Apart from how good it looks, I'm impressed with how fast this set loads, how fast it starts rendering and how fast it renders, and how little resources is uses. Works fine with only 8 GB RAM, and VRAM use is a little over 3 GB only. This one took 10 minutes (stopped at 85%) on a GTX 1070.
This set has one of the best water planes I've ever come across. I've done a quick test render to illustrate the point. I really like the way the light plays across the uneven water.
Cheers,
Alex.
the water really is wonderful.
I spent a couple of hours yesterday trying to figure out how to make it just a little more transparent (pick up maybe 18-24 inches of subsurface visibility) without losing that wonderful color and volumetric texture...to no avail, oh well. it's just kinda perfect. even changing the texture of the ocean floor surface lost the magic.
wonderful work. :)

God damnit you're killing it Stonemason. These are amazing... but man my wallet is reeling. :0
Vintage streets of L.A please
Holy Necro Batman, but I just can't resist adding to the sentiment that an LA Noir-esque set would be amazing.
Yes Please! Vintage LA would be fantastic. Im thinking, 1930's - 1940's.
A long time ago, my sister lived in Los Feliz which is an old part of Los Angeles and a great place to start... Perhaps something that reminds of (I am make a list for you to google) a street like the one that the Los Feliz 3 cinema is on, a building like the infamous Sowden House might be nice or the Ennis House and Bradbury Building (both of Blade Runner fame) or maybe even Pasadena's Gamble House.... Los Angeles is full of funky interesting archetecture...
Think Laural and Hardy, 1930's, "The Music Box" episode. Art deco was flourishing in the building design of the rich and fabulous, but just down the block you could still find orchards and farms and woodlands.
I used to walk to Busch Gardens from my Grandmothers house in the '70s. I would pass all of that on the way, orchards, farms.
Thats what I miss about the LA area...
Not the sprawl.
Or, what about Olvera Street? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olvera_Street .
I have a family history with Olvera Street.
...Streets of Zagreb and more London.
I agree with this too! Some Dickens-type rookeries would be ace!
There's a FaceBook page here, dedicated to pictures of Los Angeles before 1980. https://www.facebook.com/VintageLosAngeles/ Be careful, peeps. It's a worm-hole.
TBH, I'd prefer a vintage Miami or New York to LA. LOL

A while back, someone suggested New Orleans. 19th century New Orleans would definitely get my vote!
Cheers,
Alex.
+1000
Yes, that would be cool as well :)
FWIW, I just picked up Streets of Morocco and it really is beautiful :). I love it.

...
Epsecially Art Deco South Beach..
LA is nothing but urban sprawl.
Yep, old South Beach is what I was thinking of.
As for LA, I've been there. Meh, nothing sticks out really. LOL There are tons of towns I'd love to see before LA....Philadelphia, anywhere in New England, modern day Tombstone, AZ, Amsterdam, Bavaria and so forth. How about Paris? LOL

..there is a set over on Rendo which is a portion of the Vieux Carre. Apparently it seemed like it was to be part of a a continuing series. but haven't seen any additions yet.
Personally I would love one set in the Garden/Milan/Touro districts along St Charles Ave (with the streetcar in the boulevard) or Audobon/Carrolton districts (used to live in New Orleans in the Touro District on Napolean Ave).
@Stonemason
Here's one, from 4:07
I am neither an American nor old enough to have lived in the 1940's, but I do love film noir. So I second the vote for some old sets with streets/blocks and shopfronts from the 40s era.
Be nice if he would update it for iRAY and put it on sale for when your product hits.
Looks great Stoney!
@RAMWolff This was released in July 2017. It's just the thread that has been necroed...

@thd777, I think the Iray reference was for Faveral's gondola.
It's an excellent model for its age, but it might need a non-trivial amount of work done on it. I remember not long after Iray came out I had a go at converting the Gondola, and the materials are a bit awkwardly set up. Perfectly OK for rendering in Poser or 3Delight, but there's a lot of grouping together of what nowadays would usually be many separate surfaces into a few combined ones. A pretty common practice back then, IIRC.
Ooooooooooh, Old Miami would be amazing! I'm never asking for many things, am I?
