What can I say, except excellent work. I'll bet the client v pleased with your work!

I would be interested to know more about the people you use in it. They look like RPC, but they're animated. Where did you get them from?

[podro]

very very nice worck
how workstetion did you use for render?

[natty]

great work ....... some of the settings are a bit low ..... but hey i fully understand great stuff
have you got any render times per frame and settings you could share ?
ive also got to do some big renders and have got to optimize as much as poss and if i could achieve that quility i would be well happy

[suurland]

Very nice work.

But personally I don't like all the people and birds and so on, I'm sure they are there to make "life" and your client probably loves them, but to me they disstract more then they do good.

that's quite nice ... actually I do have to work on a visualization project and I was wondering how long did it take too put the project altogether from beginning to end ?

Alejandro,

A couple of questions.

What trees did you use? Onyx, Xfrog....
and how did you manage to get such good and consistent lighting
throughout the interiors? What lighting setup did you use?

[gadzooks]

How did you get the trees to have motion?
All in All outstanding!!!!!!!

I would love to know how much time the client gave you. My client thinks he can get a virtual tour in a week. He's driving me nuts!

[zerofractal]

Thanks for the crits and comments!

Andrius, walee: we often take +- 8 weeks for a virtual tour

gadzooks, CT: we combine bionatics, xfrog and onyx. moving ones are onyx.

CT: consistent lighting is due to presaved irradiance maps.

Suurland: I agree totaly but clients love birdss and people

Podro: we have 10 dual athlons for rendeirng plus workstations help during the night.

zapcat: we combine rpc and filemd (blue screen) people

we are currently working on the Atlantic One virtual tour to produce a better version.

I thought that for widescreen 16:9 you need to render frames out at 864X486. Dosen't it strech the frame out when render at 720X480???

Just out of curiosity, how many people worked on this project during those 8 weeks? Seems like a ton of work for just one guy.

Thanks.
