    πŸ’­ %(#BF0000)[hey guys, i made a tut for you guys on cobbling....so cool you can use it anywhere and its actually really cool. Things you need is sketchy physics.
    Step one...set up your model, build the slop the cobbles is gonna lie on...
    once finished, group the site, make sure the blue is facing down, so the right face is facing upwards. then go and build your high poly cobbles. once finished make them a symbol and copy as many as you need.
    position it above your site.
    select all your cobbles and right click on them as a group and look for sketchy physics and look for shape, choose box for a shape.
    Next step is to select the floor (slope) and choose its shape as static mesh.)

    http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x165/hondsekont/setup.jpg

    Then move it just above the slope, not so far as indicated on the image.
    Ready:....steady ...press play...
    wait 5 seconds or less and see how these stone pave themself. after its settled...press cntrl a, to select all and copy.. open a new drawing, paste it and its settled in that state. pretty cool hey lol. i have attached a file so you guys can see what i try to explain. just press play once youve opened the model (skeychy physics needed)
    ....comments are welcome...] πŸ’­

      Excellent, thank you - that is so clever. Especially grabbing the SketchPhysics model before it resets πŸ˜„

      PS I pulled up the surface with vector push-pull to create a mortar bed and ran a quick render.

                  Hello Silver, do you have a tut on how to make the roof tiles? Your cobble tut is amazing. Thanks for sharing them.

                    This is brilliant. What I love about this model is the degree of imperfection. Walls are never flat, footpaths are never flat, fence posts are never plumb, fence rails never line up perfectly, roof tiles are never inline, cable installations are always sloppy, and this model captures every bit of that.

                    Very good eye!

                    Todd

                          this model is way more difficult and could be more fun than any model i have textured before.. so i will keep you guys posted when i have something more to put on the table on this thing again. β˜€]

                                        Today i want to share the power of sketchup itself, to encourage those who thinks sketchup is just a tool that can only build block models and nothing more.

                                        thankyou.
                                        i think you have the synthetic path for some new tools for the version 7
                                        so I wont buy it if those mixes of rubies are not fusionated in smart tools that lead to your results.Β‘
