Thank you for taking the time to answer, it looks good and I can't wait to see more.

For an overnightish render usually around 2400 px. The time varies depending on how complex your atmosphere is and the render settings. There are two areas that allow for Quality Boosts. These will get the grain out of the clouds etc., but adds render time. Also how you set the render to either GA, GI or GR (global radiance taking the longest) will also affect the time. I set up my machine specifically for VUE. It is a DELL quad core, 64-bit with 12 GB of RAM & an NVIDIA graphics card with 2 GB.

That's good to hear that the work flow has been simplified... what kind of resolutions are you rendering over night? 1500 px, 3000 px, 5000 px? What are your machine specs if you don't mind?

thanks, those are good suggestions. I started in Vue doing mostly landscapes and fantasy,and have only recently started using it for architectural renderings. Now that I can go directly from SketchUp to Vue (rather than a 3Ds intermediate) it is pretty smooth. Because I have been working in Vue for years the crashing is only a minor problem and can usually render the image overnight. Having the most compatible hardware (graphics card by NVIDIA etc.) makes a huge difference in the stability of the VUE program. The e-on site has more specifics.

It looks really nice Robert. I think overall the image might be a little dark... it seems to have a lot of contrast to it. The modeling looks fine, you have a break in the lowest planter on the corner that doesn't look like it should be there. You can see a little tiling in the concrete texture... but its not too noticeable. I have always liked a lot of the Arch Viz that is done in Vue... but I always hear such horror stories about render times and crashing, etc... How long have you been working with Vue? What is your experience with it?
