Roger Heres a few manufacturers of thin film Photo Voltaics. I've been keeping an eye on this technology, which can significantly reduce the cost per watt of PV. It's not quite mainstream yet, but I've seen it on a building at the B.C Institute of Technology and had a few emails with their facilities manager, who is quite happy with the system. Let me know how it goes.

This is really cool Thanks! (although I seem to have overkilled my machine by trying to stretch the component to the horizon)

Thanks, Richard. I was looking for something shy of 11 million results, but so far, not much. Perhaps it's time for me to try my hand.

there might actually be a better or more proper way to do this but here's how i do it. go to 'list' then new.. (and i guess you could skip this step if you want to add the texture to an existing list.. i put all of my created textures in my personal list) [image: JEO4_screen2.jpg] i've named my list 'scf example'... with the brush tool active, hold down command and the cursor will turn into an eyedropper.. sample the new texture with the eyedropper and it will show up like: [image: 1b9s_screen3.jpg] drag the texture from the sample window into the palette.. [image: eX1H_screen4.jpg] upon quitting SU, the .skm will be created and available for future sessions.

Nice models, they're gonna come in really handy! Nice drawings, too. too bad I can't read Korean...

thank you best roof textures ever!! Thank you again:D

And indeed it tiles really nicely! Thanks Eric!

Alan, you need to model a lawn mower.

Me too - is it possible to add or create new styles without skp pro?

the exe is 4 shared desktop program not the rar >.> lol its easy to see that o.o

Thanks again Alan, Gaieus this will come in handy.

Thank you all for your contributions. If I don't say it enough, I LOVE SketchUcation and the fast responses! Rick

Yes, Thanks Olishea. I just saw your work yesterday on the 6 backgrounds and i downloaded them. Scott thanks, i will try them out. I worked on one of them and made it seamless. This is my first. I had to cut stones and pasted them to make it seamless. [image: qQzL_Frontier_tumbled_split-face_51561.jpg]

Thanks for your thoughts, as it goes the client pretty much removed most of the light from the scheme so all that trawling the net was a waste. Good job I didn't go ahead and buy one!!!

There is a discussion with a couple examples in this tutorial thread: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=4721

ahha. Nice. They look as good as they do in the shop...and alot less expensive.

The Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis at UCL has modelled London for precisely that purpose. Google wanted to incorporate it in GE, but Ordnance Survey, he say "No!" Crown Copyright and all that. Don't you just love freedom of information in dear old Blighty? I believe CASA have small chunks of it on their blog site.

Nice idea, but I think the idea of requesting specific models doesn't play too well with sites offering free, unsolicited material. The reason why there are maybe 201 variants of a Murcielago on the 3DW is probably because they are all different mods of the same ripped-off commercial model by Dosch, or whatever....mostly done by teenagers who couldn't produce an original model to order if their life depended on it. There's obvious advantages in the model challenges, as Pete points out, but I find it hard to imagine a dedicated bunch of specialists churning out free model requests just for the kudos. A request means working to a brief; and most of us have enough of that at work...we prefer to fly our own kite in our free time. FormFonts will model to order...you can request a specific item of furniture, or species of tree, or person engaged in a particular activity. Up to a point you get it "free" as part of the subscription, but that's the point; it will cost you the price of a subscription. People here at SCF do occasionally oblige with a plea for a specific model, but I don't see it ever becoming more than an ad hoc thing...that would smack too much of the work treadmill.
