I agree with bobr. I have Bonzai 3D which is basically FormZ and I am able to open native SU files with all materials in place. Just did a test and looks just like the SU model. Might be a day short and a dollar late though

I just realized that I had not posted the webinar replay link.

Really nice view/render, when can I move in?

Those are really great idea! I'm going to pass them along to the ASAI 2014 President.

Great picture! The background image works well with the final technique. Interesting buiiding.

Beautiful colours,really well done.

@chris fullmer said: What, did you stop by the SU booth? I was there all Thursday but didn't see you. Are you still out here? I'm guessing you've probably headed back to the NE corner of the country. Chris, I was totally there! I sat through a presentation AND talked to John Bacus at length. Sorry I missed you. It would have been fun to meet IRL. @krisidious said: If you're going to be in Denver, make sure to go to Casa Bonita... http://www.casabonitadenver.com/ Bummer, didn't make it there. Will have to plan it for next time.

Done

@olishea said: "acidic" is commonly used to describe colours like that. I wasn't saying the image is acidic, but rather the green. Thanks for clarifying Oli. I had not heard that before.

Jason, Go for it! David, It was quite a compliment the first time I saw your renderings and thought, "Hey, I do that!". Hee hee

@pbacot said: It occurs to me that one outcome is that the developers may make "updates" that are unpopular and no one can do anything about it. Users can't hold back using a better version because the only version they'll have access to is the updated one. "updates that are unpopular" - now what sort of a company would do a thing like that!? Also makes me think of possible 'legacy' and 'migration' issues. For example, our company once purchased the assets of a failing business - a range of products that we felt we could modernise and make commercially viable. Most of the CAD files, BOM databases etc. were in ancient formats that our in-house software did not support. But, fortunately, the installation disks for the original software were among the assets we purchased - the starting point for re-formatting the data for an automated migration. If the 'cloud' model becomes the standard for software distribution, such things will no longer be possible - or maybe only provided by "legacy software hosts" who would charge a small fortune for their specialist services. Given the recent revelations about the NSA's 'data snooping' capabilities, one also has to wonder about the safety of the data being transferred. The assurances of the big software companies that they wouldn't collaborate with such snooping are surely disengenuous given their previous track record - e.g. after the way Google rolled over backwards to enable Chinese internet censorship, why should we believe that they wouldn't co-operate equally enthusiastically with any other 'friendly' security agency? And the US laws governing the human right of US citizens do not even apply to the data of foreign citizens who happen to be accessing US servers (no doubt likewise for other jurisdictions). The 'human rights' aspects of this is only one part. There have been many times in history where security agencies have indulged in industrial espionage to appropriate technology - and once everybody's 'work' is floating in the cloud, the door is opened for the exploitation of all kinds of research and development for purposes for which they were not intended.

@chris fullmer said: Wow that is great news Tina! Congratulations and thanks for sharing! Chris PS I'm not sure who will be there, but I'm sure there will be a few members of the SU team at the Denver AIA. Chris, I hope to see you at the ASAI conference. Maybe you can make it to a couple of the sketch tours.

What a great idea! I had considered an architectural project/town but not to this detail. This is great! Thank you so much!

Thank everyone! I appreciate it! @jsmith said: ...One criticism would be in the closeup the background is too near in value to the roof. Might look better to lighten background some. That is a really good point and one I agree with. Although, it is common in the area which this house is built for designers to do that on purpose. There are some areas where builders only have 3 or 4 choices for stucco colors and they will virtually match the mountains exactly! And some areas which even only allow a 4-5 foot profile to be shown above the natural landscape. Thanks again!

Very well done.
