Any time, mate. Here is the link: http://www.google.hr/imgres?imgurl=http://openfootage.net/Openfootage/Vorschau/ContactSheetpaving.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.openfootage.net/%3Fp%3D65&h=800&w=800&sz=115&tbnid=ykaikAYi4FqPrM:&tbnh=143&tbnw=143&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpavement%2Btextures&hl=hr&usg=_5cN2P87RQ20pdQ-95py2QDJWqaY=&ei=jQkkS7uwMcqN The original file size is much larger. Cheers!

Thanks you. That is the first DC that I have found was of any use to me. Made me want to dig in and see what I can do. So thanks for the DC and the urge to investigate making DC. Ken

The way the Components dialog box works is that it actually looks inside a folder to see if any files there it can display. To get a better picture, here is what you have to do in a Windows computer: Computer>Hard drive(or where SU was installed)>Google> Google sketch up [your version]>Components Thats where SU stores its components, if you want an extra pack look at the guy above or wait until Google makes a v7. Personally I just put any models that I like into this folder. Some of you might not know is that now the dialog box actually links to the 3-D warehouse, so whatever you search in that search box there will come up the same in the warehouse dialog box. Simply its just a faster way to surf the warehouse without taking up so much space when you don't want it to. Yea its messed I know.

thanks Alan, looks lovely.

That looks pretty nice. Good work.

@solo said: Thanks for the replies guys, lots to think about. Here are a few of the winter trees mixed with some snow conifers. [image: santaflight.jpg] or with DOF. [image: santaflightdof.jpg] SANTA rolf

simple cup, I'll think I'll enjoy one too! And I am still amazed by the realistic renderings!

Yeah, even if you do not purchase and use it for PR renderings, the eval version (and its 800x600 pixel output) should be enough to experiment with your "products" - as for how they behave there. They should more or less render the same way in Kerkythea then. AND I presume, the soon coming Thea Render would behave somewhat similar - although its material handling is said to be different, still Tomasz is the one who writes the exporter (as of Kerkythea's original su2kt) therefore there shouldn't be any issues with it. I really wonder why V-ray hasn't been made to recognise alpha transparency yet. One of the most powerful rendering applications - and not only for SU but for several, other modelling soft as well. BTW nice trees/shrubs again (what are junipers - trees or bushes?)

wow , thanks all of you I'm so busy last month and now I can go to read this thread again , thanks all of you Cheers,

@decipher said: Why not just take a photo square with the wall and turn it into a texture? I thought that too but for that stone texture you need a large pattern to make it look good

Thanks, Pink panther. I like it. I think it's appears nice and "ligth". I'm going to get it! Thanks and greetings.

Thank you Nacholo, this ivy will come in handy and I agree it is very light. As long as it isn't in a really close up view it will be perfect.

OK, I managed NOT to crash SU a couple of times now but still get weird results. Here, on one side of the column, the texture is messed up (like as if it was rotated vertically or something) [image: NUIX_StoneColumn1.jpg]Stone Column1.skp Then I cut the whole thing into half and morrored but of course, this doesn't lead to anywhere because that symmetry line if too ugly.

Nice!!! Nice!!!! Thanks 4 the info!!

thanks, velvia. would you have, by any chance, good concrete textures in which the formwork shows?

I'd love to see it when it's done

Wow - you guys are awesome on here! Thank you so much for your help. That is indeed the particular tree I was looking for. Cheers, Jason
