its just overlaying the line work in pshop... so its honestly a matter of minutes. the modelling/rendering...thats obviously dependent on you and your project!

@marked001 said: broomstick.. you're giving me too much credit. i did this in pshop... but that is actually a great idea An idea that I tried as soon as I saw your renders... to no avail: fog only works "upwards" it seems, and I was not able to replicate the effect you made there. I realized after writing my comment that it was photoshop... Nice images tho, very professional. Sometimes a nice model with clean lines and good colors is enough to convey one's idea

Simple and nice. I don't like entering from asphalt. Would be a good render.

thanks guys!

thanks eric..sorry about that, i really should just start attaching things directly. robert... the process was nothing special.. it was actually rendered in maxwell 1.0 because i already had a scene setup with the lights in the windows, etc.. that plus a little fotosketcher.. with some line overlays in pshop.. plus some fake snow. quick and dirty.

yes..that's the one. i've already requested an obj, he's having difficulty getting them to release the model at all though. thanks for looking into it, pete.

nice jason

Fantastic for pure sketchup output - limited colour palette works really well. Love the design too - bit retro but sleek modern at the same time.

Here's the next in this series, in Chicago... not as good as the first, but... haha. There was supposed to be a third, but unfortunately no finshed images were completed... just the sketchup model. [image: metrov1rev2101310.jpg] [image: metrov2rev1101010.jpg] [image: metrov3rev1101010.jpg]

Hi, Great work! Though, having kids myself, i'd say that the sharp angling tables on the 3rd and 4th picture are quiet scary to me. Especially when you see the little 2d girl's head at the very same level that these hard corners. I'd suggest to push the feet of the tables at their end on their very sides. Thank you for reading my poor english (i'm french by the way )

I like the arrangement of the walking people, looks very natural and of course the heli is nice!

the fountain spray was from FormFonts...and I'd imagine the stone was originally from there as well... have been using it for awhile, in so many things..i forget now.

Nice work, I hope 10.5 hrs of wages equate to something reasonable for you.

love 6th and 7th! great compositions, beauties! inspiring style marked! cheers for posting modeled standing seams looks great glorious details I believe a render hybrid with this style would look fantastic

I could't see your design.

@marked001 said: yeah, you're right richard...looking at it again..its just so hard to find a good, big wood texture i'll be back soon with the next one. Making them out of others in PS is often as quick as searching mate!

Mate you really do have this style absolutely nailed. You've managed a really nice consistancy which is always the hardest thing to achieve!! Well done!
