oh yeah, that was another thing i tried to do... made an mxi with darkened edges on that sign..and a few stripes, which i think i should have done opposite of what i did, but whatever. thanks for your help...really up'd the quality of the image.

fan "bloody" tastic i stand in aw and applaud you brilliant work

This one is kind of a stretch....definitely not as cool of a composition as the first....but, it will serve its purpose i guess. i will do a workflow write up soon... [image: ncccafev1020609mg1.jpg]

come on...there's a drumset and some amps! thats got to give it away here is an update with white painted brick... the other brick was really cool...buuut, since this is for a zoning hearing, the architect doesnt want it to look 'too' raw even though it probalby really will be... and trying some more realistic people, what do you think about them? (yes, some odd placements....threw them in too quickly) [image: 1750nfrontgroundrev3012ou5.th.jpg]

Yeah, the method I shows totally falls apart when you have different things that you want to update in each scene. You have to do that manually for sure. what I hate the worst is when I need to change layers on and off over lots of scenes That makes me cry. Chris

I'm waiting on stuff from october and november... oh well, maybe i'll get the results for my last 3 exams at the same time! haha... fail, fail, fail..

nice...that first one is very cool. diamonds are definitley blinging in all of them...care to share that first HDRI? i've added a bunch of individual emitters to my scene and i think the diamonds are picking up the light much better. [image: bachain4qv8.th.jpg]

Jason, Your little image is about the only thing to warm this Scrooge's cockles (the heart kind) this year. Did you know there's a Lego Bible? [image: _45243297_lastsupper_466.jpg] Merry Christmas, Peter

haha..fair enough...i'll take the title.. i can only render things when i get paid to render them..haha.. very little free time that said, i'm working on a xmas card model to render right now.. 'for fun' technically

since i never included an image, and the untextured image doesnt necessarily make it look too good [image: kci102708ax9.th.jpg]

have not actually ever tried kerky.... i'm pretty limited in time/motivation to learn new programs....haha...and there's oh so many out there that i'd like to play with.

i 'think' i understand all of that, modelhead i'll give it a try when i get some time..thanks so much for the explanation... appreciate it..

yeah, amazingly there are...no idea why, how, or who is financing them...haha.. this one is going to be in southern new jersey, i think..

Very nice work Jason.

thanks phil...good point. hopefully in actuality, the components will be similar in color and blend and not make it so complex.... updated these a bit and added a couple of options for a smaller sign as well.. have to wait now for the powers that be to meet and discuss..

hi Jason I liked much of the model.

no..i had figured it out.. and now i cant remember what it was... haha.. i think the image map in the sketchup file was rotated 90 degrees...but the image linked in the mxm was not....'something' like that.. it was all user error

simagenes good, maybe too much noise in both, and I think it could well a little more reflection on the floor, greetings

looks like a lot more of the original design intention got carried over in the second set the renders give a great representation of the character of the future space though
