    • RE: Hot Rod

      OK, local emergencies aside, some time to look into moving this forwards and hoo nose, finish it maybe. I will have to change up the dragon and some geometry is proving to challenge rolled marbles.

    • RE: A Car Park (again!)

      For such a mundane topic, you ALWAYS have a way of turning it into something of interest and worthy of a look or twenty. Very nicely done.

    • RE: Beauties of Iran (other face of Iran)

      Thanks for that, Majid. Positive, life affirming posts are always welcome. With the events around the world as they are, lift the spirit.

      You made my day today.

    • RE: Rayscaper New Releases

      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.

    • RE: Bell keeps telling me 'You have updates' but update list is empty.

      I am seeing the same thing.

      I knew that Sketchucation tools and Rayscaper had updates but, despite the alert on the dialogue box, nothing showing in the update particulars section of the page. The bell is obviously on the top of the dialogue box.

      No hardship to update the items manually.

    • Hot Rod

      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.

      As inspiration goes, it does not come better. Nicely done, Majid. Stay well out there.

    • RE: Another small plot.

      OK, had an issue with what seemed to be lost textures but, was a return to back face issues. Something I have not seen for a while now. Probably a Rayscaper issue but not the end of the world, I usually check these things as a rule. This one bloody unit was an import and I missed the use of back face in one cabinet door.

      Anyway, the downstairs is cramped but not really that tight when seating is deflated/stored and the folding dining table/chairs can be brought out for a meal with friends.

      A drop down cinema type screen for film night with snacks easily catered for.

      Hot water is as designed via a Quooker type system to save space and improve economy.

      Heating via passive home and possibly a ground pump but passive should not need that really. Shower is electric and solar panels on the roof to power it. A pull out drawer under the stairs for batteries.

      No boiler, gas or electric will save space and energy uptake.

      I am considering uploading the bare bones as a challenge but, more on that later.

    • Another small plot.

      I had a theory about small plots but sadly, I lost it........

      This design is one which keeps cropping up with me, variations anyway. The sort of property which COULD be used for single/dual occupancy, maybe a holiday let for a couple.

      I HATE designs which skimp on bathrooms as I know how difficult it is to manage with them so, a full bathroom with room to swing a mouse is a MUST.

      Kitchens a different issue where small is fine if it is efficient.

    • RE: Sci-Fi Throne Room

      It is a very sharp render, as usual.

      I must admit to a little trepidation on opening the thread, due to the terminology. Where I come from a "Throne room" is a different fish. I might run off a simple render to demonstrate and a laugh or two.

    • RE: Sketchucation Tools 5.0.4

      Moving all toolbars in a new project (No model) and saving as a template usually works for me New tools, new template.

    • RE: A Shaving Mirror

      It is a very fine piece, the things we end up with. I have two of my grandfathers straight razors and a carriage clock I have no idea how I came into possession of. I tried the straight razor once for curiosity but, never again.
