Hi Bryan, you can get trees in Globe plants in SKP format. I would suggest low poly or the use of skimp. At that istance the low poly Globe trees are very good

My City
I live in Perth Western Australia. My City is all grown up now, it being a sleepy town when I was a kid. All these images are from within 15 Kms from the CBD. Perth is the only big city in a radius of over 2,000 kilometres, it is often called the "most isolated big city in the world" I am posting to share my City. If anybody wishes to come and visit I will buy you a beer

RE: Bremer bay house render
@gus r said:
Looks great, L i am. I seem to be doing a lot of free renderings as well lately. Mostly for practice. Sometimes I show it to the architect I do drafting for and doesn't go further than that. I guess after outsourcing we're all just waiting for AI to take over the universe. IMO most of the AI "art" I've seen looks like an illustration for the cover of a supermarket romance novel.
Thanks Gus Bryan and Mark I just found out the potential client is an Australian/London Lawyer and the Architect has told me that if the renders sell the house (Long story) I will get paid for my work. As far as AI goes, I think it works, to whatever degree for ideation and 3D "art" but for Arcvis is is mot a contender ATM.

RE: Fancy brickwork generator?
Thanks Rich, I am aware of the post by Gus R (Thanks Gus) And had a look at the link. I think that is all new brickwork and I am intersested in some more heritage buildings

RE: My City
Hey Thomas, the economic driver is mining, Iron ore, gas, Lithium. Alumina, Nickel, Base metals, gold, Mineral sands, coal, diamonds as well as the pearling industry. Seems to be a bit boom and bust on a 5 year cycle. WA seems to attract a lot of millionaires from around the world due to the lifestyle and climate which is Mediterranean. The state of Western Australia is 4 time the size of Texas, so we giggle a bit when we hear how Texans brag about the size of Texas. The fishing is great. and to the North we have more coral than the great barrier reef it is just more spread out. Agriculture is also very big. As is our Universities that attracts a lot of overseas students. We have the radio telescope in the world with 130,000 two-metre-tall, Christmas tree-shaped antennas. It is quite expensive to live here but the wages are relatively high, but generally inline with the rest of Australia.

Bremer bay house render
I got some architects drawings of a house about to be built by the Ocean in the south coast of Western Australia. It has a very particular landscape and flora. Was very hard to reproduce modelled in SU and rendered in TM.

Fancy brickwork generator?
Hi, I have attached an image of a window within an arch. I would like to know if there are any brickwork editors. I think I saw a post on this forum and from memory it seemed like it covered this issue. Does anybody know of such an app?

Twinmotion is free from late April
Hi, have some great news for some. Twinmotion is free from late April this year. I have done my due diligence and it seems to be true. It has no watermark or resolution limits. I am sooo happy with this I know that D5 Render put at least 50 Million into its development so it would be interesting be a fly on the wall at D5 HQ right now

RE: Bremer bay house render
I have been working on a house from Bremer bay in SW Australia. It has very particular vegetation. It is of a house that is going to be built, but I am doing the renders for free, as no renders of the house were required by the client. Anyway it gives me a go working from Architects drawings. I really like this image.

@L-i-am Great news! In the last months, I've been doing some renders with Lumen so it's really nice to have Twinmotion for free.
Cheers @alsomar, you can output 8K and if you tile render you can go all the way to 64, crazy:

RE: Bremer bay house render
A re-hash of the prior image. I took more time with the vegetation and it is looks 100% like the actual sand and flora. I love the composition of this.

RE: PFAS chemical exposure (Heads up)
Cheers Mike, Just found out that PFAS was also used in cosmetics! On the positive side, my application being fast tracked. It is truly remarkable that my application needs a medical report from my hospital I was told it would take between 5 and 9 weeks to compile. When they found out it was under the fireman's scheme I received it in one and a half weeks and it was 239 pages long! The Government is paying all my medical bills including covering all my transport to and from hospital and to my doctors. I am being treated with a lot of respect. Even If I need a psychologist they will cover it uncapped. Go Australia!

RE: Genius small house
@pixelcruncher I think, by the look of it Scaling with the car it looks about right, plus the fact that it was modelled by an Architect I think it would be to scale. Sorry for not posting a screenshot I thought the link could be seen by anyone.

RE: Bremer bay house render
@Rich-O-Brien The tree exist on the site and are size and species correct. so had to put them in for the client as they will be part of the aesthetic.

RE: Genius small house
@Mike-Amos said in Genius small house:
It's a heck of a topic and has been for a long while. Containers are a far better emergency housing for natural disaster victims too, easily shipped wherever they are needed and consider the middle east earthquake of not long ago, better for the people than the plastic/canvas tentage so often seen.
I believe it is easy to go too small when looking at this question and the container idea, not only valid but brilliant re-use, re-purpose, recycle material. Refurbing a used container that would be scrapped, how cheap is that? Far more of a solution than other ideas and with good thinking, serviceable for years or decades.
Cheers Mike I agree with every word of that. in this particular design is the stairs could be slide out drawers (for instance} And the beauty of the container material apart from surface rust (if left untreated) It will never rust further, any never rust through.. Insulation is an important consideration though.

Finished snowy lane render
Re-did the prior render and changed out the lamps. Seemedย the glass in the now deleted lamps was the issue with fireflies. Each new lamp has an emitter as the globe/flame and each one has an omni lamp with a valueย of 3 lm. 1000 ampleย 14 bounces. for the render. I think it is now finished (I hope)

RE: Genius small house
@Rich-O-Brien said in Genius small house:
Wonder how these manage high winds/storms etc?
I think the sturdiness of shipping containers is where the benefits lie. They travel the oceans.
This is a quote, one of many items online about this subject "Container homes are engineered to stand their ground against strong winds. The sturdy steel construction of shipping containers provides a robust framework that can resist powerful gusts"
I know what you mean though. There is potential for wind to get under the structure. Would be a simple task to get a structural engineer to draw up some specs' These containers have A twistlock or twist lock, on each corner just attach suitable footing to these I am sure the structural integrity would be up to the task.
