It's been way too long - A job change a few years ago took me away from modeling and rendering and until the last few weeks I hadn't opened SketchUp in over a year. I had some free time over the weekend and decided to challenge myself to create a scene from an inspiration image I saved a while back. I probably should have let the views render a little longer to clean up some of the noise.
Very pretty! The organic curve of the balustrade(? I'm never sure what those are called ) makes a nice contrast with the sharp edge line of the opposite side of the steps, ans the lines of the steps themselves. Very nice visual impact and a gorgeous render.
Would like to see that first pic noise free!
