Hi,

I'm trying to map correctly a building section that is curved and two angles inclined vertically and a sliced top to another angle - as seen in the cad screenshots - without success. I've tried SketchUV, UV Toolkit and Roadkill but with no result.

Does anyone have an idea on how to correctly achieve this?

The main point is that the panels need to have the same width on the top section of the curved corner and it's thin on the lower side as the curved corner gets smaller - top edge of glazing -

Agreed, the renderings look really amazing. I've followed your site and I'm still impressed. But, a small tiny observation I have. When you're attempting to render close-ups, try to get the most detail, without too many visible polygons. You're trying to reach photography, not bad, but a pure realistic and crispy doesn't have too many irregularities.

Keep it going!

Reversed faces give glitches inside renderings. Especially on gloss/semi-gloss surfaces. Reverse from blue to normal then try again.

Looks pretty neat and daring. I wish how a structural engineer would look at this concept if it would advance to construction detail. Maybe like: ....then

Looks doable to me

I didn't say it's impossible. But such structures involves huge costs and the structural engineer might go mad

Very accurate texturing Congrats.

You need to be happy, it looks fantastic

Awesome. I visited some of these places and I can say it brings back feelings from then.

Labor of love. GG

Oh, I was about to forget: THOSE GOLD PLATED STATUES! Awesome!

Fantastic work for real! It's like a picture from the past.

Really impressive work and amazing attention to details. I guess you visited the place to get the real feeling of that architecture. If not, you really got it right out of the box!

Wow, that's an impressive imitation of real life scene.

Play with the reflection filter color and refraction color to get the proper result. From what I know, the refraction color gives this kind of effect. I use it pretty often and it gives good results.

Gosh, that looks so real, and how simple is the scene. Impressive composition and rendering skills!

It has something that reminds me of the "Oblivion" movie drone. Maybe those "eyelids".

Looks like a very warm and welcoming home to me Gives a realistic feel of that area.

Looks really good! Cut from reality.

Last time I used MeshLab was after a 3D scan of a cave.

Uhm... I had a sudden jawdrop on the 2nd chair you're showing. What store are you using to buy patience, 'cause I can't find one?!

Amazing work!

Oh, and BTW, I want one for my terrace. No, make it two

Those chairs are insane! Good thing is that Sketchup becomes unlimited in functionalities due to its passionate artists that are pushing it to more and more.

Big respect.

First of all, desaturate the very green vegetation which catches too much the eye, much more than the building itself. Then add some street accessories, like light poles, grunge paving textures. You also can add some interior apparent lights to give a visual impact.

Awesome texturing, and that whiskey bottle+glass look like cut from a picture.
