Finally rendered: Kuwait competition, blast from the past project.

I finally finished updating the Sketchup model that had been converted from 3D AutoCad, and got through rendering, following some added touches to the interior.  To create the bokeh effect, I popped some of the renders into Photoshop and applied a lens blur to a gradient mask.

Lots of work...made me wonder if it would have been easier to simply rebuild from the 2D cad files instead. Still, I've had my eye on redoing this in Sketchup for a very long time because I knew that it would come out spectacular.

Kuwait competition -- another project reworked.

Here's another blast from the past project that I worked on.  Some 12 years ago, this was built in 3D in AutoCad, then rendered via 3DS Max.  I'm still working on fixing the model up after importing it into Sketchup (there is a lot of work to be done!), but it's definitely going to be worth it.

I didn't do the design; I gave my input on the design to the head designer, though, and it reflects a lot of my personal style.

Here's a peek into where it stands right now.  When it's all done, I'll show the updated model.
