Most impressive SketchUp modelling

[Daniel]

Not sure if he's been mentioned prior, but I think Tadema's work is worthy of inclusion. Here's one:

[Stinkie]

To be completely honest, none of the great samples shown in this thread would be possible without Plug-ins and painful long hours of recreating surfaces over and over again (work around's) until it fits. Right?

And you think that with other 3d apps you do it differenly? They may have all the plugin functions integrated but you still need patience and hard work to make cool stuff, in fact much more patience and hardwork to just learn the UI.

There is nothing wrong in having a simple and friendly interface that is augmented with mostly FREE plugins. Why would it benefit you to have a cluttered UI with all the possible tools and maybe just use 10% of them, instead of having a flexible UI?

Here we go again again...

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

This last model reminded me of Durant Hapke
We would be remiss to not include his work, although it was so much more than fantastic modeling.
I never missed a Durante rant, but I sure do now.
Durant, where are you?

Where ARE all the old posters?

Their work inspired me and their advice helped me.

Were they so good they became much sought after and no longer had time to post here?

I miss them. This thread is a good example of the incredible variety of design that can be done in SketchUp.

I'm old, and I post. Does that count?

I was looking for inspiration today. I just got it!!!! Absolutely amazing models and renders here. Great work everyone. Sketchup is so under valued and estimated for its ability of what it's capable of doing. Again, amazing work here by everyone.
Thanks all,
Jeff
