Mate I like the design and the camera angle but the lighting I feel could be more dramatic!

Thanx for the quick response Chris 😄. After I read your post I felt realy stupid 😳 I just missed this option completely. I found entity info but because I didn't make a new layer yet, it only showed me 1 layer so I couldn't choose.
Now I understand that I have to make the layer first and then I can flip them 😄 .
Thanx for the tip.

nice one 👍

nice texture massimo 👍

If you use greyscale images (with the colorize function in sketchup) then PNG's are the clear victor in compression as you can specify how many colors you wish to use, dither, etc.

For images that have more than 256 colors the file size tends to be in JPEG's favor.

The best thing about PNG is continuous-tone(256 shades) transparency.

Best,
Jason.

As far as I know there's no way to replicate 2pt perspective in Indigo because it's an artificial view, and indigo has real world cameras. You might have more luck with Twilight as it's based on Kerkythea isn't it? Failing that you can set everything up with Twilight and then export to KKT.

Hi Guys,

Thanx for the great comments. I cooked the second one the longest so I think this shows. I Also used other Filters in Photoshop.

The plants are 2D components. Background is a billboard in SU.

Indeed nice texturing but I also agree on rotating some randomly - and also, please, make a bite in one of them!
😉

That style ought to take you far. Wow. 😲

Nice work, looks good.

When you have a such landscape through the window
landscape.jpg
it's a pity that not to benefit of it! 😄
So 2 solutions return the toilet on another wall or use a mirror 😉

Very nice indigo render, congrats... 😄 😄

the graphic art on the wall is nice and design is nice too. 👍

There shouldnt be a problem with softening edges in indigo, not sure what the issue si though, have to have a look at that pic when you post it.

Looks great,if only we could add the purple haze!

Hy Frederik,

Thanx for the feedback.I love Kerky. Been working with it for a year now. Recently gave Twillight a try. Also very nice and I love the Interface. Hope Displacement wil be an option soon. and maybe an upgrade in the Instance spray option in Kerky ( If Kerky is still in active development? ). Something like the ecosystem spray in Vue would be nice 😄 .

I did this Roger Seller Tub a few weeks ago for Gary. It might work for you.
The model is on the post below this one.

It's easy to look at something and type a quick, "Looks great", but does the person posting really benefit from that and has the person replying even really thought about the post or just made a remark after a passing glance?

Well said Earthmover. I have commented on this many times lately after seeing some images posted that are either too early in the design process to even comment on or images that are far to basic to deserve a "great job" or "looks great" comment. This forum is the best sketchup forum on the web and we as artists owe it to eachother to be honest with our comments as we will never grow if all we ever hear is "great job" when we know the work is undeserving of a positive comment. While I may not have agreed with TIG's comment about "no soul" at first I do respect it and understand it after further explanation. I would love to see this forum become something of the CGsociety (http://www.cgsociety.com) for the sketchup community but I think right now it is lacking the works from enough premiere sketchup artist. Hopefully that will change over time. We all know amazing work when we see it. I would love to see a closed gallery for some of these "premiere works". Not sure how these works would be evaluated to be placed in this gallery but I sure that could be worked out. I think it is sad to see some of these amazing works get buried under newer posts and get lost over time.

Now on to Pugz updates. I really like the progress of this image but have some concerns. The glass side of the structure (left) looks really nice and flows well. If the structure is going to be a waterfront residence then the use of all the glass fits this well. The issues I have are the use of the rails on the second level from the top. Is there a walkway at the level or are the rails there only to tie into the rest of the design?
The right side of the image (all the wood louvers), are divorced from the rest of the structure for a few reasons. The use of all the wood do not fit with the rest of the design. The other side (left) uses a lot of glass and metal and no wood at all. It seems as though the left side of the structure has received much more attention (for now) and this might work itself out as the right side is developed further. The wood material on the louvers just does not work for me.

All in all I think the image will come to life better and some design choices might come together as the design matures. I like what is done so far and it is gathering soul (IMO).

Best regards,
Scott

Very nice render. Other than the moire, I would darken the sky a touch to separate it from the vertical wall. I suspect this probably looks better than your original but the contrast is dumbed down by viewing in the web.

Also I would move the red tree on the left. There is an unhappy coincidence with the bridge. It looks planted on the bridge. Cloning just a touch of trunk under the bridge would fix this.

Lastly just add a little bit of entourage in the foreground to increase the illusion of depth.

But mainly it is a beautiful image.

Fine work you have here.
Something about the left end where the porch meets the embankment doesn't seem quite natural enough against the vegetation.
