        One of my favourite compositions I have seen that is made in sketchup. It is made by Aleksandar Vrangaloski. http://www.cgarchitect.com/2012/07/pixel

          You cannot leave out this Massive starship by Ken. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ That is of course, if it's alright with him. ๐Ÿ˜‰ If you add it, make sure to show multiple views to showcase the tremendous amount of detail and talent involved.

          **>> Hi SketchUpNoobie,

          My apologies for the really late reply. It's long overdue. Of course, you can post any of my works anytime. However the image you uploaded was a WIP/low res image.

          Please allow me to post the final renders below. These were done two years ago. I wish I can have time to revisit them and maybe add gun turrets or something, and some textures/colors.

          Anyway, thanks for visiting and may you all have a wonderful new year 2013 filled with good health, happiness and prosperity! ๐Ÿ˜‰

          All the Best,

                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?

                Please? When was I asking for a cluttered up interface!!!!!

                Hi Ken that looks very impressive. Can you give us a rough run down of how you created this masterpiece in SU? Can you even move around in that massive scene how many tris? How is this structured (Components, groups)?
                What plug ins did you use most and what were the biggest challenges using SU to create this?

                simplicity is the ultimate sophistication

                    Hi Olav/ DesertRaven,

                    Thanks for you nice comment. I really appreciate that you are interested and ask questions about the process.

                    If you want to see the different steps, please check out this thread:
                    http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=27030&start=30

                    Basically, I started with basic shapes (cubes, cylinders, etc.) and slowly added details.

                    The file is actually not that big, about 41MB. The model has 1,808,844 faces (tris and quads), or maybe a little bit more.

                    I used groups as well as lots of components for repetitive elements.

                    It took me about 3 weeks, working a few hours each night to finish the starship.

                    The plugins mostly used were:

                    • Tools on Surface
                    • Basic tool set (Line, Arc, Circle, Push, Pull, scale, etc.)
                    • TIG's Extrusion Tools
                    • Joint Push Pull/NUL Transformation

                    Hope this helps. If you have more questions, please feel free to ask. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                    Best,

                    _KN

                      I occasionally work on this SketchUp model of an old sixties style dragster. It is accurate and period correct.

                            These images are produced mostly in sketchup. He used to have a great wealth of info regarding this project on his blog, including tuts, workflows, etc. But as time went on it has moved to the back burner and the amount of info has decreased, but I still find it very inspirational.

                            He also used to have some videos on youtube showing his sketchup workflow. I forget what they were called but they're a good watch.

                            I love this kind of renders that preserves the original sketchy style, only SketchUp can provide...

                                  I like that first one you posted a lot Frenchy! Great style, color, and modeling.

                                  Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

                                      Very very nice.

                                      You know. ..I was hoping that someday I too would have a post on this "Most Impressive" page as well.

                                      I guess this is it. ๐Ÿ’š

                                      If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                                        Hi Everybody,

                                        I would like to submit this model made by SketchNL. In my opinion this one belongs here in this topic.

                                            The latest from our resident sunglass-wearing frog, Tadema, should be included in this gallery.
