@lrsuser said: @focpt said: Excellent lighting, and I like how the entourage doesn't distract from the subject (building). One thing that bothers me is the perspective, the vertical lines on the building all aren't vertical. Maybe try two point perspective. The three point perspective bugs me as well...almost always. Though I believe that Podium cant render a two point perspective. Thanks for your comments! ~e True Podium does not render 2point perspective but you can do lens correction in photoshop. Just quick try....literary less than a minute. [image: N8jg_03a.png]

I think it looks great. I wish I could do as well. That said, I would suggest less pavement in forground, if possible. The tree on the right is too stylized for the rest of the picture.

That seems like a program fault to me. You could get the blackout effect by setting the wrong custom time zone in the Location dialog in Model Info, but that wouldn't explain why the time slider and time readout are giving different times. They ought to be inextricably linked.

thanks! should have looked around...

great ! but how long it takes you render that scene ? I heard that Indigo (and Maxwell) is very SLOW

@nick w said: I feel like the sky, lighting, overall tone is a little drab. Nothing wrong with that in and of itself, I just like a happy sky Very nice work. my two cents And some "happy trees". Nice work Irsuser.

Tom, ...yes something like that. Thanks for the ideas! Best, ~e like your new avatar..btw

thanks Eric! I think I can use one of those.

those are looking good, how long have you been using Indigo? looks like you have it figured out.

thats some pretty nice stuff, the chandalier looks very surreal, i wonder if oyu could make it work for real EDIT: just sw the picture you based the chandilier on

thank you for the response. I'll fiddle with the trial version of LT over the weekend.

Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on Indigo, updates look promising. I might be getting an old Dell Precision Workstation 530 MT that I'll use as a spare machine to solely do renders. It only has one Xeon CPU (1.7 GHz) ATM, space for another, however I think it'll be quite difficult to source a CPU to fill the second ATM, not to mention some RDRAM (Rambus rimms) as it only has 512MB.

wow soapskinbubble eh?...that absolutely worked for me...Thanks a ton!

thanks for the link ... for those interested in more sketchup work,you can download the construction drawings on each project page...lots of interesting stuff. also there was a good coverage of this exhibition on both treehugger.com and inhabitat.com if you want to see more pics ...

awesome! P: lrsuser

SaWasDee Krab! and Thank you very Big
