Most impressive SketchUp modelling

numbthumb · 22 Jan 2011, 10:00

But maybe an Only SketchUp without plugins

What would it prove? Masochistic traits or extraordinary craftsmanship? I guess it´s even possible to manually "subdivide and smooth", but at what cost?

Guys, guys...dont hijack this thread.
It's for showing "the world" what can be done with SketchUp as a modelling tool.
Images can be shown as renders but the focus for this thread is about great/exellent/superb modelling.
The best of the best! ...not just great.
If someone wants to make a new thread about modelling without plugins thats fine, but this thread allows plugins.

I'll split the topic when/if it continues. It is a debate worth having, but not here.

numbthumb · 22 Jan 2011, 10:51

Sorry, it wasn´t my intention to hijack the thread.
It´s just that I don´t see any point in pursuing such "plugin-free" attitude if this is the result.
No hard feelings.

The work of our so nice fellow DaveR is remarkable in many ways +++
and it is going to be a little hard to attest of it in one post..
DaveR Gallery (unfortunately lot of pictures had been accidentally deleted)
His Flickr's SketchUp Gallery

1)Modeling
Something particular in his drawings is that they are made to be realized. Consequently, each piece is completely drawn in its total complexity: even the hidden parts!!

2)Style and material
No doubt, Dave is unrivalled concerning what he is able to achieve with styles!! his materials are always first class too

3)Teaching
I think a majority of people don't even know that Dave is an absolute master in teaching SketchUp. His solutions are always astonishing and elegant.

all i actually wanted to say was that i think it should be a site where only moderators can post this, and we as public can comment on it, kind of like su oscars lol.

Thank you Simon.

Dave R · 24 Jan 2011, 16:35

Simon, you are very flattering. Thank you.

simon le bon · 25 Jan 2011, 01:27

@Silver:
judges versus reporters
competition versus admiration
organization versus democratic anarchy ?????
a big problem is that many moderators can pretend to compete

@Fred & Dave it had been a pleasure to me and first for myself to scan your works and then to report it the better I could.. Hope I don't make too much; hope I don't put me in place of a judge. It can be a danger of a wrong way...

Ah. I see. Thank you very much, Liam. You're right. Today in the UK and points east, it is already my birthday. That's kind of weird. It won't be my birthday here until tomorrow.
