My Doctor has told me I have C.D.O.......Well, he wrote O.C.D.on the notes but I rearranged the letters into alphabetical order........AS THEY SHOULD BE!!!

Reminds me of the time I flew from Australia to the UK to watch the aust v england cricket test match! I got off the plane with poor balance as my ear drums were inflamed and didn't know what was going on with my groin but could hardly walk. So went straight to the doctors.

After examining my groin he said we'll probably have to take your testicles - I got up walked out and slammed the door - "Mate your joking those test tickets cost me a fortune not even to mention that 20 hour flight"!

I normally just import as a texture when I need them.

they were scanned... just add contrast in ps or gimp or something 😉

Wow, that's great! I've been having some problems making one for my Pantheon model- http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=20271&p=170612#p170613 - so this is really useful to learn how to make one

It's a great model, for something as complex as the capital you've kept it nice and clean

used structurally as rafters, beams, and posts within the roof of a New Zealand "kiwi" made home.
Inspirational !!

In case you didnt know it has a very powerful smell to which some like and some cant handle it, if its not a well ventilated home, one may at first struggle with it, unless coated with a urethane or similar moisture cured paint or laqueer.

Hi!

Every time I need stainless or some other shiny material, I just use a big image of that material (a photograph for instance) (you can even stretch it quite a bit). Here's an example of stainless (works for glass surfaces too. Look's ok, even when moving in the model). Works pretty well for my projects even though it's not a tileable texture. Sometimes even renders quite nice (but most of the times not 😄

Thought I would make a couple as well. You can find them here [url](http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=bcd911bb86acafe2e7526b618f37b43f[/url] if you are interested.

seriously you guys are awesome, i really didnt expect all this help!

👍 👍 👍

what software are you using to color the model with? most great material renderings are done outside of SU!

you want your textures to tile, you just want the tiles to be seam-less and non-repeating (no obvious elements that make a distinct pattern), tileable textures are your friend, especially with stone, block, and wood textures.

How'd you do that?

How did you stop it from going crazy? Did you see what I was doing wrong in my model?

That's a great idea. Thanks!

Perhaps it wasn't a typo. 😉

I am interested in using that style. My email is kleenhaus@live.com
Thxs in advance!

you could make them they are just photoreal images trimmed and placed at 90 degrees to each other with the trunk being the ceter of the two images.

Nice textures 👍

You are pretty good at making these Bruce.
