    Makes sense to me.

    Would be correct to assume he has a team, or at least some other people to help him? If he does all this himself, then the answer is no he can't possibly sleep.

    No he doesn't have a team. He is a lone PA. He is just the best in the industry. We all strive to be even close to his ability.

     

     

    Yep.  He and Jack are our rock stars. :D

    No, he doesn't. Because he is an alien android, that doesn't need sleep. His mission here is to observe and cataloguing human environments. He sends those datas home to his planet. In order to pay the costs for interstellar data transmissions he sells those datas here at DAZ too. That's how it works ... I guess. :D

    ...I thought he just had a constant IV drip of espresso.

    ...very true.

    ..so MM is coming up, will we possibly see Urban Sprawl 3?

    I always love Stonemasons stuff so well done and look so very awesome and one last thing is that he provides both a 3Delight and Iray Preset in all of his products..

    and now DAZ finally fixed the FBX export in 4.9 I can get his sets relatively easily into Carrara without the obj import  UV wrap issues, otherwise via Poser not too bad after using D3D DSON loader

    so this is gonna be a future buy too.

    Mud Tracks of Arrowtown 1865?

  • StonemasonStonemason Posts: 1,230

    heh,I was down there just last year..Arrowtown could make for a cool set, and it's almost autumn too which is the best time to visit(for reference gathering purposes of course ;) )

    Someday I'd like to see Stonemason do a high fantasy city set. Probably unlikely, but it'd be awesome to see where he took it.

    Rotorua hot springs for all my sexy tribal tatooed hunks to give me mud massages in on my next virtual holiday?

    oops did I say that out loud?

    Currently loving After The War. Perfect for my story.

    When you are a Daz user...sleep is an option.

    Just imagine what he could do if he could make Urban Sprawl in one day like that guy from the other discussion!  wink

    Well, I can imagine Stonemason using Sketchup for the main basic mesh, then refining with 3DS or Zbrush for the terrain and fibermesh for the greens, but is a theory.

    Urban Sprawl 3 is at the top of my wishlist at the moment. I don't suppose you have any teasers you could drop? I've been eagerly awaiting that set since you announced you were working on it. Given the detail in your recent sets, it's no surprise it's going to take a while to polish off.

    The overpass looks very much like a scene out of the Last of Us (excellent game, btw), so it seems like just the thing for some zombie-themed renders.

    Looks like a very cool place!  I visited a place similar to this over Thanksgiving in Texas, took lots of pictures, but unfortunately, it will be a looooooooooong before I have any mad Stonemason-like skills so I really hope you decide to do something like this.  That would be awesome!

    I have always wanted to retire in Rotorua...I can handle the smell. :)

    It will fit , just put the containers included in the scene and still enough space bellow and on bottom for the rolling stock 

    OK, thanks - but I'll let you ride up top.  wink

    Wow, thanks for the links Stefan, especially the last one, had no idea they were used that regularly there. I tend to see them way more on TV than in real life here in the US and usually the odd one at a construction site or at the docks.

    Sounds like an excellent idea to me.  How about one of the elf cities from The Lord of the Rings crossed with the Streets of Old London?

    Cheers,

    Thanks guys...got plenty more coming!

    TesseractSpace said:

    I mean really, these awesomely detailed sets keep coming!  The Under the Overpass set looks like so many places I've been and walked past in the cities I've lived in.  

     

    So many details in models and textures. It'd take me years to make one of those sets and this one comes out not that long after the amazing Streets of Tuscany.

     

    More comming..... !!!!!!!!

    Wow....... I love your "stuff".................... so please, could you give us just a few hints of what you are working on, and what is comming our way................?

    I could lie in bed at night then and grin to myself, thinking about all the goodies I can do with those dream items.

    Oh, and another really important question..... are you really one person, and a really big group of very skilled and brilliant people working together?

    "Someday I'd like to see Stonemason do a high fantasy city set."

    Yep, I've said before that I would pay Turbosquid prices for a Stonemason medieval fantasy town. I know sci-fi and modern-day are more his thing though, which is why I'm thankful for Merlin and Faveral as well.  :)

    I picked this set up immediately.  Also, here's a fun link to a startup that's trying to take container homes to a brand new level:  http://kasita.com/kasita/

    I wad thinking some of the cities from Exalted like Chiaroscuro or Rathess, but that's just because I was never a LOTR fan. 

    But I like the idea of cities built with magical technolgies where designers might be accomodating visitors that fly, residences for Dragon Kings...

    Tai Tastigon might be an interesting challenge.

  • Oso3DOso3D Posts: 15,093

    Well, Cloud Temple is fairly fantasy-ish.

    I've used it in a bunch of fantasy renders. ;)

    It is a nice set, I was thinking more a nice Streets of thing, like Urban Future 4's street level. (Chinatown looks like it could be good for Nexus if some of the more modern trappings were removed or altered.)
