Tryed to improve this one. NormalM2.rar [image: q5Cn_Untitled.jpg]

Thanks for your feedback Paul, that's just the kind of feedback i was after. I am working on a model of a housing estate at the moment and will look into what you suggested and try to implement it Also thanks for the download Cheers Darren

The last image gave me an idea: You should try ArtRage. The free version does not have layers, but you could just paint over the SketchUp linework and then re-apply the linework again in Photoshop using the Multiply blend mode or something like that. The full version is $25. You might also want to have a look at PD particle, which has "grass" brushes, for adding little details.

Nice work Puck It will be better if u put light inside it.

Thanks fy Thanks mike. Thanks to all who viewed. Tesmeko

@david57 said: Ya, Ive got one. Abacus = Computer. Very true!

vieucaillou - Drawhelix13 is the version I used. Now I can't reproduce the dimensional inaccuracy I mentioned earlier. I started these models in SketchUp7 but I had a lot of trouble with that version so I uninstalled it and went back to SketchUp6. Maybe something was happening there. But I just opened Sketchup and asked drawhelix13 to make me a helix with a pitch of 180" and I get a helix at 180" Confusing to a novice.

idraft, Thanks so much for the links. Some really interesting translucent panel solutions are available. I think I'm inclined to lean toward some sort of fabric shading system and not give up the transparent glass. Below are a few night renders of the atrium house. They are a quite dark but they provide an impression of how the house might appear at night. [image: EYS3_newhousenr3.jpg] [image: iW2U_nhnr2.jpg] [image: IgzM_nhnr1.jpg]

My apologies mate, I said clickdraw, I meant Crazy eyes. You they worked great, thanks for that and the correction.

Thanks for comment guys! I'll try to put more detail next time. Adam,the chairs and the table are 3ds models, from here : http://www.archibase.net/ You have to register, and then you can browse for free models. As you can see, I have some missing geometry over the corners of the chairs. I shared the stove as well here: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=15048&st=0&sk=t&sd=a Ely, thanks for comment, your last cars are amazing, and I enjoyed the tutorial as well! Teo, thanks, always nice to see you around!

I had a previous version with no skirting but it looked to bare (ha). I might try lightening it as you suggested, though, as it doesnt look right at the moment.

yeah ill adjust em lata.....did i mention im working on a wabash dry van trailer too....gonna post pics of that soon too...hopefully ull like that..it needs air brakes and all the works...but has axles...yet but everything else is pretty much done ...its 1.58 MB

nah bro they smaller than the air cleaners, but i guess they are a little big..i've had about people tell me that...so i might make em smaller then..but it is a custom truck so i thought they would be appropriate for that purpose, but thanks glad u like it.

Richard, the trees have been the focus on a couple of posts lately, but in this case...well, here's my site: [image: swFp_easthavenarial.jpg]

really really nice.... as brodie said, fix up some textures and these would be great... the shingle textures are what's bugging me....the grass and roads kind of fit the image, in my eyes. vegetation is awesome! i really need to try onyx.....and the maxwell proxies...i think i tried it once and couldnt get it to work and never went back..haha... great job

can I say something? I can? Part of modeling I see very well, probably should have increased the number of sides in the circle because the roof is faceted (as said DzineTech) Add anything else on the scene to give it more life, this all that much empty space, maybe pictures or things like that. add some bump to the floor, because it seems like a single piece of wood, I might have to have some separation as boards or something. shadows are very hard, perhaps by increasing the radius of the sun are somewhat more diffuse and more real. but I want to stress that in general terms is a very good picture and I like the style of the space.

Very good visual here very good, not much wrong with this one buddy Just a quick question if you have time, how do you model your ridge tiles ?
