Ahh, I mis-read it. I thought there was a troll by the church...

Absolutely lovely John. Reminds me of Beverley and the Minster. Looking forward to seeing the tut.

This is probably a ridiculously stupied question but how do I get the ivy leafs to actually show up?! What am I doing wrong?!

If you get time some day I'd love to see your process, maybe a screen capture or pdf tutorial would be awesome and so helpful to many.

Lovely render, John. Very evocative. Is the last image all Photoshop work?

A beautiful machine, I'm very jealous indeed. What a great wife, too.

OK, the half marathon is in two weeks today, so the last big run will be on Wednesday where I hope to do a 12 miler. Have done 11 and 10 miles previously so should be OK.

My 3 peak challenge is in 4 weeks, too.

We did the Yorkshire 3 Peaks walk yesterday as a training exercise - absolutely gruelling.

25 miles, 9.5 hours and 1600m of ascent. Can hardly move today. It was just about worth it though.

Now I know how you've so much time to produce these renders

Another beauty John, didn't know you were so adept at interiors! Would love it if you could post up the SU model for this.

Now, lights out!

Superb, as usual, John.

Really inspiring.

Would love to see the image you worked off, if you have it?

Wow, great bit of software Wish I could afford it!

Awesome. I would love to shelter from the rain and have a giant hamburger in there.

Last render is superb, nice work! Photoshop?

Looks superb. Thanks for the heads up.

Great stuff, as usual John. Where/what was your inspiration for this one?

Thanks for posting up the SU too, I always find them really helpful/interesting.

Yes.

Awesoooooooooome.

Just thinking ....

Does this work in conjunction with the textures associated bump map, too??

Love admiring your renders, John. Another top effort. IS that SU brick material, too?!

Maybe a bit too modern for the Shambles.

Thanks Todd.

I have the utmost respect for your wife with all those halves and full marathons under her belt, I watched the London marathon on tv on Sunday and was in awe of everyone I saw. Amazing stuff.

I gotta get myself one of those t-shirts too!

Hey Gai,

Great tutorial (and great plugin). This may be a silly question, but does this technique work when you want to apply bump maps for rendering, do you know?

Thanks.

Gai has a tutorial here using Thomthom's UV Toolkit: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=299717#p299717 ...might be a little faster than individual mapping

Works brilliantly, thank you.

And thanks to Gai for a great tut (although could maybe do with explicit instructions in post #1 for smoothing the subdivisions?).
