Great modelling and lighting. The metal materials are insanely good

@Rich-O-Brien Nah you will have to book your own flight, I will pick you up from the airport though, and buy you a beer or two here......

Basically what others have said with the addition of watching some beginners tutorials on you tube of which there are many, of just have a go, when you get stuck ask a question if you get stuck. We have all been beginners so we get it

I have always been so impressed with your work alvis, amazing Pardon my ignorance but are you using subD for the modelling?

@Rich-O-Brien said in Mid Mod Chest:

Will look yummy in a studio render!

Agreed bigly

Looks like my version of idyllic. Fantastic to see so thanks for sharing.

Cheers Mike (My emoji thingy has stopped working}

Very, very nice indeed

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!

Overall pretty good I would suggest moving the texture on the island the grain is duplicated on the end and side.I would dress up the island a bit also with a bread board with cheese or other item. Perhaps a glass bowl with fruit. Maybe something in the foreground perhaps a dinning table with flowers in a vase or something. Perhaps an open magazine on the table. I print on the wall that I have painted in white. Maybe some cacti or plats on the windowsill.
Maybe experiment with depth of field on the dining table in the foreground.

l have attached an image suggesting a better composition as there is too much empty space on the bottom right.

Just suggestions

@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.

Here is the resultant render. I used the painting to compliment the top dryer colour and put some clothes in the dryer if you look carefully. I think the composition is better also

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.

@Rich-O-Brien said in TM sketchup interior:

@L-i-am I like this version. The bathroom only diverted my eye.

Plant needs some work but lighting is a vibe. Good job

You were correct about the plant but I attached the wrong image that time

@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.

@Gus-R Yes that is quality work mate. I have some work coming up for a Government sports pavilion. So seems Government may be an avenue. As far as rendering and modelling goes I have a concept of Art creation which may be original. Yes it is a shame about AI and the feeling of having redundant skills. I have no idea of what part AI will play in Archvis, that is yet to bee seen. One upside though is we have least have a passion and skills/hobby/interest............and that is gold, perhaps not in a monetary sense

From a Ukrainian artist

How absolutely touching and poignant
that image is, starts me thinking of the children in Gaza also, I can only shake my head

Great work Gus, such a convincing image, loving it Partical systems for the smoke?
