Here's a random chair from the cab for your viewing pleasure. Currently I'm trying to get the lighting to look a bit better, and the glass to not be either invisible or milky.

Looking great Kerm, can't wait to see some technical drawings, speaking of which I'll have to post the render and plans I have for my DIY hovercraft.

Oh definitely, that sounds cool. In the meantime, here's some tables and armchairs in the sitting room-type area.

this reminds me of the still life I did with CADKey a few years ago, though obviously a much bigger scene. Nice work

Ah indeed, I remember being quite impressed by that. Here's some dashboard renders from my work today:

Bumpity bumpity bump. Indoor fluorescent fixture round out the rooms nicely. Still need some incandescent fixtures for the sitting room and bedrooms, furniture in the kitchen, bathoom, and bedrooms, but I'm getting towards sight of the end, at least as far as my project for class is concerned.



Edit: What would bedrooms be without beds?


Edit #2: Presenting HVAC vents and ceiling fans. Oh, the joys of lighting and shadow and reflections.

Final renders for the CPRR1 presentation I gave in class! Click to enlarge, obviously.

well done sir, well done.

Thank you, sir. I'll try to put it together in some form for a tech report for posterity.

In my Principles of Engineering class we use AutoDesk Inventor 2009 and so far I like it better then AutoCAD 2009 because it is far more user friendly and creates better renders.

Inventor is nice, but I think if you put the lighting together properly AutoCAD 2009's renders are superior.
