Issues with lights and adding them etc continue but still early days yet and much to attend to in future builds . No doubt all will be well in time.

Rendered with Rayscaper which is still in beta, just so you know folks.

Going to be a LOT better in a while now.

Apologies for being on the slow go.

I have to agree with everything you said, changing little by little. Baby steps because my system is so flaky and I never know just what will make it chuck chips on my desk.

Getting better finish via Affinity photo now to but one thing at a time. I like animals in case nobody noticed.

Well, the layout is definitely derivative.

I find that my method of modelling creates a few issues with Rayscaper render so I shall have to look into new mthods with each floor level a group and lights outside of these.

There are a number of artifacts which come and go to an extent. The tops of the walls and the floor texture have a dark weblike appearance which I suspect has to do with light levels.

Otherwise a case of moving on a little by little, test and redo.

OK, a few issues with textures and reference data for the cars. Back to an old model (2014 I think).
Useful for testing render programs, worked well with Twilight and Maxwell so seeing how Rayscaper does with it.
Some materials are not getting through to Rayscaper but I will move this along as and when.

Ee bah Gummy chaps. No wiser to softening the light tbh but as far as entourage goes......

Good nooz. Nice to know you are happy with the next step.

A good HDRI for car renders, used it many times. For some reason the flames in V1 are given a emiter quality it was not given and in any case the transparency does not come across as yet. SHadow catcher for the HDRI which is just a plane not up either but shadows not apparent without. Future releases perhaps or a workaround.

Not done very much but aswsign a few texture finishes, lighting exposure to come as will a few lights.

Twilight render version.

Yes, done quite a few like that with consideration to tread depth etc. Something that makes better use of these is the Quooker tap/faucet. You can do away with a kettle and get chilled drinking water from the same sauce. Sorry, my sense of humour button got stuck in the "on" position.

Personally, I would rather have the 'kitchen' done like this than a toilet bathroom adaptation. Never did like the idea of showering too close to the bidet in case I fell in. I know, Sorry, something must have snagged my numerous.......

Looking to try this in the old render machine.

Cracking results, Mr Kipling (Gus), Sir. Love 'em.

Looks fantastic mate.

I know I am a Philistine when it comes to this sort of thing but, what on earth is the 'reputation' thing about?

A great subject you have there, with you eye for detail it is going to be interesting for sure.

It would be better with Kylie Minogue on it tho'.......

Brilliant and hugely motivating. Bra and indeed vo.
