you do it?

I'd like to bump this guys each time I add a new video. I'm not sure how to do that and I'm not sure whether it is appropriate to bump it.....let me know.

Just add the videos in a new post in this thread. And I'd say that it is appropriate.

1. Modo.
2. ZBrush.
3. Mudbox.
4. Cinema4D.

You should perhaps warn people that the hires photo zip is a 135mb download.

Being dyslexic simply isn't an excuse if you are doing this professionally.

There was a recent review in 3D World magazine. The basic conclusion was that SU's Photo Match feature was slightly better than ImageModeler, but ImageModeler had superior texturing.

Have Autodesk just bought this off another firm? I think Imagemodeler has been around for a while. Looks cool though.

Autodesk bought RealViz in the last year or two. ImageModeler and Stitcher were then re-badged as Autodesk products and this latest release is the first update of the programs.

There's also http://www.photomodeler.com/index.htm which might be of interest.
