great!
thank you for sharing!!

eric, thanks for your critical input. it is very much appreciated. i'm a bit confused about you mentioning the booleaned cavity though? i havent used boolean operation in a long while for geometry, but my guess is you are suggesting creating interior cavities that portray interior light in a more relevant fashion? if so, i support this method 110% opposed to the hack i posted earler. the example you posted looks great! curious to know exactly how you set this up in order to offer more dialogue on this illumination method here. i think it would be good for others, as well as myself, to see how this was accomplished so successfully.

andre, thanks! i have another project that i'm planning to use maxwell for which i'm hoping to post progress on soon which i'd like to test out a few new things i've been testing in spare time.

developing......

Dear Client,

Your rendering is done. Looks awesome!

Thanks!

[Fernando Tella]

That's Fry for sure. I can tell because of the subtle nuance of the shadows.

Great sensation of space and fresh air!

if only it were that easy..... here's to the start of another award winning piece of architecture....

[Fernando Tella]

Nice place to pee between the blocks.

Good modeling by the way (no joke this time).

Hi, About the cavity thing, its very simple.

I just mean remove the partition walls and anything else thats in the way at skirting board height, that way you can put a big mxi emitter across large areas of the building which uplight the rooms but its efficient because maxwell doesnt have to find tiny emitters.

This assumes you cant see that floor area in the render (cameras looking upwards)

[rusteberg]

here's a new one i'm working on...

[Fernando Tella]

Nice color, and clouds, and modeling, and plants, and everything.

Maybe the bushes are a bit too homogeneous, but ok.

Where did you got those clouds from?

[rusteberg]

thanks, Fernando.

regarding clouds, pulled this image from web: http://dinnerwithjulie.com/wp-content/u ... -sky-1.jpg

google either "big clouds" or "cumulus clouds" or "big cumulus clouds" ..... there's tons out there similar to this, a lot of them higher res than this.

by the way, we've had some very nice large cumulus clouds around here lately which inspired the search. have been eager to shoot them for stock to add to library but haven't been able to find a location nearby high enough to get the right shot and haven't had time to drive out of town for open field shots.

Won't the client say they look too menacing?
It's a very nice render, but I hope you have time also for the wacky creative stuff which is always a treat to see....

[eric nixon]

Great render but I hate the clouds! xx

[Bubbaloo]

Beautiful render!

you're always blessed with the best architecture

I would prefer the verticals to be straight and not as a 3-point-perspektive.

mangy sock puppet tests..... developing
