Thanks for your comments... I actually meant these images to be more on the sketchy side but the people cutouts really didn't help that as they bring a photo touch to it that competes with the sketch. Otherwise I like the mix between the sketchy feel and some GI/irradiance effects. sepo, the trees I think you are talking about are actually a component I got from the warehouse. It is the "arvore 3" by Gabriel Felin. I think this is one of the best trees out there for fill in trees at a small memory footprint. All I did is explode the leaves and make them cast shadows, podium follows the transparency for a nice detailed shadow (unlike SU). I love the way these trees render.

Nice House, looking forward to seeing the finished product

SU is very slow indeed but not meant to do professional modeling for photorealistic rendering. Using more appropriate modeling programs is the answer. With Sketchup you pay a high price for the ease of use and the amount of information you get while drawing. But we use Maxwell and import portions of our model from Sketchup into Maxwell Studio and so we never have to handle the whole model all the time in Sketchup. Devide your models when they become slow.

Sounds like a good Idea to me

Work like a arrow, see my new pics [image: avion3.jpg] [image: avion20.jpg] And don't forget to see, i was make this when I star using sketchup, that is about 1 year ago. [image: kamion2.jpg] And there's my logo who I was used in every truck or car I maded!

I Made This All on my own the house I made seperatly from everything else. I did the same thing with the chicken coop. Then I imported them into the farm. So then I moved all the stuff around abit to make it all fit just like my own farm. Then saved it all then painted it all so it looked pretty close to the real thing.

Second image is quite nice. You can feel all that heat and haze ...and of course she helps a lot. Good stuff Chris.

@olishea said: nice!! did you use color by z plugin to get the graduated colour? I just used some highly photoshop processed (lots of blurring) digital photos as projected textures.

Ah, well spotted Eric, attached now.

lol cheers fred, I see myself becoming a render gimp its too addictive!

Here you go PoleBarn1_V6.skp

I see thing very similar to that during visual migraines. Nice to see without knowing the pain will follow.

Check the Warehouse and PushPullBar. My own I'd rather not post as it isn't finished yet. no prob mate.....now that I know what's it called, i definitely search around for a model to render.

Yesterday I have seen new Star Trek, it is great and Your model is perfect, thank You !

Podium really is great little programe. Its amazing what you can produce in such little time.

wow nice renders The only thing that I feel needs changing is the catamaran. You wouldn't normally have a catamaran at sail that close to the shore/mooring/dock. If you pull the sails down it would give a little more realism. I'm probably being picky. Its just that the rest is perfect.

Honestly I think the render is not bad. Its got a good feel to it, the glow is working pretty well. I don't care for the design much. So its hard to vote above. I don't want to vote high, because I don't like it overall. But its not fair to vote too low (for me) because the render itself is actually pretty good. So I give the render a god mark, the model itself a low mark. Chris

That's lovely elevator music to go along with your elevator project. Chris (PS In Engish, the term "Elevator Music" means very generic, pleasant, calming music. Often has a negative connotation ).
