Thanks.

The images are made up of a straight Podium render and a 2D SU export, they are then blended in Paintshop pro. The 'God-ray' has a 'zoom' blur on it and thus appears not to blend, I will do one later with some severe god rays, but this time I won't zoom it.

Comics:

Phantom

God-rays

Thanks...

The blues:

Xray lines:

Airbrush lines.

This sponza has been done numerous times, I was experimenting with styles and i got a few nice-ish results. I will post as i get time with various different takes.

Oh...I used Podium as usual.

Thank you, they will come in handy.

Solo's in da house too.

I agree with the name, it does not give justice to the product.
And frankly besides a few styles and textures I cannot see much 'sketch' in it.

Thanks Tom, the light house is amazing, it may just appear in a Cabot Cove-ish render.

I have checked them out, not very good modeling unfortunately. Now on this forum we have some amazing home modelers that can and have created models that come alive when rendering.

I was wondering if anyone has a good haunted house model to share or if anyone has the time to make one for sharing. I wanted to render a series of haunted homes for my kids school function, I seem to be stuck into one style and there are many very talented modelers here that do homes way better than I could.

Thanks

(old style homes are also welcome, I do not mind fiddling and texturing)

That looks awesome and with the post processing it defines the lines and creates a unique style, your style.

Congratulations, and great image.

tinnane,

check your email, I have sent model back and explained reasons.

I rendered it in 17 mins (without using any bumps as explained in email)

I am using version 1.5 b3.

tinnane,

What version are you using?

Version 1.5 final should be released in days, and many bugs have been attended to including disapearing textures.
If you would like feel free to email the .skp to me and i can take a look at the issues including render times.

Using your settings and at 640 x 480 I rendered it at 26 seconds.
However I am using 1.5 b3.

I will add some omni lighting now and see how it turns out.

Last week there was a call for a water tutorial, I was kinda busy so today I did a very quick model with a turbulance mesh and a water bump map. I rendered it with Podium, but believe that Kerkythea users can also use this model. I use a geodesic omni light you will notice, feel free to delete it and use your own style, or if you like the way the light gets distributed feel free to use it or even save it for future use.
Instead of a drawn out tutorial (I am lazy) use the .skp and see what opacity levels, texture mapping etc I used.

Hope this helps.

LOL on the violence.

Since 'Easter Island' is taken, I give you 'Solo Island'

This render took 10 minutes.
