Just had a play with Ambient Occlusion inside 2024. I did not take much care with the scene.

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

What were your thoughts of "children of Gaza" when they raped and murdered thouthands in November 2023 ? How can you compare 2 situations..

Clarify please

Ah, I just realised that Render was D5

@Rich-O-Brien said in Denver Architecture:

@Gus-R Does Twin Motion allow you control over the shadows softness? Your shadows are super sharp. But the gobos are soft

Shadow control in TM is through the choice of HDRI

It very well could mate. Where did you find that image? I ask because that is my state art gallery in Perth Western Australia, is that coincidence?............mind blown

@L-i-am

I get it mate, context and in a scene with more of the genre would (imho) make for a better discussion piece which is what these game changers are for.

I would dearly like to see this in one of your scene renders because I believe it would be brought to life and we would appreciate it more easily.

Over to you mate, there is, somewhere here - a series of renders of a glass and concrete scene. Perfect for this I believe.

Cheers Mike, always the voice of reason. "Game changer" absolutely mate As for putting it in a scene not sure about that. However if you have seen the movie Bettlejuice it would fit in, and be right at home

I knew this would be divisive Ettore Sottsass is an amazing Archirect/Designer/ Intellectual/futurist. I was gifted a book on this man back in my first year of Art school. He wrote of ordering food and medicine online..................Back in 1974. The lineage of this work goes back to Mondrian arguing with Picasso (they were sharing a studio in 1906) about Picasso not evolving cubism to its ultimate abstraction. Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg and Piet Modrian started the De Stijl movement. And the mondrian painting below is a "landscape" brought about by Mondrian flying over Holland in a bi-plane observing the very ordered fields of tulips. This extended cubism as a concept beyond Picasso's understanding and direction of cubism. through this painting and the red and blue chair........... and from that by extension was born Modernism being dovetailed into architecture, hence "modernist Architecture" and by by extension Post Modernism. Art is like a butterfly flapping its wings in China................. I have been on a rant, sorry, but I find this subject fascinating. Myself and just about every other student hated Art history at art school. Not knowing that it would be such an asset in later life, huge important subject. That piece of furniture is a very clever, considered work. It would not fit in my lounge, and I understand how its aesthetic could offend ( I think Dave R is wondering about his house muttering how he cannot un-see what he has seen )

@Mike-Amos Hey mike, understood, That is a piece designed by Ettore Sottsass. who is an very famous architect intellectual and visionary. He is famous amongst other things is responsible for the movement within the genre of post modernism being the "Memphis movement" movement. He is pretty much a arguably a genius. I realise how this work can be seen as as binary in opinion of aesthetics. I love this it is very brave and confident. If I have to put a value on this work at Sotheby's at 2000.00+ Dollars. I love this work So playful and clever . But not to every bodies taste I am sure, but intellectually the real deal.! Here is my render of it.

Hi thought I would post this as many here are furniture guys. Do not think I have seen any furniture of this genre before on here. Any thoughts? It is getting some love from me. I have started a render am modelling ATM

@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

Nice work Gus By outsourcing do you mean overseas cheap work?

@Rich-O-Brien said in Missy the missing Cat (very funny Mike):

@L-i-am do we know if she found Missy?

Missy was found alive but only just, she was found in the veggie compartment of a beer fridge ( In Australia that is a fridge in the garage just for beers when you have a party or BBQ) she was found alive but with severe hypothermia.
