    very cool image.

    You broke my fountain!!

    Would be cool to see a SP explosion, where the fountain busts into hundred of flying bits.

            Nice Rich! Thanks for sharing the fountain spray you found. Ivy looks nice on the wall...I would add a concrete texture to the fountain itself with a little dirt on it.

            Thanks - Looking for a nice concrete/similar texture at the moment. It was a nice marble texture but didn't show up. 😳

            Richard, that's some of the best non post production grass I've seen in this forum. πŸ‘
            Is it a component composed of several clipmaps spread around with component spray? Or a full 3D component? Is that ivy from the ivy generator? I know, too many questions... πŸ’š Hey, that grass and ivy would make a nice tutorial. πŸ˜›

            Thanks again for the comments, but 😒 sorry to disappoint as its part of the rendering software, that you apply as a property to sketchup materials, a bit similar to the free tree program from Al(but when rendered comes out 3d), Its a ground cover version that I have adapted for ivy. Maybe Al would consider a ground cover/ivy version for sketchup. ❓

              Quick scene with HDRI background lighting and image. Evermotion Audi and light posts added for flair.

                looks really realistic, what renderer is that?

                  We have that in the plans. (To create a custom, tileable material).

                  However, when I tried to put ground cover under my fountain it took so long to render that I gave up. (Ground cover works by generating thousands of leaves and flowers at render time - so it doesn't work well yet for large areas)

                  But it is very impressive if you were able to get it to work or Ivy.

                    The mystery behind the sparkle disappearing is nothing compared to the strange reflection appearing on the water surface...

                        Another slightly more dramatic try. Also a couple from a previous render.

                        All vray for Max. A good bit of PP on the first one using photoshop and Toy camera. 2nd set is Raw output using HDRI + Vray sun.

                            Some one asked me why I post models made in blender here. But these have modeled just for this purpose. If I want to render them in blender (I did) then can use a higher level of faces-details.
                            So this fountain is not modeled in SU (see topology on att.), so importing it to MAX and render with vray, has really nothing to do with SU. Its an interesting work flow though. Always the capability to export SU models to other apps. If this is possible (for a complicated model).
                            So earthmother, these are great renders, but why do you need to import a model in SU and export it in MAX?

                              I did not create the fountain. I downloaded the posted .skp and used the component stringer plugin that Chris just made to model the fountain spray. The idea behind the thread is to use your favorite render app to render the posted model. For me this is Vray and I happen to have it for 3ds Max. I bought Max before I even knew sketchup existed. Now that I model in SU almost exclusively, I typically just use max for rendering and scene staging, utilizing it's high poly support to render my SU models. No different than someone exporting out of sketchup into Vue or Maxwell studio. So to answer your question, my workflow is not Max to SU to Max, as this would be quite silly. 90% of what I model starts in SU....I'm not sure what program the fountain was modeled in.

                                Hey Adam,

                                Are you using Modo much these days? Just curious cause I'm still thinking about getting a second modeler. Great renders as always by the way.

                                Thanks,

                                Jeff

                                Have I mentioned how much of a laugh I get out of some of the Signatures on here!

                                    I think the fountain is made in SU, with the usual tools and SDS (check the dome) Is that right solo?
