We got hit by the tail end of a hurricane and while Phoenix was 108 with dust storms, we were having a hail storm, heavy rain and cooler air. Anyhow after a bit of clean up from a leaky roof, I took this photo to show the other end of the room not shown in the render and some experiments with solar lighting.

After seeing this I made a few new bag clips this weekend.
Fred, I like that idea, it is definitely going to get used at our place.

Roger,
Some good ideas. (also like how you're painting the door and room). Branches? Those look like a trunk. How big is the growth in your area? I am sure out there you could find use for anything that grows, if you have a little spare land. Ramadas, screens, retaining walls, pathways, compost even. Looks like you're having fun in your beautiful spot.

I live in a mixture of grassland and forest. The local ecosystem is unique and at 4'800 feet in southern Arizona we were able through the weekend without air conditioning. And we had some fierce rain. We have some trees in the 40 ft range.Speaking of screens, people hear harvest ocotillo branches and stick them in the ground with the upper ends tied to a goal post like structure. This "fence" looks dead in the winter, but when the monsoons come, the fence turns green and even flowwers on the top.
At my house, there is no garbage pick up. You have to truck everything to a dump and pay $6.00 per bag. So when I trimmed some branches, I had to decide what I could do with them. The answer was coffee table legs. What I need now is a glass top.
I took Mitcorb's answer at face value (edit and adjust). I don't tyhink he was suggesting a trace over. Am I wrong?
The garage door is a standard 4-panel. That car could drive under the top two if the bottom two panels were removed.
Put a tall thin antenna at the top and it would look like a hypodermic needle which might be appropriate. Certainly lacking in mood. I hope the prices are not more than $5.00.
The color balance is way off compared to other renderings on sketchucation. The whole scene is tending to lime green which kills the snap of the painting and the rattan furniture. Also the scale of the textures seems a little too large compared to any stuccoing that I have ever seen. Other than that I think it is a pleasant image.
I like the image but the hotel does not integrate into the background because the hotel has no water color texture. Also I would like to be led into the image with a tropical palm framing the hotel and some visual action on the pavement leading back to the hotel. I would say good, but with the potential to be better.

The height of this Ford Mustang is 128cm (production), mine is 123cm, good eye Roger
only 5cm out.
Umh, the height of the car roof is the same height as the doorknob on the house and the car roof is only half the height of the garage door. I know there are perspective issues but you can trace the roof line back to the garage. The scale is not even close. You might want to check your numbers and see of perhaps the units used are not the same. I would say you are closer to 35cm off based on the doornob height.
I think the car is out of scale relative to the building. I think it could be 1/3rd taller.
The swirls in the coffee. Increible y mas profundo.

May not be fine design, but this is simple, cheap and clever.
Solo, how do you turn it off?
Obviously you are acting as the set designer or working with the set designer, but what are your interactions with the director of photography, the art director, the juicers, and the key grip? Are they also taking advantage of the tool? Is your client playing with the model in 3D or just looking at static output? I did a portrait of the CEO of US Air and I premodeled a location in the lobby that had a lot of airplane replicas in large scale. When I walked in I knew where my lights would be, where the airplane replicas had to be in relation to the person. What focal length lens I needed. I set up, called the guy in his office and said, "I'm ready for you." When he came down I said stand on the tape on the floor, put your hand on the model plane, look up, smile like you just completed a merger, look this way, tilt your head, click, click, click. Thank you. It works for me, but I there are a lot of "old school types" that don' get the labor saving potential. A little work on the front end saves a lot of logistics on the back end.
Mike, could we see an animation of that upper deck in a hurricane?
