All of the renders on this page were done with Twilight. Comments welcome.

love the shrine room image! great work! I would however suggest better trees next time for the external! church has quite an elegant sweeping roof its cool.

That's a lot of rendering! good work!

To think about in future... one thing churches like to see in renderings is people... I usually add them in post-pro.

Hi Edmund

Nice work - we're working on some religious projects at the moment so found your project very interesting. How did you achieve the stained glass renderings - I've found if I add an image of stained glass in Twilight, but then make it transluscent to allow light through, the strength of the image is reduced. I've ended up adding stained glass in photoshop afterwards, but part of me wants to do everything in Twilight! Any tips would be appreciated.

Hi Tony, try this thread on Stained Glass.

Those are absolutely gorgeous. Well done. How did you manage to create all that awesome curvey structure?

[olishea]

the externals could easily be photographs of a physical model, well done! very convincing

Thanks for all the comments, I went on vacation for the 4th it was relaxing.
I have little experience with exteriors so any help I can get on those I'll take, thanks olishea.

paappleb - thanks, got the curvy structures by using a few plugins. Extrude Tools by TIG and Shape Bender by Chris Fullmer and lots and lot of Curve Stitcher. All the on sketchucation forums.

amatters - for the stained glass, I just use .png's. I don't really know what else to tell you. I just applied them as if they were glass, however they do not cast colored shadows at the moment, didn't need them. They are higher resolution photos from their existing church and edited them in Photoshop. I used the realistic glass preset in Twilight and have always done what I wanted.

Thanks Fletch for putting the images in the post.

Thanks for the plugin list Edmund. I've had Shape Bender for a while but haven't gotten the chance to use it for any clients yet. Just a few weeks back, I got hold of the Extrude Tools but haven't had the chance to work with them at all since I am moving to a new residence in the next few days. Curve Stitcher though is new to me. Investigation is in order once my computer is back in one piece.
