Community Modeling

[tadema]

A community model for all skill levels. A scene suggested by by ely862me it has a bit of everything, a vehicle, buildings, street furniture ect. we could use this as a starting point and let it develop over time.
First we need a suggestion for the vehicle from http://www.the-blueprints.com/ and I will purchase the vector drawings, ideally to match a model available from http://stores.ebay.co.uk/models4hobby/

suggestions Please...

Thanks Carsten.
Elisei, the tank looks good but if you could choose one from the vector drawings, they are much better to model from. I already have the credits.
Started to roughly block out the Streets/Houses and placed a proxy tank, I will sort a Drop-box account to place the .skp's pics ect.

Great.

[tadema]

A bit more blocking out done, everything can be altered/exchanged as we go. A bit of destruction next starting with the public house to upset Lee

great idea!

i wish i had the time to join in...

Tadema, you modeled all that in just a 12 hour day?

[tadema]

Thanks Jon, maybe you could join in next time.
It's not as complicated as it looks, there are a lot of components used, only one house was modelled to represent those to the left and facing the camera

Well this looks like fun, I hope to learn a trick or two from y'all.

[tadema]

Pete, if your time allowed you above all would be more than welcome to join in.
Bring the fun back into Sketchup

NO! Anything but the pub!

[ely862me]

Bit of work. Bumped the center of the roads, altered some sidewalks and the left building near the big crater .

I believe it is time to partially demolish the right building near the crater and to add some garbage and demolition debris. It would be cool if someone want to model some soldiers, or at least one with several gears to wear.

Thanks for the offer, I believe you guys have this well taken care of, I doubt I could be of much help and besides I like watching what you do as I want to learn new tricks.

Is there a file somewhere?

Interesting idea for sure.

[tadema]

Hello Rich, yes there's a file I've placed in a drop-box account, but I need to add peoples e-mail to allow them to take part. I don't know any other way of doing it.? It will also protect the model as it develops.

Anyone wanting access let me know

John

[Rich O Brien]

Can you add me John? U got my email already I think?

If not richob[at]sketchucation.com

I'd like a stab at rendering the final model if possible

[tadema]

You'd be welcome

John

[tadema]

There was just a couple of things I was wondering before it's too late.

What version of SU should the files be saved in.
There as 16 buildings visible atm (left to right) would it better if we had a "document" in the folder to let others know which part and who is working on what.
The Model needs sorting into Layers soon.

any other suggestions please

John
