    Pete,

    Streets of the Med is my all time second favourite Stefan Morrell creation and you've done it proud here. (Village Courtyard, before you ask.) I really like the shadows and the way you've brought out the texture of the stonework.

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    Thank you Alex. Shame there aren't more Vue presets as the amount of work involved getting the surfaces set up is enormous.

    This one features the "Village Courtyard"

    Xoechz,

    I think the famous Hollywood phrase "mean, moody and magnificent" applies here.

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    P.S. I'm quite suprised that Stefan hasn't done a sequel to Village Courtyard, since it crops up all over the place so it's clearly a very popular set.

    Nicely done Pete. I like the mix of futuristic city in the distance, and an old fashioned lighthouse in the foreground. I never would've thought to mix the two. :coolsmile:

    Thanks Miss B. Like many of my images I didn't set out to do this. All I did know is I wanted the Parkside Point in the scene

    @MN-150374: I especially like your first one. The colors, lighting and depth of field give it a magical feel yet it looks like a place you could visit. (If that makes sense) Anyway, it's beautiful! :)

    Just a quick test of Sci-Fi Bedroom using Reality/LuxRender. I converted all the bumpmaps to normal maps using ShaderMap Pro, as normals work much better in Lux.

    Blender Cycles render using Casual's DS to Blender script http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/2877/

    This has a little Postwork as I couldn't get a mask of the laser glow as I would have needed to make mesh adjustments. With more time I could have though.

    I also put the image through Perfect Effects 8 using the Subtle HDR filter.

    All the glow effects were done in Blender's compositing node system.

    Background Utopia Deck C by: Stonemason

    all the lighting is provided by turning all the lights in the model to Mesh Lights, using Blackbody and Fall off.

    Pete,

    I've always had a soft spot for Utopia Labs. It was one of the first scenes I bought and my very first Stefan Morrell. There have been many more since then.

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    can anyone remember what scaling Greeble blocks 1 and 2 need to make them full size? Just saves me doing it all over again, something in the back of my mind says 1200%

    Here's one rendered in the first environment that I bought which happens to be "A Quiet Street". After browsing by vendor and looking at some of the other stuff, it is clear that a lot of time goes into the details on these! Very inspiring work on Stonemason's part. Look forward to purchasing a few more of these environments.


    I absolutely love the battered backstreets like in this one called appropriately "The Back Streets":

    They are all really damn fantastic!

    Can anyone tell me if the Utopia Labs set is viewable from 360 degrees?

    you can view anything from 360 degrees, if you mean is it a complete model then the answer is yes, weather it is interesting from a different angle is a matter of opinion.

    Yes, all sides have modeling details and textures on the outside of the building and on the interior courtyard.

    Urban Future 4 Street Level (rendered in Octane Render for DAZ Studio)

    Wonderful how this futuristic set can easily be turned into something that looks quite contemporary : )
    Oh, and there's a fully intact police car in 'City Ruins Vehicles' that can be used for non-dystopian scenes too.
    Great products!

    Cheers,
    Erik
