Real nice render and model. I especially like the window drapes and the overall feel. I am a little confused by the light blob(s) on the bed from under the sheet, is that intentional and normal or some sort of artifact? To me it looks like there is some lighting fixture or a shiny metal surface under the sheets.
This is an effect that I have sometimes on twilight render. I don't know what happened there.
That happens sometimes when you use photon mapping presets.

I understand where you comming from. You speak as typical mac person and that is ok.
i mean, you're saying a lot of the things i'm saying so i don't see how we're in such a disagreement..
i am a typical mac person and i'm saying things that typical mac people might say.. we're snobs, or dorks, or unsophisticated, or whatever… but, if you're making an app aimed at a typical mac person then it should cater to them regardless of how dumb the UI may seem to you.. otherwise, you're not going to be picking up many new customers..
The point is not in having superficial matching software....it is like deciding to by skies because they match your jacket. Successful GUI is platform indipendent....The success of the software depends on the market niche among the other things. When I say you give typical mac angle....reallly it was not compliment...most of the people running macs use it as accessory rather than tool and have this undividing following which in my mind is funny at least to say. ...As I said before I have macs but I needed to install windows for some serious work which was not available on mac side.... I still wish auacad for mac never happened in the form it had and I pray that Rhino does not end up looking funny....
No bad vibes from me...only objective observation.

Jeff, not sure what your point about Thea is - I see the same (imo bad) interface on Windows - that has nothing to do with Mac. Having to learn a whole new GUI is what turned me off of Thea too. The Twilight interface on the other hand is simple (if limited in functionality) and well integrated within Sketchup. If they are able to bring that simplicity to Mac, everyone should be happy.
Twilight gui looks same on mac...if not broken do not mend it.....jeff sorry about some funny typo in the last reply....joy of typing on IPad.

right.. that's exactly the point i'm getting at…
on mac, all the apps are more or less the same UI (or can be)…
i can use safari, then keynote, then sketchup and everything is more-or-less the same look/location/shortcut/function/etc (when applicable)
so when i open some app with a wonky (well, you might think it's a great UI but..) GUI then it's a turn off..
like this:

ugh.. no thanks.. i don't want to learn an entire new interface just for the sake of rendering.. if they set thea up using a more standard mac interface then it'd be much more welcoming..
Firstly it is not true that all apps are asme on mac...each has it,s own quirk ...and for SU on mac I would say it is quite clunky and unituitive. I teach both rhino and SU at University and in our studios We have dual boot macs. I know both world.
That comment on thea GUI is unfounded. If you want one button or two button renderer than go for one like that....thea maybe not easiest software to master but GUI is very intuitive.
Let's not get into this any further. I will not change my position and you will not change yours. I actually have iPad, MacBook pro and octo mac desktop pro and I do things on both side as both my laptop and desktop are dual boot. I understand where you comming from. You speak as typical mac person and that is ok. For me I see good and bad side of the both platforms.

but hey.. twilight mostly works inside of sketchup, right?
if that's the case, then everything should be A-ok because for the most part, sketchup is nice and mac-like on mac...
you can do most of indigo's setup inside of sketchup to which is good.. once you're in the actual indigo app, on mac, things start looking/acting weird… but since i don't have to spend much time in the actual app, no biggie..
I really do not care for that so called mac look . I just do not want to go and spend uneccessery time learning new GUI for the sake of it. If something works than it something works. Also I can,t see developers are gaining anything but making two different sets of GUI.... Sorry but I see it being irrelevant. If it works do not brake it .
The point of Vectorworks is not where it was ported first but that it is the same... 
No you would not want to convert people but there are people who run windows version on their mac and they would wish to move to mac side.
In my case I teach Rhino and I am finding that even mac users are moaning about mac version not being the same is confusing. I repeat look at the shambles of auto ad for mac. On the other hand look Vectoworks which looks same on both platforms ...real joy.
That is exactly what I hate about Mac for Rhino. Developers instead of porting great GUI are now changing it . It is almost new application now. It will end up badly...Just look at the AutoCad for Mac . It is completely new software....useless if you work cross-platform.
That is certainly grasshopper plugin for Rhino. You should save the file as native.3dm first and than export it as.obj.
Looks great and the rendering of instances looks amazingly fast.
I tried to open .igs export from SU in Rhino. It bring geometry but geometry is broken. The model is made of separate surfs and some surfs (curved) are missing.
Itis really fantastic work..epic. It shows what could be done with LightUp in right hands. 
Very nice feel to the render...but what happened to caustics? Shouldn't be some on the floor, right?
Have you been commissioned by Zaha to do model/renders or this just play? What modeling and what rendering software did you use?
liking bright coloured squares(maybe rectangles as well?) is a form of discourse 
lol....as long as there is a discourse of some sort and yes architects are bad sobs
Interesting stuff....in tradition of Theo van Doesburg, maybe?

Not completely true. You can buy edu license in UK...
Yes, and I even added this:

...some "international" (as "non-US" is generally called ) resellers do but there are countries where there are no resellers.
There is no reseller in Hungary particularly.
surely can't stop Hungarian students to buy in UK...EU regs
I suppose so. I did found the story kind of predictable ....
