Dave R · 25 Jan 2011, 02:01

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.

It certainly is.

I dont want to be rude but some of these works are not... so impressive tho im not going to point out the ones that I have in my mind.

Love that quarter sawn texture on the little clock and the clock is really a beauty.

Thank you. I think it was you who made the quartersawn material.

Then what's the point of even commenting?

Like any art form, it's subjective to the eye of the beholder, not to mention the beholder's own skillset used as a frame of reference.

And dont forget this is also 'Most impressive SketchUp modelling**' not rendering! All of the models displayed here are special I think!

CoreMaster110 · 29 Jan 2011, 13:02

I wasn't only looking the render itself but also the model.
As the name of this topic is "MOST impressive sketchup modelling" then I realy hope to see MOST impressive modelling.

Dave R · 29 Jan 2011, 13:10

Why don't you offer something constructive?

Stinkie · 29 Jan 2011, 14:16

I'm thinking Karl means some of the stuff shown is quite simple. Which is true, obviously. That said, "simple" and "impressive" aren't mutually exclusive, IMHO.

Dave R · 29 Jan 2011, 15:09

I don't have any problem with a critique. I think it's a good thing if it is constructive. Vague comments like "not... so impressive" don't qualify as constructive criticism and comments like this aren't useful in any way in a thread like this with work from so many different people.

Rich O Brien · 29 Jan 2011, 15:11

It's a subjective topic. I find architecture, rendered or not, impressive as I'm not in that field. There's one particular member, tadema I think, has great models showing English cottages. Dave's furniture too is always something I enjoy viewing.

There's also stuff that I roll my eyes at that others get in a tizzy about. I choose not to comment unless asked for crits.

But what I like most is members solutions to tricky shapes. Jeff Hammond's skatepark stuff where Elisei showed such a clever solution that continued to get refined just blew me away. None of this stuff is here but it's the things I bookmark as pure modelling.

If you wanna see what I call genius at work, watch Kito Kraupp on YouTube. That's impressive to me. Wish my brain work like that!

CoreMaster110 · 29 Jan 2011, 15:18

I dont say that some of the models are not impressive because they are simple nor am I trying to say that they are bad, but what im trying to say is that you could find thousands of models from warehouse that are more impressive then some of the models here.
If these models can't impress me than how can they impress people who use 3ds, maya etc???
