Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Since this is/was pretty much a free time exercise, it may take longer than I thought ( especially because of my limited texturing skills ) I could use a good advice on achieving realistic, weathered look with textures.

nice job.....

I like it very much, thanks stinkie

Fantastic modeling I particularly like the clean detail well done

It does not need to be too exact, just need to export some renderings that show that the hourglass is filled... I guess I will try Sketchyphysics and see what happens. Thanks!

Thanks Jamal, Its always interesting to learn about others jobs and how they use SketchUp. Mike

How about adding a ground plane to show some caustics.

and a podium, almost raw render. Just two clicks PP. [image: pUhx_20100228012800_25s.jpg]

Here goes another one: Model by Enrico (music Nine Inch Nails) [flash=640,385:1y83mr7y]http://www.youtube.com/v/OSPSQSM81Og&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0[/flash:1y83mr7y] hope you find it interesting, I think you can see that Lorenzo (the first one) is more technological, Dario (the second one) is more life enthusiastic, and this one is more childish and war-centric. guzman.

A handy tip from a Canadian for next time: Its pretty good (what am I saying its amazing!), but some snow on the cabin itself will look more natural in a scene such as this, honestly it looks like the cabin has just been moved there (by an unknown force...).

oh the humanity! Very Nice~!

me either... thanks Tridem, (and Majid) good comments. fixed pool now [image: LqiU_EveningShot800_web_twl.jpg]

@olishea said: that bonsai looks amazing!! so funny! hey thats the car I rendered a while back!! its nice to work with! great work! Thanks Oli, that bonsai..lol..it's just a concept of a high poly tree.

@daniel said: Excellent work. A careful examination of the photos and HABS drawings shows that the textile blocks were not used for the steps, but rather smaller, plain square blocks. Yes, but photos say otherwise.

nice..oli... tahts good stuff

@jol said: I like the chair too, powder coated steel maybe? make a real one. Stackable perhaps? And find a manufacturer. sorry for the late post mate, i'm just a student so i don't have the resources to build it but it would be nice to see them in reality... renders are as close as i'll ever come LOL on the first post i've just updated it with another image... [see below] i've recently been browsing the ASGVIS forums and came across a gallary post called "simple interior" created by: "Omar" which i loved... so i asked the author if i may recreate his image but in a more modern style... and he agreed, so here i show you my result, hope you all like it I have used a few designer furniture for this; LeCorbusier LC2 Sofa LeCorbusier LC2 Armchair Prouve Gueridon Table Aaron R Thomas table lamp [image: ruIC_imitation-forum.jpg]
