Silvershadow's eye candy 1: The river runs thru it

plot-paris

...a lot of baking and textures are overlayed ect to create one single texture. Once im happy, i took them into sketchup, scaled it till the face match exactly, and then projected it onto it.
( and i think i will texture all my future models like this )

but only until Whaat finds an amazingly easy way to use his texture mapping with multiple UVs, with a workflow as easy as SketchUps push/pull tool

(of course you have to go back to indigo then (with a bit more than 80 hours of rendertime) - or wait for v-ray to copy indigo )

ps: let me say again, how impressed I am with your model, and especially your render! it is truely amazing and makes me proud of SketchUp (even if I could never have done this...)

pps: the only thing that wasn't entirely convincing to me in your render was the water. but you can change that in 25 minutes...

yea i kinda thought hey this is stupid till the day i came to do it. Everyone is doing uv mapping these days and since sketchup does not have it...is this the best way to create your own uv mapping. Just takes a bit of time, but sure is worth it 100%.

Now that this has come to an end, im kinda looking at more challenging things to build with su, but im still searching for something nice.

What is the name of the bezier round edge plug in or is that the name?

Why would you use sketchy physics for the square cobbles. The could be done in basic sketchup like 1,2,3.

This is wehre the plugin is

The cobbles thing, well theres is prob a 100 ways to do this, i just thought this is an interresting way to show how to quickly put the cobbles onto a surface and not having them perfect.
I placed mine manually, one by one, but surely there are other ways to do it, i just wanted to share this way with you guys too

Hey Jacques, brilliant work - truly inspirational.
Hey, also glad to see a Capetonian doing some work for a change!

silver_shadow

hee hee yea its a real rare thing. This side of the word everyone thinks skp can only do blocks and is not a gr8 program to use for nicely rendered models.. i dont think so...

JGA

Fantastic!
Thanks for sharinf some of the trade secrets

justry

Like...WOW!!

No, seriously, WOW man, I can't believe that's sketchup! And the render, aw man!!

You know I originally came to the gallery to post an image of a vase I just made, but now that I've seen this, I just can't stop laughing whenever I look at my vase!!

Hey silver,
You should print that render on a big banner, travel to Boulder and parade in front of Googles office while shouting: "Look what I can do with sketchup, we want development NOW"

Richard

My god man you have leveraged every app used in the creation of this scene well beyond I'm sure what even the developers would have thought possible!

This truly has to be one of the most amazing scene's ever undertaken with SU!!!

I'm freakin amazed to no end!!!!

silver_shadow

i feel the world trembling at my feet hee hee. Thanx a lot guys
