Thanks Cheffy, this brings back memories. I had one exactly like this on my board at home during graduate school. I spent many hours looking at i waiting for inspiration. 😆

Thank you, Gidon 😄

That is really neat! Nice job guys 😄

Thanks for the nice model, Takuji

And merry Christmas for you too 😄

Markus

Hi all
Thanks by the comments, will be important for future works.
cheers

Exceptional work, John. Truely exceptional.
This proves what I tell so many people: when you work with SU you're actually working on your hobby. I know of very few other programs that are as powerful and veratile and fun and just plain addictive.
Again, beautiful work, John.

Thanks! That was a great day and a sequence of great pics in that one moment. Memories for a lifetime 😄

before I think 6.0 there was no fonts or words modeled in SU... it was a smustard ruby I think... I bought a few of his fonts before the new release...

I think that's what it is... a left over...

these look dangrous... ouch, bare skin on hot metal...

You must be in good athletic shape. I fear that I would keel over and drop dead before I reached the 50 yard line. Therefore, I will leave that chore to my beloved Philadelphia Eagles.

E-A-G-L-E-S GO EAGLES!!
(Sorry, I had to sneak that one in there. I'm getting primed for the new season.)

Thanks for the compliments.

I rendered it in Kerkythea, but it doesn't look very real to me. I need to learn more about lighting.

These are some great models

Hi Eric. In answer to your question:

@unknownuser said:

In the center of the medallion, is that an image or did you model the flower 😮 ❓
I can only appologise for not having posted the medallion model. It was late, I was tired, you know, the usual excuses for being scatter-brained 😳

So anyway, here's the medallion skippy.
Plaster Medallion.skp
It's actually quite crude and I'm sure most of the guys could do something much more ellaborate but it does give a nice 3D effect. I took a photo of a plaster cieling medallion and slapped it on a disc. Then I traced around some of the parts, p/p'ed them a bit, projected the texture and basicaly that's it. The center 'flower' was a bit more work. I didn't want to just p/p because then I wouldn't get that 'leaf' effect, so I scaled down the flowers base and did a follow me of a gentle curve for the top skin. Then I re-projected the texture and moved the flower back onto the center of the disc.
Like I said, it's all pretty crude stuff. I think I probably would have gotten better results with soap-skin that with follw-me. So here's the skippy. I hope you find it useful. I'm planning to make a whole bunch of them and experimenting with different techniques. I'll post as I go along.

That is one of those "Duah" moments because when I read what you wrote above I went "Duah". Wish I had thought of that.

Thanks Mike.

Thank you kindly........

I must not have been using the correct search terms. I'm usually very good at finding out info.

Thanks again.

I like reading your stuff. It helps me more and more to learn SketchUp. If I can learn as much about SU as I know about AutoCAD, I'll be doing pretty well.

Also, there's nothing bad about being long-winded. I like when people go into detail. It's most helpful for the learning process.

You are da man!
