I cant even tell its a render....truly photorealistic. well done!!

Massing study of a tower in Greater Manchester. Let me know what you think!!

Rendered with podium, sketchup line over and some photoshop. I didn't submit the coloured image, it was just for fun.

looks a lot better!! I use that depth blur technique all the time now its awesome!!although perhaps tone down the lens flare....

is that radial gradient in background or lighting effects? looks nice

nice work sepo. ive seen light up in use and it looks amazing. definitely the way forward. real time rendering cant be too far off now. again, nice work...im guessing this is three houses you posted on suplugins?

Here is another easy one:

amazed. If I wasn't told that it was a render I'd probably think it was a photo. transition between photo and render is seamless.....really well done, inspiring stuff, hopefully my renders will be like that one day!!

Tobobo: "A Turtle Catatstrophe" (total catastrophe)?????

boofredlay: I kept thinking :tank fish, tank fish. im such a dumb ass

bump map

(its a bumpy map lol lol)

no....I mean a lot of people don't render so they wouldn't know what it is.

you are very, very close david.....

think 'surface'.....fellow render nerds should get this!

Terrain map?

nope!!

i know the turtle one but i cant put my finger on it!! it will come to me!!

here is an easy one.......(the location is irrelevant)

lol cheers fred, I see myself becoming a render gimp its too addictive!

Here is a selection of my better renders that I have made over the past 5 months.

Everything was rendered in Podium (no time to learn anything else!!) with some post process.

I've only been rendering a few months so please don't be too critical lol i'm still a noob!

I learnt all my rendering techniques from this web site and http://www.suplugins.com so cheers everyone who has helped me improve!

if i can think of any more I'll add them

They are in no particular order........

nice!! did you use color by z plugin to get the graduated colour?

thats awesome. the su version gives it more depth i think but both look great

its a feasibility of a house in rochdale. yeah podium works on mac, i did all these images on an imac. its really easy to use and quick, each render took between 5 and 10 mins.

no I hardly ever use the noisy preset because of time constraints! I have added noise in PP lol!the actual raw renders were very crisp. however I did not render the images on podiums highest quality or anti-alias settings because I'm always rushed...so you can get much better results. I would have used LEMs for all my inteior images too but I ran out of time and had to use just the sun.

funny u mention the bump in that image....it is inverted and I cannot understand how it can be like that!! It is the only wall in the whole model that does it!
