Have fun with render times for glass once you've reversed everything.

CGII your right, it can usually take 20 or so minutes to finish a rendering. Way too much time, and the Results are not really that great. I'm still not sure if its worth it, maybe I'll post a rendered shot every weekend or so and usual shots on most updates.

Rendered + Photoshop


Sketchup + Photoshop

really really amazing, I don't think there's any more that can be said, it's truly realistic. I love the glass reflection, I'll have to learn how to do that. It looks great in sketchup too. Work to be extremely proud of, for sure.

I think the rendered is awesome and has huge potential. Maybe different angles, like street level. I say, give it a few more chances before giving up on the rendering.

^Already downloaded that file earlier. It was quite confusing, the directions barley helped. It was mainly components (why?) and the main file for Sketchup and Kerkythea. And the textures where still flipped.

But Staunton is pretty much all reverted, as you can see in the rendered image. Just a few more spots.

Yeah, oops, I just realized that while browsing the forum over there.

Woah, lotta comments, I like that

Well Spring Break is coming to a close Grr, what a waste, everyone went out of state (well it is Arizona) so I had plenty of time for Staunton. Garnett District is done, I'll probably add more lowrises, not sure when Jefferson returns. :/

Quick Render.

(I don't know if the building the shot was rendered from is actually an apt. building, but since it's an older 1920s office tower, maybe it was converted recently?)

^Thanks! Yeah actually the view is from a 1920's Hotel The Hudson but now that I think about it, it would be a much more realalistic idea for the hotel to be converted into lofts, due to its location.

Anyways, looking down Phantom Avenue in the good old days, with everyones favorite Cybersoft Building.
