The Art of SketchUp - part 2: Sci-Fi

Hi everyone,
I hope you had a good weekend.
Here are some older renders I did using one of the droids I posted in this thread a while ago.
Sketchup + Lumion3D + Photoshop.
Have a great week!

Well that doesn't look like anything I've seen done in Lumion as yet! It's so pretty for scene of destruction! Thanks for posting Ken. I think we may be benefiting to see works from your free time. I hope you get hooked up soon though, if not already.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for you kind words.
Yeah, it's nice to have free time to work on personal stuff. However, I still need to pay the bills and support the family.
I had a couple of interviews with some game companies, but they decided to pursue other candidates. A recruiter, friend of mine who worked in the same company some years ago, just emailed me today. He actually has a job opening that he want to talk to me about. We'll see how things go.
Have a great day!

Hi there,
Here are some more personal projects. Submarine concepts.
I really had fun working on the Sci-Fi/Steampunk submarine.
Have a great day!

Hey, my old '56 Sunliner is seeing some action
Did it survive the attack?Your work is fantastic, very imaginative, and very detailed (and I like details)
-
Absolutely incredible work Ken.
There are some amazing and talented people who post here. You all keep me inspired and constantly working to improve.

Your work is fantastic, very imaginative, and very detailed (and I like details)@ Steve M.: did you mean you have a real '56 Sunliner car, or did you build that model? When I don't have time or not so interested in modeling certain models, I downloaded some from the warehouse like that Sunliner.
Anyway, thanks for your comments. Glad you like my work. Yes, I love details.

I am happy that I am an inspiration for other Sketchup artists out there. One of the secrets of being a better modeler is practice, practice and practice. Pratice makes perfect as they say.
Hey everyone,
I hope you had a great weekend.
Here are some more vehicles. As usual, Sketchup + VrayfS + Photoshop.
Have a terrific week!

Thanks, Steve. Your model was very useful.
Hi everyone,
I hope you had a great weekend.
Here are some concepts for some space fighters. The first one was part of the vehicles from my personal project that I worked on during the winter break. Sketchup + VrayFS + Photoshop
The 4 sketches were done in late 2011. There were line sketches on top of Sketchup models.
Have a wonderful week!

Hi Eric. Thanks for your kind comment. Much appreciated.
I know that both of my Sci-fi and Fantasy threads are some of the most viewed on Sketchucation. However, I don't get many replies. Not that I expect people to reply, but sometimes it is nice to see you guys are interested in my work by posting comments, feedback or questions. Don't worry, I won't bite.
Anyway, back to the Sketchup models. I have posted sci-fi and contemporary military vehicles, submarines, tanks, spaceship, droids,helicopters. How about some airplanes?
So here's a couple of them.
Good day to you all,

Ken, your work is mind blowing, I'd really love to see your texturing techniques, all your stuff is so well made and textured.
-
Have you somewhere a step by step of an airplane ? Video ?
-
beautiful work ken, just perfect
-
over-achiever!
-
So much amazing work.
I wish I had so much time to make so many awesome models and also would love to be as good with photoshop. -
@ Oliver Shea, Daniel Cooter and Karl Künstler:
Thank you very much for your kind comments. Much appreciated.

Bonjour Pilou...sorry I don't have any videos. Maybe someday.

Thanks, Pete! Sorry for the late reply. I finally have the time to gather some images and put them together.
I do most of my texturing in Photoshop as postwork with different types of layers (diffuse/colors/materials; grimmaps; highlights, etc.). I play with the layer styles (multiply, overlay, etc.).
I hope the images below will be useful to you. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Have a great one!
