yes per request of Gaieus in another thread, he said it was screwing up the forum views for people when the image was too large... over 800 wide... so to insert it, it will have to be under 800 pixels... sorry... like I said, sometime in the near future we may have html... then we can have some fun... I like the roof slate... when I was younger, 12 to be precise... I lived in a concrete roofing tile factory, yes lived in... but anyway, the shapes and styles of the roof remind me of that material... this kind of stuff http://www.nps.gov/history/hps/tps/roofingexhibit/asbestos4a.htm

Gully, I'm not going to try to make an engineer understand (proper) design, aesthetics and such - from experience it just won't work. I don't want this thread to become a flame war so I'm going to close it. Sorry "jessalba" for closing your thread, I really like your attempt and the potential it has that can be developed.

Warren, Thanks so much for the kind feedback. Helpful and much appreciated. I was checking out DesignShare's 2007 new school design awards and found this school using curved green roofs which supports your comment about topography and viewing...and in this case, use. In my blissful naivete I'm not so concerned about the drainage as the structural viability of the roof concept. I've played around some with analog models of triangulated irregular networks (TINs) and believe that a very light roof may be possible using a TIN framework overlaid/integrated with a layer of reinforced plastic foam. I have a project on the Open Architecture Network site that presents this concept in more detail. I think if the roof structural concept proved viable the drainage issues could be managed. Following is an image of the layers I think would be necessary in a roof of this type. From the top down (vegetation, soil, rubber membrane, reinforced foam, interior membrane).

Also you can insert an infinite plane in Kerky so that your model does not seem to be floating in open space. Otherwise getting really nice, indeed.

Hi Tim, that's a nice result actually! Glad you managed to finish it!

ps. thanks Fred - your stuff on here is by far the most interesting - keep it up. Except that leaf thing. hehehehehe.

Like Kris said, I don't use Layout at all. James, it is possible, and I do it all the time, to place an image just outside the building in the SketchUp model. No need for Photoshop. See attached. Edit: I know the perspective is all off, this is just a quick example.

@jeff jacobs said: @tim danaher said: Jeff -- You forgot the most important thing about the modo-SU import plug-in: they charge $99 for it... Tim, You never looked better! As for the the 99 bucks, yea I don't WANT to pay for it, but if it saves a lot of time then I don't mind. Forceps delivery. What can you do, huh? As an aside, I recently had a look at Microspot Interiors Pro...this small firm has added native .skp import to the program (for free), and it works flawlessly...everything comes in just as it should, even my largest models. Why can't a slick organisation line Luxology get this right? And Martin is looking into adding native .skp support for Cheetah, now that the SDK is freely available. An .skp in a Smart Folder...how cool would that be?

Who is this "poly" everyone keeps talking about? I've never seen her post her before.... Great work guys! Enjoying the thread. ...still waters, run deep.... Tina Anne Stiles, ASAI Quality Digital Watercolor Architectural Illustrations

Thanks a lot for the compliment, Bill.. and of course I don't mind jenujacob

I don't mind Whaat. Fire away! I just had two margaritas and a chilles rellenos at Panchos in Vancouver, it's BC Day weekend, and our hotel overlooks the English Bay and the fireworks that begin in 3 hours! Two hours and one thread. Not bad Whaat. Keep em coming. I've always liked the look of Indigo renders, but I'm on a mac and haven't even loaded up a Bootcamp Widoze yet or I'd give it a whirl. Try to get the aluminum mullions more "aluminumy" and the floor needs a bit of a sheen. The radiosity must of been up high becuase you have a lot of bounce color in the ceiling. I would like to see more.

The atmosphere on these is really cool. I can actually hear Miles Davis or Sade in the background. Lounging with a glass of wine after a long day watching the mood lighting change colors randomly. All the while hearing the intermittent horn or siren in the background, the city night winding up.

fine fine..i will scale everything up REVI21ON visualization Report this post

Whaat, That's still insane! Very Happy
