Brick Competition

Just wanted to share some images from a competition that some of the folks in my firm put together last week.

We had about 2 days to render everything - we used Twilight exclusively with some Photoshop post work, mainly for lightening and fixing the horrendous grass texture that was used.

lol these look like those sewer pipe hotels in berlin! jeez i bet you had a nightmare texturing those tubes! I love these flemish style linear bricks, but the bricklayer would go crazy! section looks great and wow 2 days haha

Thanks.

Yeah, I was wanting at least a month with the models to get the lighting and textures just right. So it goes to show that Twilight can do a great job on such a tight schedule. Most were 2500pixels wide, only one of them was output-ed at 4500pix.

I'll have to check out the Berlin hotel and see if we accidentally ripped them off...LOL.

nah its not a rip off don't worry haha http://popupcity.net/2009/08/sewer-pipe-hotel/

the glass for the internals looks awesome! which template/library did you use?

[marvins_dad]

Just used the normal architectural glass and custom brick map...everything else was basic materials from sketchup that I told twilight what type of material it was - soft, reflective, etc.
