you're right, it's not going to be easy...in Kerky I'd say the translucent component corresponds to the transmitted with zero shininess, it's a sort of fake SSS since the final aspect is not related to the thickness. Nevertheless the correct parameters for SSS (the panel "fog") are a bit difficult to be managed, and very time consuming

Thanks! Makes me want a 3D printer

nice. especially without that chainlink facade.

@irwanwr said: have you tried to ask in the Kerkythea's forum? i use Kerkythea too, but obviously not as long and as well as you do. if you don't mind i'd like to ask about those people on the image. are they 2D or 3D components? I tried Kerkythea's forums and got a half decent tutorial, but it led to my machine crashing. The image you see above was about half way through my post processing in Photoshop, so the figures are actually shopped in rather than components. You can see the finished image at http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=41658. In the end, I warped the chainlink in place, but would still like to resolve the issue properly.

@gaieus said: Those are good materials. Have you installed and are you applying them in Kerkythea? Pete: don't tease him! Yeah, I installed the .map.zip and installed the library, then applied the texture. I guess it's just the settings from more experienced modellers I'd like to know. And Pete: Funnily enough, you are actually dead on! The project is a very small corner lot in Manila, where the client wanted to have two floors of economic programme, then two floors of residential occupation. The total floor area available is very small, compromised further by Filipino building regulations that stipulate a 2 metre setback on the ground floor, and a 1 metre setbak on the first floor. Due to the compromised size, rather than trying to figure out how to separate the two programmes (a gym is now located on the ground floor) - it was much more interesting to literally put the hair dressing/massage/beauty programme alongside the 'internet cafe' as a result of the design process. The building is geared towards economic and social intensity. The facade is wrapped in a chainlink fence, which acts as a safety barrier, allows maximum views and sunlight, and fulfils the client's request for prominent advertising on the corner lot. Fabric adverts are simply wrapped around the facade and cable tied back (I'm a sucker for simple details!). The fence allows plants to grow up it, turning the corner into a sort of green fuzzy screen, punched out by advertising. The barrier also acts as a crucial safety feature, putting a barrier between flying debris in typhoons and residents, an annual occurance. Cheers!

Good compositing skills. My problem with the final image is the woman. She must be giant or the soldiers are 100mm tall.

thx for repling

Does this help? Apologies to Magritte. [image: zjjM_Tomato.jpg]

http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=9864 Hello All, Interesting Topic here. I saw Hypercosm mentioned in this tread, from my very limited experience it does not support section planes from SU. Would be interested to know how this is in the different varieties of 3D-PDF? Btw, I asked some other questions regarding Hypercosm here. http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=9864 I guess that sub forum is a little quite, if someone feels like having a look, I will appreciate it. Kind regards, Robert

Thats interesting, the Practice I work for recently designed the replacement Sharrow School, although it was a project I was not involved in
