Best way to produce poster size image

dimer182 — Wed, 14 May 2008 21:20:36 GMT

I am in my terminal studio for architecture and have been using podium for a while. I want to do one large exterior "money shot" of my building probably a 24"x36". What would be the best way to produce that sort of large image in podium. I've tried the default.xml with the largest size in podium 3,000 something cant remember off hand. I then interpolate it with photozoom and run unsharpen mask in PS. Is that the best I can get. It looks pretty good but not great. Thanks for your ideas,
scott

Finally got some time to get back into SU again after two months of straight drafting in ADT, so i decided to spend the rest of the week rendering old SU models in Podium.

Quick exterior and interior shots comments are welcome, more to come later this week.

i need to re-create this lighting effect

acoffma — Wed, 14 May 2008 15:51:35 GMT

ok ok i know the rules about posting but im gonna have to break one. we are doing this renovation project for our art museum and glass gallery and the images attached are renderings done about this time last year when they were in the first preliminary stages of design. a buddy of mine who went off to grad school do most of the model and rendered them in kerky (yeah i know, trust me i spent hours trying to get him to swing the podium way!). anyways the final presentation is coming up next week and my boss really likes the spot light effect to engage the art pieces. ive tried every way i know but i cant seem to find a way to get it perfect. ive tried using a cone, grouping it and giving it a light factor but the wash effect is too light and the burn spot is like 10x's as intense. if anyone could help that would be awesome. thanks

new tv set

renderbilly — Tue, 13 May 2008 07:49:39 GMT

Hello everybody,
heres a new tv set that I rendered quickly in the last days.

Can anybody tell me whats the easiest way to light a room nicely.
Place omni lights every 1 or 2 meters and even in some layers ?
And what is the best form? A cube or anything else. I need "constant" light
Thank you very much

Evening Courtyard

Earth_Mover — Tue, 13 May 2008 02:26:04 GMT

This is a little scene I just threw together to do some testing for some low voltage lights I made. It came out pretty neat, yet kind of creepy. Any advice on the lights is welcomed. I used very little post processing, so this could look a lot better.

Lighting through window

billet323 — Mon, 12 May 2008 14:44:52 GMT

I have a question... I have been researching the site... and ive been trying to figure out how to get really good lighting through the windows... and its been discussed to an extent... I can do regular lighting just fine... But im trying to use a baked on transparent image and have light omitting through that? Is this possible? If i use a background LEM light its makes the image completely white... no matter what.... and if i use an omni i cant get enough light through? Im sure its something i need to continue working with to figure it out... But if anyone has any suggestions i would greatly appreciate it :) Thank you

new user, experimenting

Hi

I just purchased the full version of Podium, and have been trying to learn the ins and outs.

This is a work in progress shot of a simple loft apartment type interior, with a few of the lights from the downloadable light fixture plugin package. There is some post work in Photoshop, overlaid layer of a hidden line render from Sketchup, and then another overlay layer of paper texture on top of that.
