As I am going through the archives looking for projects that
sketchup was instrumental in the design and presentation
I am seeing just how poor my skills were. The fact that
one can take this program without having much experience
and blunder through a model and come out with something
useful is a testament to the designers of sketchup.

It really is a fantastic tool.

This Model is one I did for a city architectural review board.

It is a mixed use condo.

I had not been using sketchup very long when I did this one and I
did not have any rendering program at that time. I kind of cut my teeth
on this one. Behind what you see in these images is a big, big, mess!
Loose geometry all over the place, no rhyme or reason to groups and
components. Just awful!

But, it still performed its purpose. It was approved and it helped
the designers visualize during the conceptual design process.

My company used this project as a "sink or swim" test for sketchup.

It swam.

Su 6 + some photoshop noise and scatter.

Even if it is bad from behind, it is fantastic from the front! The detailing is brilliant! Just goes to show how much better a model looks when properly detailed! Also good post processing. Sketchup colours are usually very naff, and you've done a good job at enhancing them.

Thank you Stevebo for your kind words.

If I have learned nothing else from going back through the old work is that
neatness counts.

The thought of purposeless lines floating around inside
my model keeps me awake at night!

Oh nooooo, I am becoming one of them....A modeler!
