Thanks for the help, when it comes time to texture this, these will really help.

One word...IVY!!

That scene screams for Ivy.

You are right. I don't know how I could achieve this however. Maybe there is some good ivy at the wharehouse?

This is going to be great once textured!

It's already textured

Sorry I had only looked at the first page

Thanks everyone for the support. Here is an update after modeling all those stones......

Fantastic!

looking great so far, I assume you are gonna go over the top with details and textures....fun excersize.

Yes, I plan to completely texture and render this. I am about a third done.

Here is what I have been working on lately.

Wow that looks great. Good Luck on the Tutorials

The graffiti textures on the walls, are they done post pro or actual textures?

The Graffiti is a texture from CG Textures

The materials and modeling look great, but I don't like how white the sky is.
Good Luck

I recently revisited this render, and here is the result after fixing it up with Picsa 3.

Eye Candy Three

Whenever I use Luxrender, I just take the long way,
Export as google Earth,
Rename to model.zip,
Remove the Colloda from inside the zip file,
Convert to .3ds in FBX Converter -

Open in Blender,
Export to Luxrender.

For all this trouble, it gives about the same output as Indigo.

I would love to live there

Good start, the second render looks very real!

The textures are working great, my only critic is the blank surroundings. It would look nice on a wood floor or a table of some sort.

The cracked cement around the door really adds to the render. Great work!

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Because you're a lucky man.

Subdivide and smooth, I assume. How many faces?
