Leonardo, thanks, I can convert it to whatever in Photoshop. I need to convince my boss for a better computer at work, or just a rendering machine by itself. At home I have a beast that would crank these out in like 10 minutes, here it was going to take an hour. Thanks.

Wow, Leonardo, love the trees. Makes it look like the building is in Florida (which makes sense considering where you are). To make it look right here I would need some "Live Oak" trees. Very popular in this part of Texas and not part of any online collections. This is actually our office building and the management company wants to put new signage out front. If you Google "610 Brazos, Austin, TX, 78701" you can see how were in the middle of downtown and currently the building has nothing on it. That's okay though, it's over 100 years old, was the site of the first stock exchange in Austin. I know what you're thinking, it's the same thing I thought... Austin had a stock exchange?

I didn't know how to make just the sign and still have the shadow show up on the building, so I just modeled the whole freaking building.

Man, I do love the mood you gave it though. You wouldn't by any chance know how to make the windows so that they would reflect as if really dark skyskraper windows would you? I just used AGS and made it really dark tinted, but it looks bad when you can see the building is hollow, so for now a solid material would be better.

When I get home later and have better control over posting stuff to the web I'll post my reference pictures that I'm photoshoping into. When it's all done I'll show it to everybody since this truly has been a group effort. :lol:

Hehe, I was going to type in me previous post "I hope you guys have palm trees over there because those are the only things that I have ready to use (library ):D " :wink:
For the glass use a dark plastic (no need for transparency)

I'm glad to see how many people jump in to help! Makes the community... a community

Here's the "finished" product with the rendering spliced back into the original picture. Again thanks everyone for getting those to me so I could use them to present, this is the final one I let run last night (had to fix the sun position a little bit).

The only thing not in the rendering that's in the original photo graph is a shadow on the bottom right of the building. It would have gone over the sign so we didn't put it in but I think it would have tied the right side of the building in better.

Anyways, tell me what you think (I had to shrink it to fit on ImageShack so there's some pixalating up top, oh nevermind, that's only before you click it for the large view), I'm very proud of how the left side blends with the original photo...

Thanks Leonardo. My boss made some changes again *ARGH* so I'm going to have to re-render. I'm adding a shadow to the corner just to help out the transition.

I'll post it in the Gallery when it's done. Who knows, maybe it will make picture of the day. I'd be so proud. *sniff*
