      Hi L i am, I did see that list of high achieving individuals and that makes me feel better. I find 3D very easy as well as space planning like 2D CAD. I remember in 8th grade that I scored top of my class in a particular end of grade State test for space/shape awareness. The test had 3D objects and we had to choose with unfolded shape matched the 3D shape as well as other similar questions. I made good grades in school, A's and B's for the most part. I actually did better in Spanish than I did in English πŸ˜‰ I did manage to obtain 2 college degrees, an Associate in Architecture (2 year) and a BS in Civil Engineering. I still find it a struggle even today to manage with my short comings. I have to type out an e-mail and then re-read it to make sure that all of the sentences make sense and aren't missing words and such. Sometimes I still find I missed something. I work at a private University and we had a directors retreat last year and we had to go around the room and call out our biggest weakness. I claimed that I could not spell, at all. I followed up by thanking God that I could draw. πŸ˜‰

      Hey Glenn, that sounds exactly like my history. I left school at 15 due to my dislexia. I later in life, came top of my class completing a degree in Industrial Design, I have been working in the roll of Landscape Architecture and expect my Landscape Architeceture qualifications to be formalised very soon. dislexia is a sometimes frustrating gift πŸ‘ πŸ˜‰

    • RE: Notre dame

      Hi Mike, it is a universally accepted fundimental principle of heritage Architecture. The principal was formed to serve the community. I am not saying the answer would be a glass roof, but I am sure the principal would and should apply. The derogitory term for trying to rebuild it "as was" is reffered to as "pastiche"

      Oh I forgot to say that is awsome work Jo-ke πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘

    • RE: Notre dame

      I personally would not support allowing the event to be errased by a like for like rebuild. The event should be embeded and read into the timeline of the building. I think it would be criminal to rebuild it would damage the timeline integrity. That is not just my opinion but a universaly accepted fundimental principle of heritage Architecture BTW. and frankly Majid with your qualifications I am at a loss to understand how you do not get that.

    • RE: New York Rooftop

      Dddddddddd.jpgHi Gary, I have as a last resort tried to explain with an example image which was thrown together. If this does not explain it I really do not know what will. Somthing else I do not understand is why you did not respond to comments by amending your existing images like the artist studio instead of completely doing another from scratch with the same elephant in the room faults. Anyway hope this hasty example enlightens

      (Edited) Oh I forgot to add your materials use has improved a lot πŸ‘

      I honestly think that I might a bit. I have ALWAYS been a horrible speller. I sometimes, either typing or writing, put words in a sentence out of order or drop words altogether.

      That sounds like my grade 5 school report πŸ˜‰

    • RE: Dyslexia question

      @mike amos said:

      I think you are confusing dyslexia with autism. There are many on the autistic spectrum (Some say we are ALL on it somewhere) who have the common title of 'Savant' or 'Sauvant' which is a situation where the subject does not have the "I cannot do that" switch. Something that prevents many of us achieving our potential.

      Hi Mike, being dyslexic myself I have a fair understanding of the difference between dyslexia and autism and the "Savant" syndrome. I asked the question because I have 2 friends who are dyslexic and are very good designers and extremely good at anything 3D. A short list of some high achieving indeviduals:

      Pablo Picasso, Albert Einstein, Richard Branson, Steven Spielberg, Steve Jobs, Ludwig van Beethoven, Agatha Christie, Winston Churchill, Ingvar Kamprad (IKEA}....................

      My only request was to, as I said:) find a correlation between 3d and dyslexia as a kind of survey to satisfy my curiosity πŸ˜‰

      Great advice from Andy. A well detailed model is the bedrock of a good render.

      John

      Yeah, I had the same hurdle to overcome. I was finally sort of mastering the tools, but my models just did not have enough details. Something I still forget sometimes.

      Also gary, the scale of you objects seem off. Try using exact measurements for your objects. I think you'll be very pleased with your results!

      Keep up the good work! You are constantly improving and you are farther ahead than I was at your stage.

      Could not agree more with that Bryan, and Gary I do hope you show the result if you take up the sugestions. I think you will find it valuable. It is all those little things at the end that make a good render. I also sugest reference materials such as images of real studios are also of value πŸ‘

      @donnewtype said:

      Both images make me want to live in the house, but the second one seems more natural, late afternoon, early evening during the summer or maybe early September. Brilliant work though.

      Thank you, I find it difficult to choose at the end, "forrest for the trees" syndrome. will try to use Criterion Architecture's suggestion about a more over exposed sky when I get a chance to see what that does for it πŸ‘

    • RE: Ward Bennett chair complete

      Nice work David πŸ‘ Not sure that your objective was the render quality. But as a render the
      (fabric?) mapping is not good. Can I suggest that you remove the mapping Sketchup created and then replace the mapping with the same (or other material) in your renderer. I do not know what renderer you are using but doing that should map your material correctly πŸ˜‰

    • RE: Exterior render no post render work

      Thanks Bryan! and agreed I find Raylectron is a bit like sketchup in that it is more powerfull than seems at first. I bet you are hanging out for V5 as well. I believe they have started from scratch on a completely new platform. It is a long time comming though but thats OK I think they learnt a lesson from releasing the earlier versions (V2 and V3) permaturely. But V4.95 rocks!

      Nice work and a worthy cause πŸ‘ Something I do not understand though wouldn't the lower cross member impede the wheelchair? Or does that accommodate the required reach?

      Fair enough Dave, between the time I posted and now I kind of came to the same conclusion as you did, It was just initially counter intuitive;)
