yes, I am a Vietnamese, and this for the Vietnamese Kitchen

sorry matt.. my question should be about the "spokes" but i type in "rims". my bad...

Thanks for the tutorials - I'm studying hard!

All of my render work is post processed,it helps particularly when a client wants to change things,even if the model/building needs to be revised.Post means that you can not only change the environment,but because sketchup is so easy to use,the turn around is much faster than programs i previously used. Ive just recently seen that Trimble is taking over sketchup.My viewpoint is that with the plugins and rubys available to me at the moment,it dosent make a difference to what happens to sketchup as it stands.I have worked with sketchup4,5,6(skipped 7)and now 8.Right now I can build models with sketchup and have a final product I can be proud of - I dont need a new version. I guess we will have to wait and see what exactly happens with sketchup but its not like they can delete the program from our hardrives...(or can they...) (The paragraphs above are available in dusk,sunset,storm and summers-day)

Hey and welcome! Very elegant stairway. Are you planning concrete?

looks great! - Not sketchup, but if you have CorelDRAW or Adobe Illustrator, but have features they will take a scan and convert to vector output. Sometimes it is a little hit and miss, but you can then clean it up. Another way that would be fairly easy and accurate is to import into autocad and trace it. Just some alternate ways.

@daniel said: Nice renderings, as usual, Jason. I've always been an advocate of including entourage in architectural renderings; in this case I think the problem is with these particular people - they don't seem to fit the scene of a practically empty ballroom. maybe a few wait staff setting tables. Smart!!!!

oh it's just a highres pic of a rug. I've got a huge library of pictures of rugs, because of my profession. here I've added a sofa. [image: SANE_classic-room013pp.jpg]

Well I'm seeing those alien/Egyptian guys in 'StarGate' - with the animated fan helmets.

Daniel, "does it have a mercedes, swimming pool, and room for a pony?" They are all up at Trimble Palace Jeff, I'm hopeful Trimble will look after SU, but if it goes per shaped SU8 has everything I need at the moment. thanks John

Simplicity. There is, of course, some duplication of structure and material inherent in a modular system like this but the flexibility warrants it, I think. Here we have just a few pieces, the only essential one being the 16x16x16" cube, a 'no-waste' dimension based on US plywood size of 48x96". Base and top are optional, attachment blocks are made into a visual contributor (?). Inside face countersinks not shown! [image: PA7H_cubeshelving-1.JPG]

Wow.... This is a really well thought through project, you should be proud. I love the post renders. Im also an architect student, from Manchester (uk) i was enquiring if i could use your project as an example in my dissertation about the "rise and downfall of corten steel" (its a bit boring haha) and im intrigued at the 3d details you have produced and wondered if you had any cad details (just jpegs) to support those brilliant renders? Its ok if not- great work anyway just thought id chance my arm and enquire. Karl Braidwood

nice and beautiful david, as always.

Thanks for this nice comment Brian, I think we just use some good tools, all the Developers and plugin Makers, they deserve respect...

Nice render and I'll bet it was very time efficient to complete.

I saw a twitch in this horse's left nostril. Besides, chambered nautilii really don't look like this. This one is with 'follow me and rotate': settings: rotate 0, scale 1.03; 24 segment face flat helix. follow me and rotate-settings-rotate 0 scale 1.03 24 segment face flat helix.JPG [image: MbWR_followmeandrotate-settings-rotate0scale1.0324segmentfaceflathelix.JPG]

Home sweet home... Very nice...

David, It's a treat and a great help to follow your thoughts on this. I like this last one best! The background forest in the former one was a little "threatening". With the foreground, this is very friendly but I wonder if the owners expected a sand driveway. It looks like one of the victims of the recession. Never leased or got the parking lot. Peter

@stefanq: thanks for the tip on nomers composition tutorial. I've learned a few things. I've noticed that there are a lot of tutorials for SU and other 3d modeling software that cover the basics like basic modeling, texturing light setup and rendering, but not a lot of good tutorials for more advanced things like compositing, material creation(accurate)and environment modeling.
