Going back to motors again, this is the latest Kitbash from older components/models.

Essentially a clay render for fit.

I know, VERY early but this is an Evermotion model I had to try.

This is a Rayscaper render.

OK, still moving on with the build. Sketchup diffusion threw a few wobblies after an update went south. Rayscaper still on it.

The colour is antique white from the skp standard collection, looking to see if I keep the pbr collection, not keen tbh.

I still have questions to answer with technique but basic setup seems to be done. High Quality selected in Rayscaper Render.

View number one-

OK, not sleeping sometimes has a positive side to it, thought a bit on an old model 'rod and added a few new elements.

I am noticing that Rayscaper does not always update elements, groups/components as It should but a restart of Rayscaper sorts that right off the bat so NOT a problem.

I have mentioned Maxwell render before, used it to probably not its best but IMHO, Rayscaper beats Maxwell render hands down, NOW, let alone the future.

My big fascination which I am sure you will get, is cars. Ever since I could hold a pencil. Steve, I owe you for inspiring me to never give up with your talent and humility. Thank you, Sir.

I 'tagged in' because I saw a decent guy who is having to say the least, not the best time of it unfair criticism. The comments that ebbed around that were imho, OTT.

I went too far for which I apologise. Allow for none of us having the best week going.

Sorry folks, have a great weekend and stay well out there.

I think he is talking about Blender 4 Artists which has a slightly different take on the interface, simplified basically.

Looks like my version of idyllic. Fantastic to see so thanks for sharing.

I cannot call it smart because it does not go online to order teabags and milk etc. Skynet would get it's power shut off if it tried.

I think a bit of a bump surface will help at some stage but will have to find something subtle for that.

Magic mate, another smile maker.

I think he is doing a great job tbh. No complaints.

@L-i-am

Sorry to hear that 'load' you carry mate.

It seems big business is too big on 'we can do this' and not big enough on 'should we do this'.

A bit like the micro plastic beads in cosmetics being found in the food chain and now in human bodies.

Some good news is that more and more cancer viarieties are being 'lived' with. I know of two others with prostate cancer who are going to have a so called normal lifespan, they just have to share their carcass with cancer.

Might not be a cure but if it does not prevent us living our lives, it is a fair compromise.

We used a chemical cleaning agent years ago, just plastic gloves and a paper mask (Which had asbestos in them then) and we were told it was fine. By the time I stopped working in hospitals, this agent was only permited to be used in exclusion tanks with hoods and controlled filtered ventilation due to it being carcinogenic. How many more 'problems' which were known then, are we not hearing about.

When I visited the flat I now live in to inspect and sign the contract, I looked at the smashed up tiles on the floor, with dust everywhere and said. "Those things look like asbestos". "No". I had to have a floor laid over the top because haig refused to fix the floor. They have now admited the tiles ARE asbestos and so is the dust that was floating around.

I suppose the fact is that chemicals do not harm people when handled correctly, human ignorance and stupidity do.

@L-i-am

The art museum has some interesting gelleries, perhaps this item would work well in that setting?

For Architecture preference.

I must admit to being more than a little biased here, Majid's contributions in this department have been extremely helpful. Personally, I would like to see all the finish items from twilight included in Rayscaper, they would much improve the goal of simplicity with speed.

NASA are being gutted, stand by Musk? Not that friends are favoured in any way. Remind anyone of putins actions?

Cooler here today, picking at a favourite topic, cars.

This Porsche 356 Carrera comes from the Sketchup texture club. It took/will take a fair bit of cleaning up for render within Sketchup but it is a solid, quality model.

This model was made by Fred and left on the Twilight render forum, thought I would dust it down, give it some air in Rayscaper.

@B2Pi

G'day Troll.

Treating you OK in that hotel with comfortable wallpaper?

Nice Smarties?

Good.
