Hmm well before all the good peoples renders start to show up I'll sneak in and show the two i didn't go with for the contest.
Both using the ally set from the dark places bundle.
Those images definitely qualify as "good people's renders". :)
yep, definitely very good, I esp like the first one, amazing.
Good Featuring Fringe characters Alley way Click on link for large file

Awesome guys!..I'm looking forward to seeing some cool images!!

(P.S. I need more large scale SciFi environments...)
I love these old HG Wells war of the worlds bots.
Title: Jungle Kitty
Uses "The Enchanted Forest".
i used the Enchanted Forest , City Ruins, and the Medieval House for these renders..... i find that i pull out the enchanted forest 1&2 a lot when i am doing renders i just love all the foliage and trees.
This is a great idea. The Village Courtyard is one of my favorites.
Here's some of my older ones that have a strong Stonemason presence in them...
something done long ago
One of the preliminary ideas for one of my submissions in the contest. I call it "Bad wine!"
Evening Stroll was made a few years back, the other is still WIP and won't be finished for some time to come which is a mix of Urban Future 3 and 4, Urban Sprawl with a few freebies thrown in for good measure. Some Stonemason signs we remapped and some signs I made in Blender and textures home made. Still a long way to go before it is finished, printed and on my wall. Yes the alley is Jack Tomalin's Mar Souks 2012 but everything else is pretty much Stonemason. :)
Couple of my older renders with Stefan's products.
Really love how the second one is coming along mate, great work son :) - canr wait to see the finished image.
Thanks Dad.
Matty could post an unsigned render anywhere on the net and it would be instantly recognizable as his...
Thanks Wancow!
I can not thank Stonemason enough for his outstanding work. These scenes couldn't have been possible without it!
These are my two entries for the Stonemason Catalog contest that ended this month. Hope you like them.
The first one is:
The Impostor
Stonemason products used:
Urban Future 4, Mech 2012 Enforcer
The second one is:
Dead or Alive
Stonemason product used:
Urban Future 3
Here is one called "Containment" I started for the contest using Faded Industry but stopped before it finished baking, just felt like it didn't "stand out" enough.
I've used StoneMason stuff for quite a few of my renders. They generally come out pretty good in LuxRender, too.
Streets of Asia 2
High Fashion in the Streets of Asia
Village Courtyard
Lavender Angel
Streets of the Mediterranean
Going Clubbing (NSFW)
Return to Enchanted Forest
Forest Walk
Huntress in the Woods
Medieval Castle
Welcome to My Island Home (NSFW)
Urban Future 4
On The Hunt (NSFW)
That Way (also has the Mech Enforcer bot)
Urban Future 3
Air Pursuit (NSFW)
Skydeck
Always Raining on the Skydeck (NSFW)
And more... It's nice to see quality environment props (and even figures -- I love the CamBot) in multiple genres. I also like that StoneMason products often include normal maps instead of bump maps, which is part of what makes then render better in LuxRender.
I realized the other day that I had not done any dragon renders yet.
Stonemason is the goto for Ruins.
I used Castle ruins and jungle ruins.
...awesome work guys, out of town on vacation still but have something ive wanted to add. i think we all agree that Stonemasons products are not only top quality but are modular and provide excellent value. So many times (I manage in retail, hence the grey hair) I see people who only voice an opinion if its negative, so i think its well deserved to show appreciation. Thanks to everyone for posting and i hope we can keep this going for awhile.

My first render with the new Cryo props: Cryo Cargo Inspection
I just wanted to share this fun news regarding my use of Stonemason's fantastic sets:
So a render I made this week using Stonemason’s Dark Places Back Alley called Predator Vs. The Zombie Apocalypse is getting a ton of traffic on FB. Someone had reposted my image (fortunately giving me credit) on Stan Winston’s School of Character Arts official page. 1300 likes and climbing! https://www.facebook.com/StanWinstonSchool
This is the biggest exposure I have gotten with any of the art, music or video editing I have done so I am super happy and grateful! Thank you to Stonemason once again for his amazing work. This new picture wouldn’t have even been possible with out his amazing 3D architecture.
Thanks.
...love the last one.
...here's one I meshtbashed long ago using his Deco Club, Cargo Doors and freebie Cylinder (as the keg taps) with a lot of bots.
..."where everybody knows your Serial Number...".
