have you looked at the 3Dwarehouse? There should be a few examples in sketchup format that you could open with no problem, if you had a more specific topic or could elaborate on your needs there are lots of great people on the forum that will help out.

very good model keep it up i agree with other comments about back round

oh yeah, that was another thing i tried to do... made an mxi with darkened edges on that sign..and a few stripes, which i think i should have done opposite of what i did, but whatever. thanks for your help...really up'd the quality of the image.

Mate I agree with Toms first crop of the image, the extent of foreground is distracting. The post worked image really adds a lot in my opinion! Though I think you have dirted up the front of the building on the left a little too much. For me the carpark pavement in the post image looks great now, though as mentioned the lines may have been a little less white. For me the real biggy is the lack of any light from the windows which would be present in a late afternoon shot. The dark line to the image as Tom mentions created by the shadow cast from the line of trees I feel could be broken by not maintaining such a harsh line to the layout of the trees. Now all in all considering the size of this project and the extent of the parking / mapping there this is superbe work mate, you should be really proud!!

Great work Tom. These are some of the best images so far.

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
