Nice depth of field.

Tried to pick one or two to share but I can't

This sounds VERY interesting...!

Yes, the draw will be free for Premium Members and held once a month.

I might be a little slow, but once a month x 24 = 2 years...

Ah no, there is a prize for 1st and 2nd.

The best part of this new sponsorship is that we will be giving away 24 3Dconnexion devices for free to our Premium Members

Mike says 'devices' so I reckon that is 12 months worth of prizes.

Finally technology is catching up with prediction.

Next a car running on water only?

It might solved the Hydrogen Fuel Cell issue. Apparently Honda can find a cost effective way of separating the hydrogen out for the fuel cell.

Very Nice!!

BOOM !
Choose what layer to render !
Works with Vray, Maxwell, Kerkythea and Indigo. I'm working with Tomasz to get Thea to support this feature.
It still needs some finishing, but the release is not far

Well done!!! I cant wait to have a crack

Don't worry about using Warehouse stuff, i use it to keep my hand in during lean modelling times. sometimes you can spend ages sorting ware house model. The renders look great!

Wow!!!!

That is a great moody set of renders!!!

Looks like it would fit in to a Resistance type game. Really dramatic

Welcome

@jiminy-billy-bob said:

Hey guys, how about choosing what layers to render ?
Got it working with at least Vray, Kerkythea, and Maxwell suite.

That is a very interesting concept.

It means you could using to hide walls etc

Thanks Boo!

Render is good..Looks real but I think a few things can be refined

1. The near objects can be more detailed.. In real life there are few objects with this sharp corner- even 1 or 2 mm round corner can help.

They are table with a foamex wrap, so i wasn't sure how the edge would look.

2. The AC Grille.

The AC grill is a guesstimation from images and is just single faces (trying to keep the poly count down)

@unknownuser said:

3. and of course the human model. Otherwise can be mistaken for photo.

Yeah it is a shame, however thank you, i will try to do a render sans person

4.The ceiling tiles bump looks too strong- but maybe thats the design of the perforation.

I am not sure either, it's a bump the does the perforation and the recess for the frame holding the tiles (nod to ThomThom for the bump technique)

@unknownuser said:

Good JOb!

Thanks

@bryan k said:

Honestly, I thought the mannequin was, well, really a mannequin.

Oh good, then that was totally planned

@gubermensch said:

Incredible! The ceiling in particular IMO is stunning. The only question I have: are the mechanical diffusers 2D? They appear to be flat, tapering 2D surfaces. Bulkier blades or 3D would be stellar! But, I'm a noob, aspiring to do what you do, so... enough said.

Yeah the diffusers are 3D but barely

I will have a go at doing them properly

Thanks for the praise, i'm not as good as some.

LOOKS GREAT, TOBY

Thanks Dan.

@ely862me said:

I think the 3d guy in the back it's a bit out of place . Maybe a textured model would be better .And the floor is distracting(too much bump ?).
I'm not really a render guys so this might be just a personal opinion !

The 3d guy was left over from a context render and they client liked on that and so requested it be kept.

The carpet is really that loud in that conference room, there is hardly any bump on it.

@bryan k said:

That's a render?

Thanks Bryan, really appreciate your surprise. I've been going for realism so it is a shame that the client wanted the SU man in it.

Just produced this to help the print designers show how the room will look.

Hey Tobobo,

Thanks, I have used illustrator to arrange the pieces.

When I did my MA, I used Illustrator to do the same thing but then had to eps it. As the driver only worked through Corel Draw.

This looks like a giant leap forward. Well done

I use a lot of models from other people and CAD drawings, this will be great to keep the model organised.

That is very nice work.

Did you use layout to arrange the pieces for the laser cutter?

I'm sorry, I'm a beginner. How to set it up?

Right click on the light group and go to the bottom of the context menu. It should say VRay light with a fly out arrow. the click on edit light. A dialog box should appear with a section for shadows
