If you have V-ray, then it makes good sense.
I also use my old thread to keep my mind on how to put settings
Larking About (http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/showthread.php?t=3097&highlight=larking&page=4)
Hence the reason it is "greek" to me. I don't speak Vray :D |

All the tiles make great detail, like greebles on a star destroyer :D |

lol - for those scratching their heads like most of the people I work with
"A greeble or nurnie is a small piece of detailing added to break up the surface of an object to add visual interest to a surface or object"
One of the most famous greebled objects is the large space ship in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" which you can find HERE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Close_Encounters_Mothership.jpg) |

:D Nice one kena, good link too.
Here's a pick with the floor texture. It's too reflective right now, need a bit of work.
How do the mapped VRay reflectance shaders work? if you set them to 1 and put a map on them, does the image determine where the effect happens and the number the intensity of the effect?

hehehehehehehe!!!! I just found this out this past week!!
increase the subdv value to make the floor looks less reflective! check out my first page of posts for Igor's delema to see how that works.
:jumpy:
EDIT: and I would increase the second bounce just a bit more. |

That's pretty much it! The white or lighter areas of the image used for the map/ mask will be more reflective (if you are mapping the 'mirror' parameter, for instance). The darker or black areas in the mask image will be less reflective.
This is looking great. |

wow. MUCH better there. you get more of a sense of depth as marcel says. You also get a good sense of weight to your building. Love the colors and the tiles even better now! |

Looks better. The earlier pictures had the interest of technicalities and methods to a TS user. Now it is starting to draw me in as a viewer. I want to explore this building. |

It looks great, the only thing I find strange is the columns on the left.
They don't seem to fit with the rest because they are more blue than orange. |

Might be because of the blueish light reflecting from the background, I think it looks allright.
This has greatly improved, very nice lighting. |

Yes. I think with the light at the right, the color of the sky need to be different (less blue and dark). |

At this step, the blue can be an "artist" value. ;) |

The blue is coming from the HDR Image. That side of the room isn't faceing out but into another room (at least in my head it is:rolleyes:) so i thought the blue make a good colour for where the sunlight isn't catching the walls.
I did try it with a warmer map but it lacked something, might just need playing with:

I prefer with the blue. Maybe between both last images will be ideal. |

Yes, the color is still a bit off, but only on the first pillar really.
After the first one it actually looks pretty good. |

The blue brings in a complimentary color and adds balance. |

Probably because it's so close to the camera and quite big. I may crop it for the final pic |

added the skirting board, needs a new texture though, it's far too black. Right now it's just a plaiin black colour and the glossy shader:
