Silvershadow's eye candy 1: The river runs thru it
-
to get a smoother shape, you have to increase the number of segments for the arcs, defining the outline, as well as the circle you used for the follow me process (you did use follow me, right?)
if you select the circle, or the arc tool you can see a number in the VCB at the bottom right of your screen. for a circle the default is 24 edges, for an arc its 12.
simply type in a new number of segments, before drawing the arc/circle.when you drew the shapes you can even select these shapes (one by one) and change the number of segments in the entity info window lateron (this only works, if it still is a flat shape. it doesn't work with extruded shapes anymore)
for the eyes... I think the best way is to draw them onto the body of your model, so that you can apply a different texture to them.
if you don't want to use any plugins (like the marvellous OnSurfaceTools) I would suggest, model a vertical shape of the eye, extrude it right into the head of eva. then you group this extruded eye-shape. now you select the the part of eva, where the face is, right-click and choose "intersect with model", which cuts the outline of the eye-shape into eva's face.
now you can mirror the eye-shape (by scaling it horizontally to -1) and repeat the process for the other eye.if you don't want to see the edges around the eyes, you can select them and (right-click) "hide" them, after you coloured the faces.

Hi thanks for your advices plot!
I will try to changue the segments of the line, and extrude later, and see the better results:D
And i will try to get that "Onsurfacetool" because i was trying to do thw way you tellme for the eyes, but i cant make it...
Thanks again for your patience and efforts to explainme.
I will post my results later, one i get a good model i will render it:D

Thanks for the post. It was really inspiring!

THANX GUYS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS ECT
-
updated the list in the start, have put a render in the list, for those who havent seen the render, or dont want to go that far down paging thru the pages to find the render.
-
Hey Silver....your extremely talented. Do you use SU in your daily work?

hi there, thanx for the comment, i only use sketchup. My profession is to build models for an architectural firm all day
quite nice
been using sketchup for 3 years. My primary render engine i use is mainly Vray for sketchup, been using that for a year an a half -
hye !!
I'm a young french user and I don't understand all wich write on this page but I'm really really impressed !
this render is amazing, very very good !
When I'll be able to do 1/4 of that I'll be happy !!
very nice !Camille

great job!!!!
by the way, im still confused how to make the background...like the mountain... how did u make it?.
hehethanks... and job well done!
-
like the old fashioned way. Create a alpha of your render, or just cut out the background via photoshop.
so you will have a model which has no background. Then just put a mountain image in behind the model. -
OMG!!!!! this is AWESOME!!
btw what software? -
hit there
All the candy series was an experiment to see how far i can push sketchup untill it folds
So to be true to the program, i had to use only sketchup for modelling. The first candy was not really intended to be rendered, but eventually got rendered in vray and a little bit of photoshop. The candy 2 model went the same path, all 100% sketchup, no elements were build in another program and then brought back, because then it would have defeated the purpose. Renderd in maxwell, vray, and fryrender.
2008 i will start my last candy, trying to push sketchup for one last time, building everything in sketchup again. I hope it will be bigger and better and at least ten times more intense than candy 2. But we all have to wait and see

Silver, I am really amazed with your work. The final product looks fantastic, and I like the atmosphere in the scene.I see that you utilized a lot of rubies:-) I haven't heard for half of them but, I see they are very useful.
Keep up the inspiring work, I haven't seen work of such quality for a long time here.
Cheers,
Andrija

Hi Coen
hee hee i think we all just have to wait and see whats its gonna be. sorry guys
The thing about last time, it will definately not be my last model, its just doing these candy models is actually a real hard process, saving each day as a seperate file as you progress and try to document youre every move, where the normal way is just, build the model, and post it. But again, ive learned this is ACTUALLY the proper way to demonstrate youre model, so yea, i would not say it will be part of candy, but probably more similar stuff. -

I cannot seem to locate it but I once remember talk about a 'Greeble' script, my thinking was that this too could be a solution.
However Silver you certainly used SP in a very creative way.It's not well documemented, but protrude can offset, protrude, and taper faces. Leave the second column blank unless you want a random number btween the range.

This model was produced using these inputs:
