Twilight Render User Forum

Thank you Tom. And hi there Stu, long time no speak. Glad you like the work, got any ideas for possible outlets in Melbourne for stuff like this? Also, are all the renders on your site done with Twilight? Baz. Baz...all but one or two images on the site rendered with Twilight. Outlets in Melb?...le...

Hi Baz!! Welcome to the Twilight World

I've always liked your designs....and rendered, they look extra good!!

WOW!!!

For some reason I'm thinking crisp...but I think I really mean 'sharp'

Woops, sorry......I used Archiforge so long ago I forgot about the mask

Maybe some PS guru can help you there ?

Re. the plants....My preference is always to use photoreal cutouts. There are plusses and minuses with these but I see them as preferable to 3D plants [and believe me, I gave 3D stuff a good go] Archiforge http://archiforge.com/browse/108359102472b60ed50ee84z54802733/ have a good selection of free v...

HI Stallini,

NIce work, particularly for a first post!

I'm not too sure about the timber cladding texture in the second image....it looks a bit like a flooring texture.

But generally...well done!!
