great texturing! great image.

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
