Silvershadows eye candy 2 : BLACK HAWK
-
i know its not as easy and is more of a trial and error and sometimes comes to manually fill spaces to get the look right. Body work of anything do take probably the longest in models like these. Don't give up, you'll get it right
-
stunning work !! thought i understood SU limits but obviously not. so i have a similar question to above, wouldn't this have been easier to do in Rhino? i am just about to start learning rhino for this reason but maybe i just need to have a good look at SU7.
-
i think any program has its ups and downs in modelling different parts where its maybe easy in one application and hard in the other one. Haven't played with Rhino yet. Mixing platforms is sometimes the best to get good results, the more you know and are able to do..the better. Sketchup is pretty cool still and still try to push it harder and harder. The more practice, the better you get. I think this works for anything in life..if you stop practicing, you rust up and forget. Best solution, find something you like, and stick to that as you main modelling engine.

Phenomenal. Truly phenomenal. Everything about it is impressive but my god man, the level of detail on rotors is what really really impressed me. i just read through the whole thread and there is nothing more to add, everything has been said, except i do have a question: where is Eye Candy 3? And which was Eye Candy 1???
-
Without letting the proverbial cat out the bag...Eye candy 3 will happen soon, and brace yourself for it, as it's a whopper. I was able to get a sneak peak during the early phases and that already hurt my jaw as it hit the ground.
Oh! Jacques...no pressure.
-
Hmm ... Totally looking forward to it. Bring it on!

Silver Shadow:
You know, I thought your village on the water was face melting.
The fact that you took the effort to document the many steps in the development of the blackhawk is devastating, or humbling--or epiphanic--if that's a word.
Any further comment would be gibberish.

I've always thought SU as a good tool to draw houses, fornitures, trading centres, etc. I mean apart from the personal abilities, I think you'are really talented...I thought SU didn't allow certain kind of projects, like a professional Cad does...but I was absolutely wrong. If I've thought that about SU is not because I'm a professional designer hard to please, with preconceived ideas, but just because I've never seen such a good project of this type made with SU.
What you did is amazing

another superb work from u....
realy need a patience... -
Complimenti Jacques, sei un mostro di bravura!

thanks guys

Wow silver_shadow, I must say that this made me think differently about sketchup now. This is quite amazing. I'm an architect and I'm also using sketchup but just for quick massing studies and then finalize the whole modeling and rendering in 3ds Max. I never knew that sketchup can also do these kind of things. I wonder what the specs of the computer you are using, you may be using a really powerful computer because this model looks heavy on computer resources especially doing it in sketchup. I hope I can be as skillful in sketchup as you are. Thanks for the post, it's really amazing.

hi there.
thanks, to be honest, i modelled these things in a dual core 3.4 ghz machine with 2 gig ram. No fancy equipment. Just lots of patience. Be sure to look into the other candy models if you havent seen them yet. I now got a powerful i7 machine, and hope to do some great things with this in the future.
