There are a lot of costs associated with a project like this. If I self publish the printing will set me back ~10 grand. Shipping books, promotional costs, shows, and PR all cost something. That's not including my time to make the book. I do well in my career, so I'll cover those costs. I'm perfectly willing to pay for all it because that will give me the most flexibility and control. When it's close to done, I'm going to pitch it to some comic publishers. If I can get a good deal, and still retain the overall rights I'll do that. The benefit of that, of course, would be that they would absorb the cost of printing, but more importantly they would have major distribution. I don't have that ability myself. The more shops stock the book the more potential for sales of course. There's a saying in Hollywood that I love, "Never spend your own money."

...gotta add me another WOWzer to this thread! Great work.

Thanks D, I read somewhere on the Vray forum about gamma correction to counteract desaturation- I followed their advice, but it didn't seem to help. I'll have to have another go with your suggestions as it obviously affects all my VRay renders, although some more than others.

Hey, Eric you are looking a bit pale today, everything okay? Mike PS: This probably won't make sense when you change your Avatar

Finally: another PSP user...(see, I told you guys :~]) kuddos, thoscon!

Nice shots, really!

Coen, Many sincere apologies. Sorry about the image size man. I didn't read your previous message regarding file size - i'll be more careful in the future. Please remove my original image if its size is burdonsome. As far as posting the ruby script....honestly i'm a architect naive in the ways of mischeavous scripts. Fortunately the people who download the script I posted have reported no anomolies in the script because I posted it in the exact way I recieved it. I'll try and post the link to the script itself next time. Again sorry about overstepping boundaries on this forum....no offense intended.

Thank you all. Not much change but here's the most recent version. the center door has been moved to the front. All that's left to do is the drawer boxes and the drawer guides. The guy for whom I'm drawing this wants to see it with overlay drawers although I would like him to build it with the inset drawers as I've drawn it. Once those things are done it'll be time to make up the working drawings for him. Hopefully I'll be able to post some images of the real thing one of these days. [image: th_Barts_Cabinet1.jpg]

It was most difficult coffeebag. the air mattress he was light

very nice Kris, what i like is how you always introduce some organic elements. i think you could allow this stair to be more organic though, since the open space around the stair is free flowing.

yea! why were these in hiding???

kris i agree with boo great work

Thanks Craig. I have the same story as everyone else..."SketchUp has really done wonders for my career" If only I could corner the market... Eric, you actually downloaded the animation? HA...wasn't sure if anyone would bite. Yea, its pretty cool and was part of a powerpoint presentation I put together. The final is going to show the final site map and then zoom in to each product location model complex and rotate. However, I was playing around with Google Earth and found out I could import my site map into there and get the same effect, but with a much greater radius obviously. I am going to see about placing my site map and then putting models in. I just don't know how well GE can handle that many models. It's all in testing for now though..hehe. As for the colors, I was told those are "standard". Even though I'm not in land planning, I do a lot of his graphics and see the same colors over and over again. I looked at your image and tonewise, yea, pretty scary how close they are...haha. Gosh, I miss this place. Well, I really should get back to work.

Wow, that's a really cool collection, Alan! The clients must be really satisfied with the products!
