@alex luu said: oh, nice design nomer! and the lighting is great! very realistic^^ haha thanks alex.. edson ask him. he is a pure vietnamese and open design all these modern buildings here..

i actually like the way podium retain the sketchup texture. so projecting images + texture positioning is really great ease. yeah thanks frederivk for liking those last images.

thanks guys for you comments.

PS stefan. jsut a quick one. although, i am doing some now with vray itself.

yes, Juju, I think you are right - the jpp tool is the best way to achieve this at the moment. you just have to make sure to choose "keep original faces" (right click > additional options), which I allways forget the first time

thanks guys for your comment. hope could learn more.

another view.. [image: orientaldesignfront.png]

@kwick7 said: I think thewatercolor style and actual rendered image is, by far, the best. Great work! thanks you like that one.

@richard said: Mate I can only see a bit of the pot, no towel but nice floor, wall in background is really shinny and looks way out of focus! hi richard, thanks man. okie the towel or rug or somthing is inserted in between the slats. yeah i think i did put too much bump on the wall.

thanks mark. yeah sometimes that rubbish fight attention with the main focue, nevertheless, i think ill just put it that way, perhaps just personal prefernce. i think one of the power to quickly good realistic model is really modelling from photo and projecting the image with it. the only downside is when you see the projecting image on the side. but if you have another texture of the side it doesnt matter then. if you will view the eyecandy of silvershadow, most of the model was done on this same. Just look how he carefully traced the coble stones, shich he said he took him some hours of doing it.

@thomthom said: Nice. But I think the bumpmap of the white painted wall to too strong. indeed always has that tendency.

@tomislavm said: Nice and useful! thanks tomislavm

thanks plot-paris. is that a classical roman beauty comment, panda with sensual belly? i heard monalisa has the same. is that true?

@kwistenbiebel said: Thanks Nomer for both the nice image as the short (but really good) how-to explanation. well im glad you understand clearly the explanation. its actually difficult to achieve the gradient in using 3d. for that light whilst i have used 2d image. the only problem of course when you change your viewing angle. unless you or our friend solo has another workaround.

and here is the full image of the living room. mty friend told me to changed the background image to seaside as this iamge fits more on that kind of environment. [image: redpallettejs4.png]

wow at least you have put nice translation there soviet.

im using both vray and podium and i could agree with that coen.
