Thats a nice site!
easy to navigate and load, like it should be.
And your 3d, well it kick as! :)

Are you using alot of ambient light in your interior scenes?
To get smooth subtile shadows in the corners.

Congratulations mon ami Herve

[Hervé]

Thanks alot Panikos... your congrats means a lot for me...

Ok now.... do you have the solution to the size particle problems... ? :D

[Panikos]

Bon soir mon ami Herve

Unfortunately my mind now is too busy, loaded, tired.
I saw the commercial you posted and your attempts.
Its hard for me to follow the thread and think about a solution.
Some fast ideas (some of them already said) :

- Clipmaps
- Compositing of two similar sequences , one with the geometry moving, the second with the geometry points as cubes and a controllable soft-wipe maybe
- if you start the particle size from very small growing up into normal-size cubes.
- Texture of the cubes can be a spherical reflection map of the initial geometry.
- some World-Coordinates texturing can help you.

Bon chance

Thanks for you advices.... I'll give it a shot...

Bonsoir mon ami Panikos.... !:)

My passion has always been architecture. Recently I have been attempting arch viz with LW. Your work is just great! Very nice renderings, so, anything you can pass on to others like myself would be appreciated. Modeling, texturing, lighting, anything!
