I'm starting to really be passionate about architectural 3D visualization and your channel helps me a lot to improve my skills. Thanks Steven!

[@ShowItBetter]

thanks Francis! I am glad you like it. Let me know if there are any specific tutorials on visualization you would like to see! 👇

[@francisjaytimosa9838]

@@ShowItBetter Steven I look forward to seeing tutorials on visualization of projects near lakes or bodies of water. Since most of your works were in forests.

[@randatallah2385]

this is my first comment on youtube for 12 years but really can't skip this without saying THANKS! no word can describe how much I value your content. you inspire me a lot

[@ShowItBetter]

You're very welcome Rand! Glad you liked this, really appreciate it!

[@turabalikhan1341]

This is exactly why I love vray. So much control and always learning something new. Can't seem to max out vray. The shadows, the detail, the realism absolutely brilliant. You do feel like a scientist working with vray. And btw all images are very artistic and pleasant to look at. Each image seems to tell a different story. I literally want to be inside each image and experience it. Out of all the images, I loved the concrete house one (on the hilly terrain and realistic background pine trees). Btw I have never had so many cups of coffee in my life!

[@abhinavanand_661]

Thankyou Steven for sharing these videos for the past 6 years your videos have inspired and thought me a lot . Thanks a ton Looking forward to doing this challenge.

[@ShowItBetter]

You’re welcome Abhinav! Glad you’ve sticked through these years and also looking forward to seeing your results!

[@eriksoriano9928]

For the past 4 to 5 years I have lost the inspiration/ desire to be creative. My work has slowly pushed me to think more technical leaving no room for it. I had the opportunity to dable into enscape for work and just saw your escape beginner video then moved onto this one. Your video is a huge inspiration, I haven't felt this motivated in a while. Thank you Steven!

[@ShowItBetter]

you are welcome Erik! I too am feeling super inspired latetly

[@juliusconmigo1262]

I love these so much, each project made me smile! they all were whimsical and spontaneous , do more!

[@xiadisun8715]

Nice work！ I'd like to know more about how did you use the color panel in photoshop to make the final images. Looking forward to seeing your tutorial.

[@ShowItBetter]

Thanks Xiadi! Great idea, it is a big topic so it deserves a complete video tutorial, will sure add it to the list!

[@esmeraldabautista9241]

I love your videos so much! I like the idea of "dailies". I am an architecture student graduating this upcoming May with my undergraduate degree, and I remember my professor making us do "daily work" and it was so painful :P However, you have given me a different perspective on looking at things with this video. Thank you so much for sharing your work with us. I know the final video is short and polished, but the work you put into it it takes must be insane!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU! Keep setting high standards :D

[@ShowItBetter]

thanks Esmeralda! It is a lot of work and I appreciate you noticing! Dailys are a great excercise to get better at any skill for sure

[@ranadheerArya]

Hey, that’s some real crazy work flow to improves ourselves and what you did is so amazing, I totally loved it. Can I know what plug-in you used for vegetation in sketchup please?

[@ShowItBetter]

Go for it!

[@wianvandermerwe82]

The Friday one is my favorite, think its because of the mystical / austere vibe

[@ShowItBetter]

its my fav too! I also think its a result of the practice of the other ones lol

[@franzmauer9761]

Your conclusion at the end it´s the important thing. While I was looking all the different kind of scenes that you produce, they are really great by the way, but too much change in a little time frame. The challenge it´s very good but I think that first, like you said, you have to stablish a working time; then two or three excersice to do all the week, so in that way you can jump in and out of each work several times and avoid burnout. The limits makes you focus on your work and be mentally less tired. Great work man! Thanks for all your videos!

[@ShowItBetter]

completely completely agree!

[@yannickb1992]

Interesting video! Maybe I will try something similar when I find the time and see if I improve. If I could rate them in terms of composition, atmosphere etc. I would say thursday, friday and sunday are the winners. And if I'm really honest, I didnt quite like monday and tuesday. Wedsnesday and saturday are alright. Overall you can clearly see that you progressed a lot when you look at the images at the start of the week and the end of the week.

[@ShowItBetter]

haha I feel the same! towards the end were better

[@rajendrameena150]

Your video give me the idea to complete one architecture project render including interior/exterior in 3ds max and corona renderer. I was struglling for 1 year to do so. It is a creative and self driven work not achieving any monetary value thats why i just procrastinated but as an artist it grow you from inside.

[@ShowItBetter]

go for it!

[@nikovaltteri8860]

[@vibearchvizstudio]

Hi, thanks for the amazing video! Can you give me more details about vray scattering? There is a scattering tool inside vray? thanks!

[@davidgarraza]

At first I thought it was the same image every day... That would’ve been a fun challenge too. Different lighting, weather conditions, season, entourage... How much you can squeeze a specific scene. You should give it a try.

[@ShowItBetter]

hadn´t thought of that! Yeah that would be a good idea too!
