Well could you? Send it to India? And why not provide NPR to the bored client? Actually you could send the job to the Philippines and get a super NPR job from a great guy (Alan Casas). I think the same thought (outsourcing) has been around for a long time with CAD production, but I am convinced I cannot do it effectively. There will also be cheaper producers out there whether they do it in house or outsource, and I don't intend to compete with them (in cost). You can also get less expensive PR and NPR in the "West" from great people, if you know where to look. I like to see (and use) NPR too.

Really nice view/render, when can I move in?

Another one to show some perspective. [image: CGLl_CONCEPTCENTREAAerialsmallersize.jpg]

@lz said: Very nice job. Materials and choice of colors are great. But that blur seems a bit too intense, especially with nothing extremely obvious in the foreground. I agree, I think the DOF needs to be on the extreme foreground as well. That should balance the image a bit more Apart from that great work

It looks very credible, well done

A belated than you to Cotty who spotted my error in step one, Thanks very much it IS appreciated. Sorry I did not do that earlier.

@tadema said: Thanks Steve, hoping you have another great model cooking away in the background. John Been devoting a lot of my time trying to keep the old place going during this hellish lake-effect Winter here, but have been working on a collection of "one-of-a-kind" vehicles when I get the chance. A lot of them are unfinished but am thinking about posting some of them here anyhow. Your work continues to impress, simply incredible. Take care, Steve

K Pahel i just tried to match a still image i found on the net. The trick is to stay loose with the volume and scale it while it's simple until it resembles your camera which you should try and estimate early on. Sean just dive in and GO FOR IT ! Leon thanks.

Looks great Victor as always great attention to detail and a classy engine . I guess the client forced you to add the people and make it "cheesy" !

e basic premise of my fun with 3d modeling is to use legitimate free programs. Therefore, rather I will not use Vray. Unless I carry a model for a colleague who professionally deals with the modeling of the architecture.

thank you.

thank you

@august said: When I was a teen I used to follow Model Railroading and was fascinated by articles that were tutorials on building models like this in brass and motorizing them. This work appears to involve many of the same skills and passions, without requiring a lathe or drillpress. I linger with pleasure over the photos. There is beauty here in your remembrance of some beautiful machines. Thank you. The truth is I look over lots of paper model builds (mostly because the people building these models painstakingly document their work, making building individual pieces in 3D much easier, along with some factory blueprints). They're also very fun to build. I have many more renders here if you like- http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=81%26amp;t=54436 (one of the images has a faulty valve gear, I know). They're all Eastern European locomotives

All 2D documents were produced in Layout.

Looks good but isn't the garage door much too close to the edge of the wall?

Thank you very much Frenchy. I appreciate it.

@unknownuser said: Really great work Chuck!. I am also interested in seeing some of your construction docs in layout. Have you compared the detail and time to produce this work against some other BIM programs like Revit, Vectorworks or Archicad? It would be interesting to me and I am sure others to see how our SU stands up next to the "$eriou$" software. Hi Jim, An essential component of these VBE's are that they are readily distributable and accessible to and by contractors and builders. I have worked in various different modeling and drawing softwares and, for me, Sketchup and Layout, even with all their blemishes, were the way to go. But I can't really give an indication of time comparisons, ease of use, etc vs the big softwares, sorry. I can say that I wish Trimble was more aggressive with the development of both Sketchup and layout; there are definitely aspects of both that cause me heartache and time wasted. Both are way too unstable, in my opinion, and Layout just takes too many damned clicks of the button to be a real joy (I would pay serious money just for the ability to move a dimension to one end of the dimension line, as in Sketchup, without the 6 well-timed clicks it takes now; that alone costs me days of time over a year, for example)

@lz said: Nice. Seeing the first one, you might try to go for a haunted house interior sort of thing. Lots of dark blues, greens, spider webs and stuff like that. They always look good. Already did that I may post some pictures, or maybe some video clips later. Thanks for the comments. Cheers

That's a bummer, not being able to catch the holidays. Your utility is god-tier Ken. Hope all is well!
