      **>> Bonjour Pilou. I am mainly using TIG's set of extrusion tools (Extrude Edges by Rails, etc.). I have been using the Create Mesh from Tgi3D for lots of my organic models lately. I do have Artisan. It is a great plugin, but I somehow don't have the chance to use it a lot.

      Have a great day!

                Hello everyone,

                I hope you have a good weekend.

                Here are some old SketchUp models/ Alien and human props I did for the game Defiance back in early 2010.

                Take care,

                      Hi there,

                      Here's a personal project. I did a few of these sci-fi interior concepts. I posted a couple of them before and will post some more later.

                      SketchUp + V-Ray for SketchUp + Photoshop

                      Hope you like it.

                      Have a great day!

                          The texturing is great, with plenty of variation giving it life.
                          But I'm guessing most of it is painted in PS (like scrathes and highlighted areas).

                            Glad you like the texturing, Adorno. The SketchUp model is actually fully textured and rendered with V-Ray for SketchUp. I did the glows, high lights, scratches in PS postwork.

                            Here's a visual development I did a few months ago. I imported the SketchUp models into Lumion3D, rendered the image and did some PS postwork. The helicopter is from FormFonts. The boats are from Lumion3D.

                            I did the offshore oil rig and used one of my submarine models.

                            Hope you like it.

                            Have a great day! ☀

                                Hello everyone,

                                Here's a personal piece I did a couple of years ago.

                                I think I posted the helicopter in my one of my older posts.

                                The alien UFO is a simple Sketchup model. Mountain environment in Vue and postwork in PS as usual.

                                I have been having fun with some police chase visual developments. Sketchup models by me, from Google warehouse, 3D models from my resource folder or Formfonts. Lumion3D for rendering and PS postwork.

                                Have a great week!

                                      Hi guys,

                                      Sorry for not posting anything for a while. I have been quite busy with work and personal stuff.

                                      I hope you all had a great holiday season so far.

                                      You saw this helicopter below. It is one of my favorites. Therefore I use it a lot in many of my visual developments. Lately I am in love with Lumion3D, that's why I use this software for pretty much all of my environmental concepts.

                                      Have a wonderful new year 2014 filled with success, love, joy, prosperity, good health, friendship and everything you wish for.

                                      All the Best,

                                        Hi there,

                                        Some more concepts using the same helicopter.

                                        Sketchup models + Lumion3D + PS

                                        For those who play video games, these concepts are similar to the ones for FPS games like Call of duty or Battlefield.

                                        Speaking of game, I have released my first iOS game for iPhone/iPad, using some sketchup models in there. If you have not seen it check it out:

                                          Hi there,

                                          It has been a while I have not posted any images I did for the game Defiance (http://www.trionworlds.com/en/games/defiance/).

                                          So here they are.

                                          Have a good weekend!
