        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.

                  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.

                            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?

                            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%26amp;t=27030%26amp;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,

                                So many people told me the SketchUp wasn't a "REAL" 3d program. Obviously they have no idea what they are talking about. Glad I didn't listen.

                                    SU is a 3D program no doubt, but I think they mean ORGANIC and then they are right, sorry to tell but those space ships are boxy things and SU deal well with this. ๐Ÿ’š

                                        The images here are indeed impressive.

                                        It would be great if the poster/creator included the name of the renderer used as well as the plugins used, and, if there was any post-processing.

                                        This information is provided for a few of the images but it would be nice if this info was a normal part of the presentation.
