awesome renders, i love the feel of the place. feels like home
i love the magic apples you have there as well, in the sketchup view they look like normal apples, but then BAM they turn to candles. where can i buy myself some of those
great job!

all that is missing is the fur plugin applied to the rat
that is a awesome render and i'll be sure to give it a go

i didn't really want to be the one to follow pete, especially with the same render engine but oh well.
here is my crack with thea, i would have let it run for a bit longer but it took 2 hours to get to this point n i need to go to sleep
oh and i have absolutely no clue what happened to that 1 panel that isn't lit, the materials are all the same....it's odd, i'm guessing i got some bad wiring and those lights need fixing.

oh wow you took a very different approach to me pete, i envisioned this light as being a floor lamp not a desk lamp, although i love your renders. mine is currently rendering away so i should post mine later.

i've been trying to get a good skin material, havent quite got it yet but here is a render of a girl i did quickly in thea, well not quickly...i let it run over night so it ran for 10 hours (about 500 passes on my mbp)
solo, or anyone else who uses thea, have you been able to create a realistic skin material. if so would you be able to post it? thanks

i'm working on a showcase floor just like at car shows to mount the cars on, i'm not really a fan of the whole street scene presentation.

thanks majid, here are some more cars i have rendered with thea. it is just so easy to use with cars, i havent been able to set up a decent architectural scene with thea yet, but its coming. any comments on the new images?

those are very nice renders, what material are you using for the car paint? it looks just a bit too reflective for me.
anyway here is another car i have been working on, i love thea so much
i am having trouble with the rear lights though, as you can see there appear to be 3 different colours when the first 2 are both the same red glass material and the third is an orange glass material, not too sure what is causing this but i am trying to find a fix .

thanks guys, i will post some more renders i have done soon
and solo, im a graphic designer aswell so photoshop is like second nature

i uploaded the original watermarked render as well if that helps at all, and don't get me wrong! i will definitely be buying thea, it is one of the easiest (behind podium) and best looking render engines i have used.
