Ludic Living Room Project

teuf

Thanks for all of you
It's a pleasure.

:shock: awesome!
just a criticism.. you need a flat TV

Lol ...but I love my old great tube TV.

I like it , very lovely home, mate

Thanks, Majid.
My whife and me dreamed about this kind of room long years ago.
We need a "warm" room to spend time between house plants, our pets and our respectiv hobbies.

Very nice modeling. Some crits would be:
There is alot of plants in the scene and it actually draws the eye away from the space itself.
Some better quality textures could do wonders to the scene.
What looks like an animal cage (between the closet door and the angled wall) is out of place in the scene).
There is too many computers/equipment. This give the feel of a working space over a living space.
I do like the mixed media look. That looks nice.
Scott

He he ! Thanks for the interesting feed-backs
We love plants, I would like living in a wood with just a little roof on our heads
I would like these plants "erase" the walls of this room...in fact, there will be much more plants
It's the same thing for the pet (cage and "cat tree")... I assume it be not the tast of everyone but it's quite funny and comfortable to see my rat and my cats everywhere I stay in the principal room of my house.
Yes you're right there it too many computer...
The desk top one would be stay inside the desk or the cupboard, the tablet PC (wich is used to record MIDI sequences) would stay on the keyboards, but the old one (I use sometimes)...I don't know. I tried to put it in a box beside the settee but it's not a good idea.
Even if I like technology, I would wish this room look "natural" ...

Beautiful work, but when I first looked at it I was somewhat confused - looks like you mirror copied everything to create a reflection, but looking at the views from above I thought they were additional rooms, with an open framed partition between them. You might want to crop them out of the image, or invest in a program that will add reflections.

Yes these are are 4 mirrors (wall cupboards). I don't know how generate real reflections in SU without renderer.
I'll try to crop this "additional room". Thanks

Regarding Scott's comments on the jungle of plants and computers, I agree, unless you have a client that actually lives like that.

Yes... I have one : me
In fact, the ony visible computer will be the tablet PC near the keyboards
"Unfortunately" ...I think there will be much more plants in my jungle

I'm quite surprise about comments regarding plants I feel good with them and so sad without greenery and sun.

For someone new to Sketchup, this is very inspiring work, great style.
I am trying to get up to speed with both Sketchup 7.1 and Photoshop CS;
which I plan to upgrade to CS4. Could you please point me in a direction
that will help me in creating this type of style. Thank you,Bob

Very impressive, I really like the style and all the green around the home, I would like to live with that much green too at my home,
but with a more simplistic/clean interior, but really I like it!

Keep it up man!

Thanks FoXar,
Glad to ear you.

Thanks Bob,

I'm no so a newbie ...I work with SU since november 2008 after 10 year with autocad
I obtain this style using two JPG :
One with black wire-frame on white paper.
Another one with color and textures.
I use photoshop elements to mix them (eraser with diferent levels of transparency)

Another exemples with this kind of style :

And what I did with autocad :
With Wire frame :

With autocad built in renderer :

Quite cold, istn't it ? (I did that to make me an idea about space and colors)
Far behind from what Majid and Solo are able to do
(Very great work, Majid !!! )

Beautiful image style...more please!?!

Love this style - very well done.

Can you say where you got the pallets, racking, forklifts, etc for the storage image?

I'm working on something similar and trying to decie if I should build my own components or buy them in.

Thanks.

In fact I use to draw my own 2D and 3D components (except plants, audi A4 and Smart in sketchup, which I downloaded on Google 3dwarehouse)

Really nice rendering style. Love it.

plot-paris

uh, I really like the fourth image, the line drawing with dimesions.
how did you get these dimensions in there? is it a texture? or 3D text?

dlauch

Very cool style. I played around with some of my sketchup images and Photoshop 7. to try to create a similar effect. I'm very happy with the results. Thanks for the inspiration!

teuf

Thanks

If someone is interested by these music instruments, I share them on Google download page :

Me too. Life is better surrounded by plants. Looks like you had fun with this personal project. Keep up the great work!

The lower face of the ceiling is white but the higher face of the ceiling is transparent.
With this easy way I can have shades in the rooms (Sketchup can't show light from "spot" like rendering software, so I use the sun...

It's not a perfect way, I know.
Any ideas ?

Do you work with both now or only with SU? Would you advice others to switch to SU?

Great visualizations!

I still use autocad for 2D.
But since I discovered Sketchup I don't use autocad for 3D anymore.

The advice is simple, install free sketchup, try it (it is very handy) read the memento !!(help / memento), look some tutorials on youtube, analyse some draws from 3D warehouse, download some textures from CG texture or SketchupTexture and love it

Since I teach SketchUp from time to time and most of the course participants are familar with autocad (and don't have much time to try SketchUp for fun), I'm happy about every argument to force their change to SU. Since I don't know autocad, it is difficult for me to find them myself...

Thank you for these helpful hints!
