i see. thank you Jason.

Another Holiday Gem. Nice work Jason.

thanks guys....good advice all around. i know i skimped on the interior..was hoping it would be brighter and kind of wash it all out.. too much of a rush on it as usual

@marked001 said: thanks for the help guys, i've actually gone back to a white studio background now.. and i've got one more question. I've got everything setup and looking good in the interactive rendering of the viewport.. but then when i render in darkroom.. lighting, etc is different and not looking anywhere near the same.. camera, f stop, etc are all set the same.. any ideas of what i'm doing wrong?? There can be differences between IR and the darkroom, usually differences are not that dramatic. Without knowing exactly what's going on, it's hard to give definite answer. For example if you use progressive BSD (biased rendering) in IR with ambient occlusion & light, result can be different to the darkroom with TR2 (unbiased render) or vice versa. I think we better continue in detail in Thea Render forum. http://www.thearender.com/forum/

photomatch.... and adjust your sketchup viewport to be the same aspect ratio as the photo.. this helps quite a bit...

can't wait until some materials get on this, so it can stop looking so clunky. [image: HZpp_ViewED_20140218c.JPG] [image: Ws3b_ViewEEp_20140225.JPG]

50 years mood!

i have a feeling the realistic shot will probably end up being more difficult than these.. unfortunately, this project is now on hold while the client gets his finances in order and finalizes his lease... or so the 'story' goes

Great work Jason, not as great as your previous works but with that tight deadline I think you deliver a good work... There is really not enough time for real production for clients and always not good enough you have to give your best and hopefully the client will like it. Most of the time they don't, even though everyone tells you that your work is Great. allanx

..if I come across one in my travels on the interwebs.. I'll pass it on

yeah yeah...verticals. [image: eisensteinbedv2072611co.png] roger.. How to get rid of blotches SU Podium V2 presets are calibrated to be as fast as possible. Unfortunately, some imperfections such as blotches or unexpected corner shadowing will sometimes appear in the rendered image. These anomalies can appear quite randomly especially on non-texture pale surface, corners and low polygon geometry scenes. Those imperfections are caused by the lower quality and precision of the Podium V2 preset. QMC presets are made especially to overcome this issue. But the cost is a substantially slower rendering time. QMC presets can also produce a more grainy image. To overcome the graininess of QMC presets, it is recommended that you render at a higher pixel resolution than you need and re size the image after it is completed. This will solve most of the current blotches and artifices. If they are still appearing with the QMC presets, please contact us. http://suplugins.com/help-faq-v2-2.php#blotches

Mark, Excellent touch!!! I wish I can get my landscaping to turn out as nice as yours on the outdoor space i'm working on. Are those 3d plants or images or both? Keep posting!

Excellent! Looks like my kind of place.

..and the exterior, which didn't come out great... mostly because I just clicked render...haha.. the focus of this meeting is interior, so I'll come back to these later on.. [image: yeoret1062811.png] [image: yeoret2062811.png]

If you had not pointed it out, I would have thought they were photos.

Well done Jason, thanks for that.

Excellent Work.....

NIce, very cool. Would not mind sticking that on the deck of my helicarrier!
