Very nice. Hope you see many more projects. I have a building pending for a decision myself. It would be my first. It must be a good feeling to know something you designed in Sketchup will actually be built.

Thanks,

The knowledge it will be built is fairly awesome, Good luck with your decision!!

Hi, Andrew:
This is excellent. You really have mastered the technique. Besides the overall pleasing image, is the incorporation of the geometry beyond in faint sketch style, giving the viewer an idea of the whole form.

Thank you, high praise indeed!

I was very pleased with the outcome, the tutorial I followed is brilliant and made producing this, frankly, really quite easy.

Mottle the light hitting the driveway. Like light filtering down through tree branches Add some foreground framing.

great idea... I shall try that

As Thea Render uses some heuristics when converting Kerkythea materials and if you have some complex material, then converted material will most likely need some fine tuning.

hey thats pretty cool ... thanks for that

Congrats on the design and the render. I think the planners were right - it looks better without the dormer that would have distracted from the delightful simplicity of it all. Nice to see as-built photos here.

See the cutaway exterior wall. It was drawn with the freehand pencil tool. Additionally make a few small rock components that you can scatter across the top of wall, at the base of walls and randomly on the ground near the walls.
