Great effects Loïc. I like all three.

Nice work. Very inspiring.

Nice work Brad. I think these are excellent.

Thanks Rick. And thanks for the tip to give Twilight Render a try too. I've really enjoyed it so far.

Thank you also Roberto. I appreciate you guys taking a look.

Hi all. Although I check in often, it's been awhile since my last post to the Gallery. I see so many great renderings here. I thought I'd post a few of my recent projects and ask for your thoughts and criticisms. These were all modeled in SketchUp and exported as 2D layers into Photoshop for editing. Depending on the render style, I also use Painter, Twilight Render and TurboCAD in my workflow. I'm always looking to improve what I do so your comments are welcome.

Many thanks,

Fantastic work. Thanks for posting the original as well. That allows your skill to show all the more.

Good stuff! I really enjoy your rendering and presentation style. Not to mention the creative subjects.

Very cool Liam. I find myself revisiting older models from time to time also. I hope you feel better soon.

Nice work allanx! DoF makes for an interesting addition to this type of rendering.

Thanks everyone for having a look. Your suggestions are definitely appreciated.

majid, great tutorial, thanks.

Nice style!

One thing that may help is to hide the outer lines on the 2D cutout trees in Sketchup before exporting. The lines are most noticeable in the foreground entourage.

Thanks d12dozr. I added those lines intentionally to help distinguish the foreground trees from the background. In some ways I think it adds an interesting rawness to the images. On the other hand, I haven't decided if they'll stay or go. I'm leaning towards go. They are a bit "edgy" .

From the reflection in the windows, it seems you are (also) using some rendering software in the workflow (unless it is some post-pro).

I used rendering software to create the soft shadows. They were rendered over a clay model essentially, and then merged with the SketchUp image in Photoshop. I also used Painter to fill in the windows.

Hi Brad and welcome to the forums (even if you registered earlier).

I definitely like your style (although you should not trust my eyes as I am generally blind at design and style )

Well, if I may be honest, I like the style better than the building itself but I guess that's what you have to market...

Thanks Gaieus. Here are a couple others I created while working toward the final style.

Hello all,

I've been dropping by these forums for a while now but this is my first post. I've seen so many great renderings here. Very inspiring stuff. The attached image is a style I've come up with for marketing the homes the company I work for builds and sells. I'd love to get your comments and suggestions.

Many thanks,
BradE
