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

I know but I want direct recalc in the window I have open, I know both units and understand them no problem however it's just annoying 😛

!

Reminds me of some i've made

Well... Why not go to the KT website and find out for yourself?

thanks guys..much appreciated... i will definitely hope to render these down the road when i'm bored and looking for something to do.. it always helps when you already have a model done 😉 but for the time being, this is it.. client really just needs the model.. just producing these images as examples for you guys and for updates for the client..

jonathan,

the forum has been acting weirdly lately and the post notifications are taking forever to reach me. i apologise for not commenting before.

i like the concept very much. the boxes are like small buildings and the space around them like urban space where a lot of activities can happen. it could make for a very enjoyable living space.

i wonder if there is a client for this project. in the place where i live it would be very, very difficult to get away with it. people would say they like it but would prefer the traditional way.

let us know how it progresses.

Edson,

Thanks for the comments. I, too, wonder whether there is a client for this, though there are some interesting residential projects going on here (Minneapolis, MN)

Nice pics
any tutorial for this style?

I cannot recall which name, but it's based on either a Grant or Marshall technique. It involves taking a simple white image from SketchUp and a colored in, material and shadows image. Take the two of them and put them in Photoshop on two different layers (with the white being on top). Erase a bit of the white and you get that blended look.

Thanks for the compliments! Yes, K is a very nice rendering program and its free!
I have no idea why more are not using it. The second image, I agree is the better of the two. However turning the exposure up to 1.5 washed out the sky which I would say is better in the first image. How can I reconcile this?

@Allanx you are correct, I could have made a smoother curve on for the window frame. I didn't notice until I finished the render. Smoothing the curve would definitely improve the quality of the render.

@Fredrick, Yes it's one of Fletch's global skies inserted in K.

Thanks again!

this is amazing work;-)))
👍 👍 👍
