Superb work Ritch, I cannot fault it

@tuna1957 That is a common theme for most of us I believe. I go a bit cold when a model frustrates or I just lose motivation. Later I go on and try again.

Sorry, wanting to see how closely, or not, the photoreal mat setting in Sketchup can approximate to a render. Not too badly for folk who do not want the added complexity of a render program. Approximating a studio might prove useful. Curiosity alone.

The spooks are gone... ? What the Freaky Friday etc. Better call Scummy and Mouldy.

@Gus-R Thanks for the explanation, looks great.

I do not have a smart phone, it matches me for stoopid and I use it as a phone only. I am sure there are folk here with a Whyphone who can describe the process. I found this with a brief search. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iph864a938de/ios

@L-i-am i built it. It's about 15 components just arrayed around

Fair enuff, please remind me how, I am xtra thick this week.

This is something like the end result I am looking for. [image: 1756254625797-10-1000s-2067-x-1192-5618917-tri-25s-gpu-resized.png]

Thanks mate.

I saw this my immediate thought tha having a two car garage in this day and age would be a practical but quickly realised that having a double garage door on the frontage would not work with the proportions of a Craftsman home. Very nicely done mate you nailed this

Got it Rich, the system not reacting to inputs was a bit of a drain but I got there. I cannot match the sketchup viewport in Rayscaper now but then since reset of windoze, everything has been more than a little off. I cannot say the entertainment level is low tho'.

IMPRESSIVE!!!!

Thanks guys. Matisse would work but I was thinking Bierstadt.

Hey Gus, nice indeed mate. I wonder what it would look like with https://fotosketcher.com/

@pixelcruncher I DMed you, dear Thomas.

Thanks Mike and Rich. I did this version pretty quick. I have a lot of spare parts. I'm settled on a weathered look and tall grass for most everything. Was tinkering with it some more and finding small things to fix or change. [image: 1745464475333-gus-robatto-conrail-sd45-resized.jpg]

Still some extraneous place holders here, movement though. [image: 1745441762893-4-1000s-2174-x-1983-32s-gpu-resized.png]

Rebooted Sketchup, lost items returned..... [image: 1743877829782-9-1000s-3085-x-1234-4m-24s-gpu-resized.png]
