Fred, That first group is growing on me now....so I think you may be right about the texture not being the problem. Plus - I would love to have a little 1' high solid model of the "dinosaur rib cage" sculpture on my desktop! I would promise to turn it slightly every day so I would be able to peer into it from a different persective. Bytor

Simply stunning work, Tom! Your presentation certainly gives a "warm fuzzy" to me. I would think the style would really help sell the concept. Thanks again for sharing, John S.

Awesome work there fbartels, you wouldn't expect you could use Sketchup to create works of art, it just shows you the countless applications SU has. Have you ever printed or published any of your work related to these?

Hi all It's not yet finished cause I don't have time to but i decided to share . just one side is 2,3mb. THX all a_380.skp

If so, you should try to export it as OBJ and import it to KT, and you'll notice that the vase will be smoother... Reason for this being that SU2KT doesn't export vertex welding and smoothing surfaces will appear more angular. majid: thanx , good advise . i'll try the way Also with .obj export you can do loop subdivision in KT! Helps a lot with low poly SU models. I just wish that vertex welding issue would be fixed soon in SU2KT.

That is really cool, indeed! But could you rather attch the images straight to your posts (imageshack can very often be sooo slow to load)

Really nice presentation Eric. I like the interior shots, really helps get the feel for the place... makes me want to sing all my favorite hymns

I agree, just experimenting its a HDRI. I'll have have to find some high def HDRIs ,or work out which setting I need to tweek.

I'm not sure I have your email address. Send an email to [image: Support-email.PNG] and I'll send your the .SKP @unknownuser said: i didn't want to start a new thread for sponza in glass so i'm just doing a little hijacking here ... can you email the skp to me as well?

Tom that is wonderful as usual. Spence, I would love to see those slides. Will PM you my email. When I saw the first set, the green ones, my first thought was: exhaust pipes for a sweet ride.

thanx PKast . maybe because I am a painter (kidding) . BTW thanx for your words

No No No there is no doubt that Skp have lots of dedicated Ruby script developers, but i mean to say some thing extra from the google side as we all know from the begining Skp was a trendsetter like the pushpull tool.( even Au...CAD now have it ) just like that a totaly new way of organic modelling ( me be i am expecting much ) but why not ?

Hi everybody. Thanks for using my model for rendering tests. [image: qkiG_SIDWIP-014.jpg] This was the one I've done with Kerkythea. If you'd like to see more rendered models you can visit or my site, or directly my web album at Picasa All models are available in the Warehouse, except the Grendizer model, cause is still in progress.

the sky/tree trick is a good one to remember, thanks!

Thanks, Durant. I've always enjoyed reading your posts....glad your back.

Thank you guys for your nice comments. Actually my son doesn't pay too much attention to this picture, he is already kind of blasé..! Kim, I'll post this one on the KT forum, just to give details on the lights (9 IES + 2 panels/emitters).

I'm using Piranesi version 5. ver 5 is better more than ver 4.

Like a sky dome or a global hdri just sideways, right?

Very nice model! I greatly enjoy your posts. More, please! (As for the style - I agree with Kwisten. This kind of stuff proves Tom Wolfe wrong. Though maybe not in a way he'd like. )

Ever finish the animation?
