      @L-i-am

      A lot of those in mid sixties to mid seventies buildings in London have those, South bank exhibition building a standout for concrete and glass.

    • RE: Twinmotion 2025 ecosystem

      I have to concur there, very little use for sharing a model with folk who do not exist. Much like microsnot onedrive removing files from my pc and inviting me to buy extra storage in the cloud or lose access to my files and email. Lots of programs suffering from bloat but the return to simple times, unlikely now.
      Too much invested in hardware/software sales which is a circular arguement if ever I saw one.
      Brings me back to sawing wood, something I would prefer to do than argue with microsnot empoloyee's over why they think it legal or appropriate to steal my files and folders without consent.
      Wow, irritated bar steward mode on or what.......

    • RE: Post diagnosis.

      OK, finally got the onboard graphics online, adopted the classic engine in Sketchup and rebooted. Produced an immediate error in windows which I hope is a transient.

      I think there is an improvement in this image, same view and same render time but 'feels' better. Opinions?

      I would say you hit that nail very squarely on the head.

      I am not much kop when it comes to technical renders or critic thereof. What I look for is atmosphere and yours have gallons of that. These renders and Liam's, make me smile. What more can I ask?

    • Desired Space 2.

      I found myself forgetting to select GPU and decided to showcase the different styles here. The first is the CPU render and the second, much faster render, GPU. Normally the GPU setting would be brighter but not so here.

      Also, the baqckgrouind appears split with differing light levels in the GPU version.

      Yes mate. They look pretty sharp and good test pieces.

    • RE: Old Florida

      Interesting, thought of the day, you could sell these line art items as colouring items/booklets.

      Anything that makes me stop and think I consider good, and this does that, like all of your renders.

      Very sharp and very accurate. Best to you and all or, as Buzz Lightyear say's, "To infinity and beyond".

    • RE: Inspired by...

      A complete kitbash but the 725cc engine is going to be a mare. There was an Austin seven page out the with fair drawings but it seems to have migrated to file 13. I think I will as usual, wing it.

    • RE: Alfa Romeo 4c.

      Not mine sadly, comes from turbosquid, https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/alfa-romeo-4c-960-1631922

      Initial is blender but it has an Autodesk fbx v ersion. Still needs cleaning for Sketchup use but each panel has 2 layers so these can be 'split' and cleaned up with Artisan/sub-d.

      I am trying to get the engine/transmission/chassis details added for a garage scene. Not convinced I can get this to cooperate tbh. File size.
