@HornOxx I'd have a difficult time making one of those legs out of real wood by hand. Getting four to match? Not likely.

@jo-ke Well done

SketchUp .style files are .zip files containing XML documents and images. It should be technically doable to recreate the abandoned Style Builder.

Ta mate.

Yes Box, I try not to think about how the world is, but normally to no avail. so many skills becoming redundant. Pretty sad. Also what I worry about is screen time for kids concerns me very much, I feel like we are living in an experiment

@Bryan-K Thanks. Beehive as in neighbors that manage to be loud even with concrete floors? Slamming doors. Slamming kitchen cabinets. Dropping 100 lbs objects on the floor. Kicking a soccer ball against a party wall. Setting off fireworks from the balcony. Constantly partying. Skate boarding in the apartment...

@marked001 The bad guys in the Streets of San Francisco and Rockford Files always played tennis.

Thanks gentlemen.

Thank you gentlemen.

Stunning work!

Thank you.

Magic.

I don't know mate I used AI, giving it quite a few prompts. I also used a visual prompt There is a very popular store in Australia called JB hi fi. Having studied a bit of Graphic design along with Industrial design When I saw the the JB logo I disliked it, I thought it looked cheap, but the graphic designers really new there stuff. The visual message is stand out and express "cheap" I did the experiment with putting this on a page with about a hundred normal thumbnail images and your eye goes straight to this image. they did a test on brand recognition an JB hi fi came in second after IKEA (Ickky)[image: 1743571908716-jb.png]

@tuna1957 thanks !!! @Mike-Amos Yes indeed, it may looks likt that. first I wanted to do something like the first christians . My new project 'La Vierge à la Mer ' , "Virgin with a sea", don't how to translate that actually. There is a game between the french words mer(sea) and mère(mother). A few weeks ago I was advised this youtubeur https://www.youtube.com/c/Bandesdessinées (in french, unfortunately) who made videos on art history, among others. Absolutely exciting. In one of his videos he spoke of the Trocadéro Heritage Museum(Paris,France) , moldings of tympanum of Romanesque churches, casts of medieval statues etc. I went there last Sunday, big big slap. Really magnificent, medieval tympanum integrated into the scenography, really damn. The works presented inspired me enormously. I will start with a work imposed by the statues of the last image. An Annunciation. In my version, the Archangel Gabriel is shown in the form of a winged tornado and the Virgin is at the end of her pregnancy her belly is a pregnant sea filled with fishes. The metaphor is obviously the amniotic fluid which becomes a sea from which Christians come (fish), brothers of Christ.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the comments. I put this up at the D5 Render gallery but deleted it since it didn't get any movement. I don't know what it is about the D5 Render forum but it rubs me the wrong way. Too many architects? I don't think I'll be posting there anymore.

@ntxdave Memory. This one is basically like your typical tract ranch with gable ends and a center bump-out. That combined with all the details and elevations I've done over the years. I start with an idea in my mind and go from there. Sometimes I'll mull things over in my head while before I go to sleep. I guess you can look at a lot of house pictures. I stick with standard wall heights, roof slopes, windows, roof types, etc.

All of the above, love 'em.

@Mike-Amos Hope you get things sorted out. I’ve had the same weird scaling issues with probably half my hdr’s and spherical jpeg’s.

@Mike-Amos Thanks Mike. Peaceful is what I was shooting for.
