@l i am said: Thanks Rich, I do not fully understand what you mean When you say my model is not set up for the tweaking you suggest. Are you saying bevel all corners? and also the sugested variations. I do not see much lattitude for that in this model, could you explain further please/ Look at the mesh density. The fencing has tons of geometry but doesn't feature in the render. The walls, doors, windows are all one piece. Its just not setup to work with easily. Nothing in the world is 100% sharp at the corners. But trying to go in and add bevels now is just a chore and time consuming. I suppose what I am saying is the basic model is lacking geometric detail which makes it hard level up. The lights have 13k entities but the house has 1.3k entities. Not saying the house should have more than the light but there's a massive gap in detail that stands out to me. The pavers if you slightly rotate them in random directions by less than 1deg and vary the height will cause light to hit them differently. Just subtle little adjustments that are common in the real world.

This is a sketch concept of the basic superstructur of streesed concrete. I am sure it is over engineered and would need a pretty serious flexable joint. I must add that I usually do not support unsafe work practice [image: Ll7u_Sml.jpg]

@marked001 said: I'm a big proponent of 2 point perspective.. so I like the first better Thanks for your opinion. It is interesting that when I posted the image (Parrellism on) in trimble forum somebody critisised, saying it did not look good because it did not have 3 point pesective and took the time to post images showing the concept of two point and 3 point pespective ( concepts I fully understand) I would appreciate the comment from others on this. Might just be personal peception I don't know

Thanks for sharing. It is both hilarious and sad. So many basics that should be included instead of messing with things like the icons.

Both can be imported. Skimp would be a good paid option as it traps or missing missing relative texture links. Other the OBJ importer included in QuadFace Tools

Well gone.

Excellent work as always.

Thanks guys

@mike amos said: I had a go at this. https://www.promeai.com/blender Use an image from the Alfa 33. It would be better if the AI merely afjusted the light rather than buggering the textures though. I think that most if not all Ai Image programs allow for comtrol over how much it can change materials

Here is a link to the Raylectron Free SketchUp Plugin which by itself is very interesting (more details). Thanks for finding this L I am.

You would have had to save the file at least once to get a .skb backup file generated. If you never did that, no file will exist.

Thanks Mike and Bryan

Cheers boofredlay nice pick up's I always appreciate constructive criticism

@mike amos said: Top notch, one of my top ten renders this year so far. high praise indeed Mike, thanks

Sorted, thanks Dave
