Here is a work in progress.
Modeled in Revit Architecture 2008 in about 1 1/2 days.
I know the morning and evening scenes are very yellow, but I didn’t bother with any white color balance yet. I’ll play with light when I get it texture mapped.
What kind of crazy childhood did you have!?
:shock:
Bloody big tree house !
Would you mind sharing the dirt settings ?
Tree House
It is actually my bosses house, who is an Architect. The dirt setting is just 127,127,127 unoccluded and 0,0,0 for occluded. Everything else is default, except I did change the radius to 10’.
DWF
Here is the DWF if someone would like to spin around it.
I like the glow:)
Americans dont do anything by halves do they! It looks more like a fortress than a tree house. What car does your boss drive?
Good modelling by the way.
Tree House
What cars… funny question. He has a Cadillac Escalade, a Dodge Viper, and a Dodge Ram Pick-up.
I was asking as its a good insight into a mans taste which car(s) he owns. The building design is very staunch, I was expecting something like a Hummer or one of those ridiculously huge Ford trucks in his collection. Id like to see the image once its textured and in its surroundings.
Cars
I’ll post as I go. I have to put this one down for a bit since something else has priority. This is his truck, which is one of those big trucks
Nice Modeling Bobby! 
Your boss must be doing rather well. Hope that you get to share in some of that profit aswell.
The design reminds me of a prison compound though. :lol:
Boss
Thanks… My boss is actually a new boss. I think he is going to do well… probably not fit into the office, but neither do I. We are the big fish in a small lake. Both him an I come from big fish in big lakes. He was actually the Architect behind the Lifetime fitness.
Why do you think neither of you fit into the office?
Office
We are both more aggressive then others. A hand full of us in our 285 person organization live on the balls of our feet and it seems the other live on their heels. Here is a recording that I liked so I purchased the MP3.
It is a Christian broadcast talking about serving in the church, but it is applicable to here as well. I don’t want to offend anybody so I thought I would point that out 
.
Ive just had a listen, my first reaction after a few minutes was to turn it off, something about hearing people preach rubs me up the wrong way. However I opposed my sometimes closed mind and gave it the whole 28 minutes. Hes a motivational speaker and you’re right, religion aside his principles can be applied to anyone.
Although I dont use faith to keep me motivated id say im a balls of my feet kinda guy too. I dont have much patience for ‘heelers’.
Balls of feet
Good. Although I am active in the church and bought the MP3 for that reason I thought it to very applicable to the office as well. I am sure the statistics he quotes are outside of the church as well. Now get 275 people who are comfortable and standing still in a room with the 25 who like to move forward, knowing that the World caters to those who like to stand still, and feel my frustration. I see the go-getters drop off like flies around here. To make it worse I moved from a big city to a small town. I would say this area is 10 year behind in thinking. Not that it is bad. It is a good place to fish and grow old. Now on the flip side I see area architects just now producing images I did in Accurender 10 years so I do have a buffer in that.
I disagree, the world caters for go-getters. If you sit about on your loins waiting for something to happen, very rarely will you end up with what you want, but if you want more for yourself there is a whole world out there for the taking. Its a mind set.
Tree house
I think very few in this forum will be someone who is on the heels of their feet otherwise you wouldn’t be here. We all think everyone is like us and very few think they don’t like change, but the majority does not like change.
Mind you half our architects here are still on the board and see no reason to change and here I am trying to implement Revit. How do you implement B.I.M. when they don’t see the benefit of electronic drawings. I am sure larger cities see less of the laid back attitude, but smaller town are smaller town for a reason I guess.
It really stirs things up when someone comes in (me) asking you to change when all you are thinking about is fishing and hunting. Again when you are the big fish in the small pond why change? Until that bigger fish comes in and swallows you up!
Oh well… more advantage for me I guess. Since I work for the largest builder in the area (www.nor-son.com) people are seeing my images on construction signs and people are calling asking who does our images. They (our competitors I am sure) are told we have an in-house person (me). Do a search for “architectural renderings in Minnesota” (like they are) and you get me (www.whitebirchstudios.com) and I am getting calls all the time, but I have to say no to a lot since they are competitors and I am loyal to my employer. It wasn’t planned, that isn’t why I took this job, but it might allow me to finally go solo someday.
Anyway back to work :lol:
please stop spreading your religious propaganda in here.
this is a rendering forum.
Tammo, i thought I recognised you:
