Fletch, indeed it's always good to meet new friends in your neighborhood!

Thanks for the reference to your tut. Very informative. I will definitely review this. 😄

Hi!i'm doing a work about this building and i need to know which is the material form the back of the closets.do anyone of you know what it is?
thanks
sorry for my english....

Yeah, becoming a material pedant comes with the territory when you do a lot of rendering 😒 . What looks ok in SU can stick out like a sore thumb in render progs.

yes reminds me of photographs by

Bernd and Hilla Becher

Google them and look at their images it's very similar cold and industrial feeling.

Your right, i did a edit to show the difference.
So i don't wanna hyack this thread, so let's discuse the bathroom.

Thanks, Frederik, it's been a "global announcement" in these forums for a while!
😄

But seriously speaking; thanks for all the work for you guys over the KT-Team!

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback.

The model was fun to make but the 2nd floor interior walls and windows got a little tedious toward the end. I do like how the stairs turned out. I wanted to use TINs for the walls but they don't work well for heavily curved walls with thickness. Instead I used follow-me to drive the curved profiles along curved paths and then did some tweaking with the rotate tool.

The model - which the warehouse wouldn't load - is available here at the bottom of the page. I do not plan to render it but would love to see it rendered if someone feels like giving it a shot.

Regarding how to build the walls. I've given that some thought. I think an approach that might work is to build them up layer by layer about 6" a pour using a flexible thick but bendable plastic mold. One of these days I'll put together a SketchUp model of the jig I have in mind.

Fred

Thank you very much

your opinion is highly appreciated

But what i did not make clear enough - this is a house that has been designed by a architect, that we purchased at a local real estate agency.

The only "info" they had were the blueprints .. and thats it ... so i just amused myself creating a 3D image

So roof - windows - ... its wasn't really our choice ..

Gutters - very good remark - they aren't marked on the blueprints we have, but im sure somebody will have them

There is a small technical glitch in marseillan-vitres.jpg. The bottom of the seawall is resting on the horizon line and that could not happen at the viewers altitude.

Having said that, these are a very nice set of renderings.

Re: the moon it would add more depth if the arch of the bridge bisected it forcing the moon into the visual distance.

Still an excellant series of images.

Yeah those two guys are far from detailed, but from far away, they look great.

🤣 I just read all of this (to my surprise) 😆
anyway, thank you for the complements! 😆

I see. Well, I've been "playing around" with boat hulls a little bit in SU and yes of course, the "best" way to model them is something similar they are made in reality; keel / ribs / planks (stitching...)

Anyway, it finally came together quite nice, congrats! 😄

Hi Again,

Here's an update of my Speaker render with a close look on the body labels and details....

Best,

good work. the only correction i would suggested relates to the convergence of the perspective lines.

Here is the photo of the building, where the offices are situated

Cheers

Paul, this is awesome! Thank you so much. I had considered exporting as .png (also a lossless format, but much smaller then .tiff) but after i saw 4500 panels, I thought "this can't be right"! Man, that is a stinkin lot of work! I should have charged dbl. I guess some lessons are expensive. Anyway..... I really like this idea. Especially the part about making changes. That is huge.

This project I'm working on as 360d views. So some how I have to work that in. I played with it a little in PS, ugh the thought of place those backgrounds in 4500 panels.....

I also like the organization tip. That will really help alot.

I'm looking forward to more of your nuggets of info!! I also want to say thank you to Kris, as he has been helping me in the background also! Thank you both sooo much!

MORE, MORE, MORE....

We love to see your tricky projects and cleaver uses of SketchUp! Please keep posting these work-flows and I'll continue to try and get them into the SketchUp Blogs and Newsletters! 😄

Cheers,

Alexander: yes, lots of PS, using a Wacom tablet. Colour and Black/white versions exported from SU, then lots of layering-up and hand 'painting' The trick is, as with traditional markers, to keep the pen moving. I always keep the whole image visible on the screen,and work on the image as a whole, without zooming in and getting obsessed with the details. The beauty is that, within reason, the faster and looser you work, the better it looks 😄

Wowzers. I keep looking over at my little inkjet printer and imagining such a project coming out of it.

I looked at it and had a wild idea. The corner blocks look like the teeth of a zipper. Next time you do one of these 😮 , maybe you could play that up with a zipper pull and teeth on the fold down. J

ha ha, yes that would be a great Idea with the zipper, but as I have written before, this "loose end" style is not my idea, a designer from our office thought of that;-)

I did the modeling and rendering and composing/post processing part.

I think it would take you 20 sets of toner to print this thing out, and then it would be all blown away with the first wind;-)

thanks for the comment
