Thanks for the compliments but the credit really goes to the programmers of TFP - it is an incredibly capable program and it constantly amazes me what it is possible to do with it. As I have commented before, what it can do is only limited by ones imagination.
I created this office building when I saw an image on a poster illustrating a building that is to be constructed on a property adjacent to where I work. The style of the building inspired me and I took it as a challenge to see if TFP could create an image similar to the one on the poster. It did, without any problem and I will guarentee that the software (TFP) was a fraction of the cost of the one used for the poster and I will guarentee too that the company who created the image were paid a fortune for it! I am in the wrong business I think!
Most of the work I do is voluntary work for the construction of churches and in these cases I do inside detail as much as outside, preparing images and movies, in various colour schemes and styles. These are usually both projected to hundreds of people, as well as printed and made into CD presentations, so that decisions can be make on colours, decor and styles etc.
I have not yet done the inside of the office building. I intend to do the main entry and ground floor and maybe one of the upper office floors, but as it is just for my own interest and experimenting with TFP, it will have to wait until I have the time between other things.
This model was actually all just done on a laptop to and from work on a daily half hour train trip. I did not time how long it took but it was not very long - just a few day trips, so just a few hours. Rendering the images takes longer than creating the model. While it may look impressive, the multiple floors are only replications of the first floor. Do the ground floor, then the first floor, and then just replicate the first floor as many times as you want. The replications only take seconds to do. It is TFP that is clever not me!! Anyone familiar with the program can do the same thing.
I don't know whether you noticed (if you have moved to V14), that one of the office images above is used during the installation process of V14. There are several of Jack images too. I am pleased to hear that it gives you the incentive to keep working with TFP.
The images below are of an office remodel I did a couple of years back - they were done in V11. V12 and now V14 are much more flexible.
