Again with the tilted walls! :banghead: Very SWEET pictures btw.

I dont think he knows you can build walls that are plumb. He must be a designer or an architect. wait... LOL

Very nice Cliff. Are you out of the Vegas office? Our sister company is JBA in Las Vegas.... I wonder if we work together on BIM projects?

[cliff collins]

Hey Steve,

No--I'm in the St. Louis office. And yes, we work with JBA--they are the MEP for the hotel project in the 4th image.
( They tend to use a "hybrid" Revit and Cad approach for MEP work......yikes! )

SO can you hook me up with a few rooms after it's completed?? :laugh:

[cliff collins]

You kiddin'? I'm just the lowly Architect/BIM Manager.

You'd have to go up the food chain for those kind of perks.........

I think that project was some time ago. They have full on Revit capabilities now. It was very difficult to produce plumbing in the earlier versions prior to 2011 and to be honest it is still not fixed even in 2012. But they just did a amazing job on a indian casino fully Revit all trades.

For the second image, have you played around with the "glare" shader at all? Might make that sun reflection pop a bit and soften toe disk edges.

That image was 100% Revit--not rendered in Max!

Good tip, though!
