Thanks guys.
This image was inspired by Kwistenbiebel's 'crack of dawn' render using V-ray. I was interested to see how Podium would handle the same kind of lighting.

Thanks y'all.
Biebel I noticed that but ignoed it, you have been hanging with those damned perfectionists at V-ray I see, as you notice all the little things
Below is another version, notice the ceiling has a texture, bath is different and stainless steel has been replaced with Carrara marble.

Just gonna keep this thread going as starting a new one for every batch of renders is silly..
Below is a basic model from the Podium forum that a few guys were messing with while testing version 1.5 beta.
The reason I post this was the fact that it rendered under 30 minutes with pretty decent detail, i did use 22% soft focus and added logo in post processing.

Thank guys, I appreciate your replies.
Below is another Ando work called the Nihonbashi house, this time I did a bit of PS editing to one render.


I have always wanted to render this building, I finally took the time and edited the model using actual specs from the Ando website and tried to get textures with relief and close to the original. This has been done with nearly every render engine, so why not Podium.



I used clipmaps for trees, and set shadows to be cast onto building through the trees.
Thanks Edson, if you require any additional renders let me know. Are there any other architectural master pieces you need? just let me know i will throw something together.
ehaflett, I used a plane with image next to model so that glass could reflect.
Biebel, I changed the bump map and re-rendered allowed it to run 100 passes with SU sun enabled.

Mateo,
I downloaded the trial a few months ago and installed it, I read the (very well done) tutorial and then procrastinated to use it, the trial ended in no time and alas I have never tried it and cannot as I missed my chance.
Another view.

Thanks
You know me by now, If it takes more than an hour to render then forget it.
