Most impressive SketchUp modelling

pbacot · 25 Oct 2011, 17:28

Yeah this is a great idea im fed up of people saying how awful sketchup is and not worthy to compete with the other software such as 3ds and maya I have this argument constantly on scifimeshes.com.

I think Im going to make a page on my blog for the best of the best sketchup models feel free to link people to that page as it will be just images thet everybody can view!

And of course ill credit each image with the creator etc

And by the way silvershadows boat is Snowberry not blueberry haha

I just came upon Liam's note way at the beginning of this thread so I thought I'd bump it because many people have probably missed his link-- worth a look.

Thanks, Liam!

Very well done.

My only criticism is considering the high quality of the work in general, I would have used a much higher segment count for the wheels and fenders, to smooth out those curves. It looks like the default 24.
I would have used at least 48 or even 60+ just for those large circles.

Here are a few more photos of JMJ-Ohio's amazing work.

Below are a few shots of the '32 Ford Highboy he is building to house his fantastic engine. It's still a work in progress.

If you put your ear to the screen, you can actually hear it running

I tried that - burned my ear on the exhaust pipe

Wow, I'll bet this guy sleeps in a spacesuit with a phaser under his pillow I'm not really into spacecraft that much but these are some of the best I've seen. He doesn't go overboard with the details like some I've seen, they are clean and very well thought out.

The video tutorial on post processing is excellent, I've only watched about 6 minutes of it and already I've learned a lot.

Thanks for posting this Marian
