Yea! Roofing Contrctors hate to see me coming along but at the
end of the day they often feel they have achieved something and
are often quite proud of it 😄

Thanks for the links James, I will check them out.

daniel- thanks! the elevations use two techniques in photoshop, one is similar to the dennis watercolor trick, and the other is a variation of the photoshop watercolor tricks in the thread started by majid

great texture, i like the minimalist linework and the restricted color range!

thanks. i would make one but sadly i don't have a 3d printer - too expensive 😄

From another angle, flesh added.

I have to agree with Mike's comment about the surrounding trees. They are too bright a colour and contrasty and steel from the focus of the building.

Yes, I agree... I should have made those darker. Thanks for reminding me of that, both of you 😄

I also agree about tree in front of the doorway. It does obscure. Being semi-transparent really doesn't change that and I have a personal problem with semi-transparent trees anyway. I know it is done in architecture, but I really don't think it is necessary and frankly, its a weird convention. If the tree is really going to obscure something important, use a skimpier tree. Otherwise, if it is just more brick, we get the idea and there is no reason to go transparent.

In this one the tree actually obscures the doorway and 90 percent of the time the focuse of these renderings should be the doorway. Inviting one in so to speak. Therefore the greatest area of contrast should always be arranged to be at the door. This door is a little too dark and obscured. In fact the window to the left is more contrasty.

I totally agree, in this case it was specified by the client that these trees were there and the he would not agree to a change in angle, so..... darn clients 😉

But that was just pushing an academic critique. The overall execution is masterful, the moode delightful the technque wonderful.

Thank you Susan, you know how much I appreciate your input. It is always so valuable!

And thank you to everyone else as well!!

What do you mean in between projects 😮 Your so fast they can't keep up with.
These are excellent works. Congratulations! Personally I think you have outgrown this board. Your are an inspiration to all here so don't leave 😄

A few updated images.

Other sorts of clients might not be taking themselves too seriously, so better luck with others. But of course if a client got used to your jokes he might in subsequent projects just start looking for your easter eggs, and forgetting about the architecture. I have forgotten the name, but there was a famous British architectural modelmaker (used by architects like Rogers, Foster, grimshaw etc.)who used to add things like this to his fabulous presentation models.

Gotcha. This again shows the power and simplicity of SU. 👍

Hahaha! Sorry, I really can't wait for the movie to come out. The anticipation is killing me!

Here more Sketchup images from this project....

Nicely presented Eeva. What test are you using there?
...
typo, meant text 😄

German... 😆
I could not resist.

Nice. A picture is surely worth a thousand words.

Ah, so it is not an existing house... whew, that would have been an expensive renovation 😆

Again, nice rendering. 👍

Thank you for all the great input.

they were all done in Sketchup and compiled into one file with PDF Converter Pro. The 2d stuff is actually to scale when printed on tabloid size 11"x16"? paper. Now if I could just rememeber how I did that?
