      +Hey all,

      After sucking up information from this forum the last 2 years, I thought it would be more then fair to introduce myself and my 'work' till now 😄

      I must tell you guys and girls that I'm an IT-employee and have nothing to do with modeling, rendering of whatsoever.
      2 years ago I wanted to remodel the living room, but had troube imagining the different concepts. A quick search for some software that could help me in this case, quickly led me to Sketchup.
      After pushing some buttons, trying some settings, reading/watchting some tutorials I got started....and never stopped since 😄
      I started drawing everything in my house, starting with the big stuff (walls, windows, doors) en worked my way down to stuff like an iPhone, speaker, etc. This has been the best way for me to get familiair with all the standard tools in SU and automaticly makes you search for plugins to aid your tasks. PLUGINS FTW! And I do realy mean this: thank all you boys and girls who have those brains and a big heart for making those crafty plugins and sharing them with us all!

      After modeling some more, I started noticing beauties of SU-models with sweet looking graphs and learned 'rendering'.
      Remember, I had 0 minutes of modeling and/or rendering-experience when I started. To learn rendering from scratch, while your dayjob asks 50 hours a week from you, it's one hard son of a ... to get through. I started with KerkyThea (great free stuff) en ended up buying a full license of TheaRender. And here again, I'm an addict 😆
      Bought meself a new PC (i7 3200, 16GB, GeForce 560ti, etc.) for some 1500 euro's, just to get them renders and hard SU-jobs quicker...no other need. Besides the 1500 euros, it costed me a weeks fight with the misses, but worht it all and more 😡

      So, where am I now SU-wise?
      I must say, I'm impressed of myself 😄
      I just started with the Artisan packs and advanced Fredo-tools for some months now and am taking some daring little personal projects, wich could be real time killers 😄 I lost count of the times I checked the time and saw it was 4 in the morning "just a few more lines" 😄

      Hope you can enjoy my little addiction and can forgive the text and picture overload (it's been 2 years coming) 😆
      Comments is what I live on, so please 😉

      Here some pics of my work so far

        To borrow from the PUSH PULL forum....
        you are well on your way to being a "Craquer"
        But perhaps you could post a smaller number of images next time.

          The first forum who asked me to post less pictures... 😆
          I will strip it down tonight/tomorrow after work 😉

          And being/becoming a 'craquer': is that a compliment or...?
          Searched the net for the term 'craquer' but only found a french-english translation about being 'cute' 😳

          Please enlighten this simple dutch-man!

            Your images are large and many, it's killing my bandwidth. Your post takes 15 or more seconds to load. Too much.
            As for craquer, suprised you didnt get a search hit on the pushpullbar site. yes, it was a compliment.

              ... 15 sec to load?? Just takes up 2 seconds over here 😄
              But I hear you, will tone it down 😉

              And tried to search on PushPull, but since I don't have an account and have no time to spare this moment to make one, my searchtask couldn't be executed...

              But thanks for the complimant 😎

                Wow... 😲

                Drawing a single HDD VCM assembly in 2D is so frustrating for me, with all those 4 decimals dimensions and most of the time, the component blueprint is not giving a close loop geometry when drawn in CAD software. A HDD basedeck is much much worse because the blueprints dimensions are different between casting and machining and the numbers for normal and critical dimensions are a lot more than the VCM.

                Salute to you... 👍

                  Just do not use those stupid, external sites to embed enormous images. Attach them straight here and they will load the thumbnails first. 😉

                        Tried the advised, less 'stupid' way, but a no go.
                        Tried uploading three times, started with 15 simultaniously end ended with 5, but every time it returned to my post-edit screen and the deleted the written post...

                        Less stupid? maybe. Frustrating? Oh yeah 😄

                        Will try later again, but till then the 'heavy'(?) way 😉
