        Wow, that's an honor for sure! Maybe SU7 will have soft shadows, a.k.a silver shadows.

        I'd imagine it's tough for the development team, when they see all the evolution that has occurred by the users and the ruby coders. I'd imagine it's a lot of pressure to make sketchup even better than what Whaat, Fredo and the other guys have done. I personally wouldn't mind if sketchup stayed the same from a toolset/ruby standpoint.....just give us multi core capibility, high poly handling and better shadows.

          Wow...just wow. Words cannot describe, but here are some: insane, incredible, masochistic. The walkthrough was great as well, and those rotors...too much to praise to write down!

              Silver: Happy birthday man!

              By the way, please forward the Google Sketchup team your wishes for SU7.
              I know you are 'this' close to using other software because of shortcomings in SU.
              I am sure they'll listen to a power user like you...

                  Both on your birthday as well as on the words the Google SU Team have written to you... ๐Ÿ˜„
                  I've been working with SU for almost 3 years, and I don't recall having seen a similar acknowledgement and recognition from the SU Team... ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
                  But like so many already have stated, your work surely is amazing and deserves the right treatment..!! ๐Ÿ˜‰ <-- (Genuine wink)

                    wow after that message from the sketchup group, i wanna be that guy who stands forward in a crowd and starts a slow clap which ends with everyone applauding and cheering (the more sensitive of the group: crying), but it seems everyone has been clapping since u first posted these images, and rightly so, well EFFING done!!!!

                        Happy Birthday Silver!

                        The difference of these two eye candy efforts has occurred to me. I think the dock scene was all from one source, right? You were modeling based on a 2d image, designing 3d that will recreate the image, or your version of it. Amazing! The design machinations are beyond me to describe.

                        In the Blackhawk, you are faithfully and accurately detailing an actual object based on different references, but still hard to understand how you can fill in the 3d information. Showing a strong grasp of reality beyond the sheer modeling prowess. Then there's the renderings.

                        Sorry, it's hard not to sound obsequious on this. Thanks for the offerings.

                          Absolutely amazing work and thanks for the list of useful addons and pics of the process. Really helps out noobs like me. As for other programs, blender comes in at the right price for learning with and is very powerful but I have learned faster and actually made something useful in sketchup in no time. The learning curve for all of the other software I have tried is really steep.

                                beautyful - the x-ray shows the level of detail quite well. you don't need any textures, because the density of polygons is so high ๐Ÿ˜„

                                how long did the export take?

                                        Hey Jaques, I did a fast xray render, using modified .mats.

                                        It really exposes all the hard work and fine details.
