With the light averaging in Renditioner I think I have reached the limit of adjustment. In PSE I got this, could go further but as with anything PSE there is a certain magic in the madness and I just do not have that switched on yet.

Really great, thanks for showing how to.

Paper models make plastic types look exorbitantly expensive hence this of the DO X.

Thanks Rich, the odd light area comes from (I think) the desk light reflecting off the bookcase on the right side. The monitor is an emitter but Renditioner does not allow adjustment of emitter surfaces, I will play with light types, like a spot with low power and a wide beam directed over the shoulder of the camera set point

I have used night lighting and that is IT for globals, a bit of finessing may be an idea though, thanks for that. The monitor IS being used as a light source, I may reduce the desk light (out of shot) a bit to soften the light from that direction. The DO X is one of the aircraft I was fascinated in when I was a boy, how COULD something that big, with so little power, get off the water?????

No, NOT my office, mine is a far humbler 6' X 8' and just about holds the desk and computers. Thanks PB, appreciated.

I enlarged the view area and moved a few things about. Steam from the coffee cup in PSE but sharpened in Irfanview.

A shed type office in the garden, the hovel in the background is smaller than my palatial abode but what can one do? I know the scene could do with books on the shelf and a few knick knacks but Renditioner and sketchup V14 run out of ram.

The computer screen has a light emitter and there is one table light out of shot to the right, a quite low res render.

Thanks, very kind of you.

The frog is most definitely back and with a bang. Very cool job John, as always masterful.

Seriously cool, nice mate.

.........and I thought riding a horse gave a person a sore posterior. Cobbles, no thanks, ouch!

Fantastic stuff mate.

"Can't afford one…".

It's a big club mate, a very nice start though, looking forward to the finished article.

I thought I was looking at screen grabs from the film, Steve, you perform wonders mate. Who needs rendering when someone can export from sketchup the way you manage to, simply stunning and a great example to anyone wishing to learn the art.

While I understand the need for creativity and individualism, I do ask myself 'why'?

It must have been a nightmare to lay the bricks on that job

I would say the latest model is an M8 Greyhound, an American WWII armoured car.

Intriguing idea but way beyond what I use a PC for.

Nice, done well.

Your tank models are brilliant mate, this one just keeps the standard going with just the right level of detail. Brilliant.

Very nice renders and a great project, good luck to you.
